Why yes, I already have.

I installed wayland and gnome 3. I also got overwatch to work from wine and I'm getting 134fps .

Also since overwatch expects a windows file manager and processor list I've made wallhacks and they will never get detected.

The article says:
> The CIA has developed automated multi-platform malware Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux and more.
This means that the malware isn't actually in the kernel itself, but rather it seems to attack users.
But I don't understand how this works: does it attack people automatically after they connect to the internet or something like on old Windows XP, where several forms of malware attacked you immediately after connecting to the internet?

Install the ports heriarchy stuff and the manager or whatever. I skipped that on download because I didn't want to go through 26,000 fucking ports and uninstall shit. Trying to figure out how to find a decent package and port it to an air gapped pc is kind of a pain the ass since BSD has a weird thing between the OS documents insisting you need to download a manager, while the websites paperwork says you can just make install a port package

FreeBSD is still the closet fork from unix.

OpenBSD is fine for any desktop, getting your shit working with a laptop is tougher.

Basically we have, in ascending order, a difficulty list (for ease of use / getting shit to work, especially with laptops) for freetard OS's:

Normie Linux
Power User Linux
PCBSD
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
NetBSD

As far as being 0day proof it looks like the ranking, in terms of exploits, is:

Normie Linux
(possible) Power User Linux
FreeBSD+PCBSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD (no exploits mentioned)

FreeBSD 11 has a number of anti-prying and jimmying features that you can enable during installation or presumably upgrade or source build, many borrowed from OpenBSD. If you turn them all on it might help.

For me, it's a matter of preferring stability over newest features/hardware support (because when I do plan out new hardware purchases, I always make sure to check compatability, as software is more important than hardware, a presedence UNIX set back in 1970 and something that's still true to this day).
TrueOS runs tracks -CURRENT on their own release schedule, and one of the defining features of FreeBSDs release engineering is the fact that ABI and KBI are guarenteed not to break on minor version differences, whereas -CURRENT means following HEAD where a lot of ABI/KBI changes happen.

Assuming you don't run public-facing daemons on your router or firewall, FreeBSD can do just as well - and it can jail whatever public-facing daemons you do want to run, so even if someone gains priviledged access they can't do more than fuck up the jail which can be resource limited with rctl and can be shut down and reverted in a matter of seconds.

It's not, simply because the OS's security model entirely revolves around wishful thinking. "everyone is perfect and bugs can't happen", "everyone is perfect and nobody could overlook any bug if they did happen", "privilege escalation doesn't matter if it's not a remote execution exploit", "we don't need jails... look! jails! we invented that! It'll only be ready in 10 years, we win again!", etc.

It may or may not be true that openbsd is more secure by default than the average GNU distro (there aren't enough bsd users to even make that claim -- no users = no reason to target = no malicious 3rd parties looking for flaws = significantly lesser flaw discovery rate; but it can empirically be asserted that the openbsd devs care more about code audits than the linux fundation -- but again, how can you say that e.g. the NSA is less interested in code auditing linux than openbsd devs are interested in code auditing openbsd? The NSA has actual security goals, the openbsd devs only have marketing goals).

However, it is a trivial fact that a properly configured openbsd not only completely throws the audit advantage away but also happens to be less secure than a properly configured GNU OS because there quite simply aren't as many layers of security that can even be put on top of openbsd. The equation is fairly trivial too: if you have X on top of Y, and X never touches a level lower than or equal to Y, then it follows that it is impossible for X to compromise Y even if it is a malicious program. At worst it merely exposes Y to be exploited, thus it is at worst no defense and at best non-0 defense.
>>
>>59295482
It's not always viable for people to upgrade production systems with every bugfix. For example, doing so may break the system due to some unforeseen changes to the underlying architecture necessary to fix the bug. Thus, a testing period must happen first in most cases (there are exceptions and it's becoming more and more popular to quickly deploy critical updates, thankfully, but it's still not applicable to a lot of internet-facing sites).

So don't use Broadcom. My Intel wifi works out of box with FreeBSD. Most audio, video, etc. is fully supported. A bonus with FreeBSD is that their ABI has remained stable since forever, so drivers for obscure hardware still work just fine.

Also while NetBSD does run on a shit load of architectures, FreeBSD supports a bunch now too.

No, copies=2 is useless for the kind of hardware redundancy and high availability that mirroring or parity-backed data-striping offers. Copies exist for three reasons:
● Improves data retention by enabling recovery from unrecoverable block read faults, such as media faults (commonly known as bit rot) for all ZFS configurations.
● Provides data protection, even when only a single disk is available.
● Enables you to select data protection policies on a per-file system basis, beyond the capabilities of the storage pool.

They are easily some of the best things I've read, they always explain everything I need to know and nothing more, I learned everything I needed to know about maintaining and operating an installation via the handbook.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/
There's a bunch of books on writing drivers, the make system they have, high availability/redundancy, and anything else you'd ever need or want. It's really great in that regard and I wish everyone took documentation so seriously, I don't care what the merits of an OS are if I don't know how to utilize them. I make this same argument when talking about software libraries too.

