I'm moving to @brynet! This account will remain. Feel free to follow me on both, or.. you know. If you wanna. :blobpeek:

I have sent out a patch for the #OpenBSD athn driver which switches this driver from MiRA to RA. Please help with testing if you can :flan_smile:


Would really appreciate a pizza today. :flan_peek:

#RUNBSD @eurobsdcon Todd Mortimer gave a brilliant talk on #ROP #Exploit #Mitigations in #OpenBSD check it out here Thanks Todd for explaining what Return Oriented Programming is, and how to mitigate against it.

Hi! I'm Pamela, and I make the "flan" emoji set:

:flan_tea: :flan_royal: :flan_writing: :flan_cheer: :flan_molotov:

I learned inkscape to make them, and it has been amazing watching them spread through the Fediverse!

I adore making the set, and I want to add to it and develop new ones! What I need is some breathing room so I can create, and so I'm launching this patreon.

If you enjoy my work, I would really appreciate your support! Thanks! :flan_guns:

#openbsd gamers - #Chasm is a metroidvania indie gem released *today* that runs on OpenBSD with sound and gamepad support - first fully running commercial game of 2018! Steam library needs to be replaced with a stub, but that's all! Then just run #fnaify on it and you're good to go!

looks like the schedule for #eurofreebsdcon is out 

Don't waste personal favours again by asking me to please submit because there are so few OpenBSD proposals. :flan_tired:

A lengthy report! ☺️

People are insecure about things you wouldn't even imagine. They're afraid you are judging them based on things you haven't even noticed. They secretly believe they're dull or untalented even as you sit in awe of their skills, insight or accomplishments.

Accept them for who they are. Listen to their fears and doubts. Then show them precisely what it is about them that shines so brightly and fiercely that you can't look away.

Just like clockwork, when I am about to call it a night, the TU Graz guys release a new Spectre level: NetSpectre. It is “a remote Spectre attack without attacker-controlled code on the victim, and the first Spectre attack which works without the cache as covert channel.”


Theo de Raadt on unveil(2) usage in base, a userland diff (approx. 37 programs so far) demonstrating how it will be used, also touching a bit on chrome:
