This week on the show, we have all the latest news and stories! Plus we’ll be hearing more about OpnSense from the man himself, Ike!
“There are several difficulties maintaining embargoes. Keeping secrets is against human nature. I don’t want to be the one who leaks, but if I see something that looks like the secret is out, it’s a relief to be able to speak freely. There is a bias towards recognizing such signs where they may not really exist. (Exacerbated by broad embargoes where some parts leak but other parts don’t. It’s actually very hard to tell what’s not publicly known when you know everything.)
The most thorough embargo and release timeline reconstruction is the heartbleed timeline. It’s another great case study. Who exactly decided who were the haves and have nots? Was it determined by who needed to know or who you needed to know? Eventually the dam started to crack.”
“When Cloudflare brags that they get advance notice of vulnerabilities, attracting more customers, and therefore requiring even more early access, how are smaller players to compete? What happens if you’re not big enough to prenotify?
Sometimes vulnerabilities are announced unplanned. Zero day cyber missiles are part of our reality, which means end users don’t really have the luxury of only patching on Tuesday. They need to apply patches when they appear. If applying patches at inconvenient times is a problem, make it not a problem. Not really a gripe about embargoes per se, but the scheduled timing of coordinated release at the end of the embargo is catering to a problem that shouldn’t exist.”
Other packages have gotten a bump with this release as well:
What are you waiting for? Amd64 and i386 images are ready for you to download now.
HardenedBSD + LibreSSL
Michael Dexter's talk at LFNW 2016 is the 2nd highest youtube views from this years conference
Why OpenBSD is important to me
Study of nginx-1.9.12 performance/latency on DragonFlyBSD-g67a73
Running FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSD as a virtualised guest on Online.net
The interesting story of how IllumOS syscalls work
The BeaST is the FreeBSD based dual-controller reliable storage system concept with aim to implement ZFS and in-memory cache.
Francois Tigeot updates the drm/i915 driver to match what’s in Linux kernel 4.3
FreeBSD is working on the update to Linux Kernel 4.6, we may finally get ahead of Dragonfly!
