*BSD is dead
Wow, the guy who wrote that bit is really a pompous asshole.
I'm serious, folks. This is important information for all drunks. I FUCKING HATE all those asshole yuppies who drink fucking apple martinis and shit, fucking Hollywood posers who ask for Ketel One martinis. A real vodka drinker knows that "vodka" is Russian for "water" and he doesn't give a shit whether his vodka is filtered through peat moss or fucking moon rocks. And a real martini drinker drinks GIN martinis only, like the original Martinez but with a lot less vermouth, and preferably a simple solid gin like Beefeater rather than that pansy perfumy shit like Bombay Saffire. FUCK YOU PEOPLE!! If you're going to be an alcoholic, do it with some fucking CLASS. GIN MARTINIS OR NOTHING, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
(takes long pull from flask)
errr, nevermind.
Linux is chickenshit.
well.. its "secure out of the box". Then again, it comes "out of the box" with no services running whatsoever except for ssh.
NetBSD or FreeBSD are actually just about as secure out of the box... and any sysadmin worth their salt could easily lock down just about any BSD, Linux, or Solaris (or other SysV OS) just fairly easily.
install Apache on it, and suddenly its only as secure as apache is (admittedly, if you run it as chroot, its probably not a big hole either).
I've avoided OpenBSD mainly for Theo's attitude. I've posted messages to the other BSD's and gotten fairly informative replies. I've seen too many messages on the OpenBSD boards, from a newbie, basically gotten flamed big time. I just don't think its a good way to promote an OS.
OpenSSH and the pf packet filter though, do look very nice.
bzzt. sorry, fuckerhead. i've had the displeasure of using OpenBSD here and there since it was born. it used to be an interesting alternative. now its just a piece of fucking shit.
:o) your blind belief in fucking shit is proof.
you are wrong, stupid and moronic! all at the same time
keep itup loserfuck. more fuckheads like you make it easier for me to find a job if and when i need one
-Not everyone needs SMP. Most people, including you, that always bitch about SMP probably don't need it in the first place. SMP brings security issues. For a project like OpenBSD, they are not going to just jump into something like this.
You don't know what you are talking about. Bad kernel hackers, like the ones on OpenBSD, cant do it because its difficultly and than blame security. PATHETIC. Fuck you I don't need it. "Not everyone needs a computer" is about the same as saying not everyone needs SMP.
Won't even bother with this. You must have been living under a rock for a last year or two.
Loser. Your snarky know it all attitude only provides further evidence you are a fat sexless live at home loser with no job.. Name something unique to OpenBSD.
Complete opposite. Look on the mailing lists if you want to see people talking without action.
Lies. Total Lies. Yeah, his wonderful personality went over well in NetBSD land.
Incorrect, missing details. Taken out of context.
Sentence fragments. Aren't. Cool. And. You. Seem. Like. An. Arrogant. Fucker. Now cut your fucking propagandist lies.
Stolen code? From a BSD licensed system? OpenBSD is probably the only OS that cares about licesensing[sic]. They audit licenses as well as code.
Yeah right, if you knew how to actually read programming you would see certain things in OpenBSD strikingly - well, blatantly RIPPED OFF.
Seperate[sic] project. And a good one at that.
Yes it is. And its the only worthwhile piece of OpenBSD.
Again, get out from under your rock. If only everyone audited code.
Lies again. Auditing my ass. I've run many systems, and OpenBSD's little requisite of now having anything turned on to be secure is amusing. You could go back 15 years and audit the UNIX code base from back than and get the job done rather quickly. But it would still be useless in today's world. Kind of like OpenBSD.
bad hardware? Realtek. hahaha. sure thing pal, tigon3/bcm5700, syskonnect and a gamut of other high end cards. Your OS doesn't do polling to stop live locking from interrupts. What do you have to say about that.
prove it
prove that its better than anything else. I have proven it to myself, and I have show the results to people that matter. That wouldn't be you.
bad scheduler, no SMP, bad at handling massive amounts of interrupts generated by high load networking You have already bitched about SMP, see first comment. OpenBSD has proven to handle some pretty decent loads. If you knew what you were talking about, you would have already seen the benchmarks floating around.
Yes, now repeat the test with two gigE cards. OpenBSD as a router with high volume traffic is laughable soft in the networking department. You know nothing of performance oriented computing. Your lies and lack of knowledge tell the story here, the SMP is a crucial feature on systems without a real strategy for handling the service needs of network cards. OpenBSD's approach to this is as bad as it gets. I'll stick to Net, Free and Linux over this trash. And if you cant see that some loser showing a corner case to "prove" OpenBSD is better is a farce, well, that is exactly what i expect of you.
Get over SMP. *YOU* DON'T NEED IT. The ports work fine.
Yes, I fucking do, ASSHOLE. You think this is a game? That this is some firewall shit at home? You really, really don't know what the fuck this is about. You are so pathetic, and this is such a testament to the fact. If something is difficult to accomplish, downplay it. This is like basic psychology and you are trapped and caught like the know nothing rat you are.
Shame you don't have a need for UNIX. An MP3 Samba server in your parents basement doesn't count.
Wrong. And your kiddie porn server with picture of you and your parents, while busy, is a shameful way to make money. OpenBSD is not Unix. Clearly. SYSV an
