OpenBSD is a fucking joke!

Today OpenBSD 5.4 has been released ^[1], also known as ``the most secure operating system ever'', or at least that's what the NSA wants you to think!
Did you ever tried to install OBSD? no? well, it's pretty simple: you first go to http://openbsd.org (sorry, no TLS) and click on "Getting releases", then choose some mirror from the list of http, ftp or CVS servers, and now if you want to check the integrity of your download look the SHA256 file that you got from the same place..... wait, what?..
Yup, that is, enterprise security technique! who needs any DSA/RSA signed hash when you can trust: your LAN, your ISP, the tier1 route til the mirror, the mirror itself, and the fUCKING WHOLE INTERNET.

This is fucking ridiculous, do not trust what the media says, OpenBSD is a fucking joke!

Fuck off, Marc.

I'm not marc, i'm just some guy, all the big news aggregators are linking to that marc.info sites where it says that OpenBSD is short on funding. All this weeks after /prog/ said OpenBSD was a "fucking joke". I could have linked to a reddit page too, but judging from past events on this board, that would have been extremely distasteful and worthy of deletion and banning.

In any event, I'm sorry if I my post didn't match your quality standards.

>>42
Relax it's a joke ;) Marc likes to link us to his blog for advertising dollars

Could any nice /prog/rider post this thread on Reddit and Hacker News?

>>44
Why?

>>45
because they thing they are so smarth, but they don't know the truth!

>>46

You know I was saying the same thing to your mom the other day whilst I was ravaging her anus!

not sure if this site should be posted to reddit, it would blow the cover and we would soon be invaded by san francisco javascript programmers. No more Scheme and Lisp, all hipstr.js and ruby on rails !

>>48
This site isn't Web3.0 enough. They'd never stay.

Just to bring this issue back to the forefront.

In light of shrinking funding, we do need to look for a source to
cover project expenses. If need be the OpenBSD Foundation can be
involved in receiving donations to cover project electrical costs.

But the fact is right now, OpenBSD will shut down if we do not have
the funding to keep the lights on.

If you or a company you know are able to assist us, it would be
greatly appreciated, but right now we are looking at a significant
funding shortfall for the upcoming year - Meaning the project won't be
able to cover 20 thousand dollars in electrical expenses before being
able to use money for other things. That sort of situation is not
sustainable.

new development today

http://bsd.slashdot.org/story/14/01/19/0124202/openbsd-moving-towards-signed-packages-based-on-d-j-bernstein-crypto

It's official: 'we are moving towards signed packages,' says Theo de Raadt on the misc@ mailing list. This is shortly after a new utility, signify, was committed into the base tree. The reason a new utility had to be written in the first place is that gnupg is too big to fit on the floppy discs, which are still a supported installation medium for OpenBSD. Signatures are based on the Ed25519 public-key signature system from D. J. Bernstein and co., and his public domain code once again appears in the base tree of OpenBSD, only a few weeks after some other DJB inventions made it into the nearby OpenSSH as well.

I guess /prog/ is really on to what's going on in the computing industry. Or maybe mr. de raadt reads /prog/

b-but-but If the men in black suits are out to get you, they're going to get you., why theo changed opinion [spoiler];_;[/spoiler] (that was a shitty joke, I hoppe you enjoyed)

awwwww

>>53
Men in black are only interested in UFOs and ETs. Theo cant even get his government (overt or covert) agencies right.

>>54
To be fair to Theo, the men in black are very different from the men in black suits (although both of them wear black suits).

>>53
I like how they are all for backward compatibility and do not go the Microsoft/Apple/etc bullshit way of "YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER AND OPERATING SYSTEM EVERY YEAR TO DARE CALL YOURSELF A 'GEEK', IF YOU RUN XP YOU'RE LIVING IN THE PAST AND ARE A LOOSER HURF DURF TURF. EVERYONE NEEDS AT LEAST 200 GB OF RAM AND A 1 THZ PROCESSOR".

>>56
Please go back to where you came from.

Rejoice, gentlemen, for OpenBSD 5.5 will have tedu's package signing system:

http://www.openbsd.org/55.html

Releases and packages are now cryptographically signed with the signify(1) utility.

>>58
so openbsd is serious now?

>>59
OpenBSD has always been serious.

>>60
>>6 could've fooled me!

>>61
A blind monkey could fool you.

Well, I guess it's okay. OpenBSD has finally gotten around to putting up a ``NO TRESPASSING'' sign on its lawn (pun intended). Thank goodness, I can take it seriously now.

OpenBSD 5.5 has been released, and it has package signing with tedu's signify tool.

Does this thing have network drivers and XMonad support?
