I like #OpenBSD and turtles. 🍕🐈💻🇨🇦
It seems we're doing #introduction #introductions again.. 😀
I'm a pizza 🍕 obsessed Canadian 🇨🇦 who also occasionally does #OpenBSD 🐡 , and all without pants. I also enjoy watching TV and pondering whether my cat loves or me.. 😺
You too can earn the illustrious top spot on the pizza wall of fame! 🍕https://brynet.biz.tm/wallofpizza.html

I'm excited when my cat does new interesting things like a parent is when it's their child.. 😺
New FAQ showing off the fuzzy matching in #OpenBSD's pkg_* tools: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgDup https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=150869609614677&w=2
Interesting technique by Todd Mortimer to reduce the number of gadgets on x86 even further: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=150869222214001&w=2 #OpenBSD #clang
I finally just realized you can "Pin" new columns on Mastodon, keeping searches open like Tweetdeck. It's still not great though..
#OpenBSD songs 3.0-6.2 potpourri with artwork and release history:
@kurtm @kellerfuchs and to be perfectly clear: we coordinated with the original author on our commit in August.
That the author regrets that choice is 1) not our problem, and 2) not our responsibility.
it is completely inappropriate that he singled out #OpenBSD, when e.g. Mikrotik also stealth published before hands.
Bugs show up everywhere:

This is a full disclosure of a 4 byte stack overwrite in GNU ghostscript 9.07.
Though perhaps I should have sat on it for 4 months, and registered a domain first? How does ghostsmash.com sound?
Astonishing how anyone could think this is anything BUT toxic..
"Mailed you a diff, please sit on it for 3 or 4 months while I pass it around to various government and private institutions."
and regarding the embargo:
Tedu on HN: “A bunch of dudes on a linux mailing list lack the authority to prevent OpenBSD from fixing things.”
Don't worry about today's WPA2 vuln if you're running #OpenBSD - both 6.1-stable and 6.2 release are already patched.
As #OpenBSD's de-facto wifi maintainer, I first learned about this WPA problem in June. A simple patch was provided which I could commit with slight modifications.
The original embargo was already 2 months long, and then extended again for 2 months.
The generall public (you) were left in the dark about this for at least 4 months.
This is a very sad state of affairs. It takes the industry much too long to apply a simple patch.

Would appreciate someone sharing my previous post on Twitter, thanks!