I'm on the fence here, but I need one question answered.
Does FreeBSD overcommit virtual memory?
>>
>>59318451
>The vm.overcommit sysctl defines the overcommit behaviour of the vm subsystem. The virtual memory system always does accounting of the swap space reservation, both total for system and per-user. Corresponding values are available through sysctl vm.swap_total, that gives the total bytes available for swapping, and vm.swap_reserved, that gives number of bytes that may be needed to back all currently allocated anonymous memory. Setting bit 0 of the vm.overcommit sysctl causes the virtual memory system to return failure to the process when allocation of memory causes vm.swap_reserved to exceed vm.swap_total. Bit 1 of the sysctl enforces RLIMIT_SWAP limit (see getrlimit(2)). Root is exempt from this limit. Bit 2 allows to count most of the physical memory as allocatable, except wired and free reserved pages (accounted by vm.stats.vm.v_free_target and vm.stats.vm.v_wire_count sysctls, respectively).

If someone were too lazy to create a repository of tarballs for pkginstall can you just move the tar to a USB and run the install off of that?

OpenBSD is in the backpocket of MS whom is also in the backpocket of various spy agencies.

FreeBSD if it ever fell into harms way would be forked as has already been done by some mega autismos and then if that fork falls victim a new one is created and so on. They can't win.

Oh for fucks sake, so you're telling me that there's a split between Linux and BSD much in the same where there's a split between Linux and Windows?

So Linux is the Windows of the UNIX world now? It's like inception levels of bullshit.

You're showing your colors simply by making that statement, and it shows how much you don't know.
I work as a Tier1 SP senior network admin, and if I fuck up, billions of people notice - just look at the poor sod who brought down US-EAST-1 on AWS.

That's pretty much exactly what it's become. It used to be for hackers, now it's for users.

I still use it for hacking. It's good thing to suck in some normalfags too, just to make us be noticed.
>>
>>59321518
You should try one of the BSDs. More useful users, instead of the ones that just copy/paste commands without even thinking about it - and the base install is made for hacking, because you get a compiler, an editor and everything else you need out of a default installation.
>>
>>59321192
>and only retards use their real name online.
t. I've never worked a professional job before

>>59321384
There has always been a split. Linux has practically nothing to do with BSD aside from the unix like operating system gnu provided.
Read any unix book ever made and it'll give you a little back history on unix and unix like systems.
>>
>>59321578
Well, Linux devs can push fucking hardware devs to release documentation for their stupid product. This way, Linux can improve BSD. Also the userspace on desktops are mostly the same.
>>
>>59285451
>It has atrocious hardware support and all relevant browsers run like shit on it.

No it does not have "atrocious" support. "Lacking" would be a more accurate term because all it takes is for someone to write the driver. Atrocious support would imply that the operating system's underlying architecture for drivers is badly designed and closed-source which is not the case for BSD.
>>
>freeBSD
OpenBSD is the only secure, reliably maintained and carefully audited *nix. FreeBSD is cancer.

>>59284984
Just installed OBSD on my T420. Had full functionality straight out of the box including all the buttons etc. Super smooth install.

Though I haven't tested wifi, I'm using ethernet. I like how it feels so far, still setting everything up but probably going to try putting it on my old Powerbook Duo next.
>>
>>59285447
oBSD isn't exploit-free because it has a minority user share. That's the linux meme. It's secure because it's very carefully maintained and regularly audited. Open source fails when bloat and complexity means that no one is actually reviewing any one's pushes. Backdoors are hidden in public through information flooding
>>
>>59300167
What are you talking about? oBSD's install is fucking trivial, like 'choose hostname, domain name, root pw, and autosetup internet connection via dhcp' trivial. thinkpad support at least is a given.
>>
>>59321967
Even doas came out as buggy as hell, altought they could test it with only with a wrong config file. I don't trust them either.

I don't know what you mean about userspace I don't use a desktop on my BSD machine it's just a terminal(s). If there is any similarity it's from mostly gnu attempting to be unix like, both are basically just descendants of unix even if they have different writing to do replicate it to act like unix. I don't know how similar the kernels are but looking past their essential functionality to the system it's really just a small part of it all and all the intercompatibility is probably due to posix and ansi c. If linux hadn't of been using gnu stuff as the default it probably would of been a BASIC/dos situation with everything getting slight changes and variation until it was no longer compatible with one another.
I really doubt linux can improve BSD they are just two different things. Not everything needs to be a desktop OS it's probably good people have choices with to do all that stuff with if they want.
>>
>>59324082
You didn't understood. Never mind.
>>
>>59324120
No I understand. You want a desktop GUI. You don't seem to know the real differences between the two OS'.
I wanted a unix terminal system. Downloaded freebsd, what do you know I got a free unix terminal system. That was dope. If you want to dress it up to look like windows or mac that's your call pal. There is some compatibility between the two but you're just trying to reinvent the wheel.
BSD has no problem if you want to make a fork of their project and start something like that because muh security.

>>59324396
Don't bother, BSDtards (and especially openbsdinbreds) know nothing but to build and respond to (or attack) strawmen. Anyone with even half a brain can see they keep missing every single point but from their point of view, they're constantly on point and always BTFOing shills or whatever.

FreeBSD has the best documentation of all the freetard OS's. This is not up for debate.
>>
>>59324396
Then say what you mean. BSD tends to reject firmware. Sounds like you want firmware support.
>>59324538
I'm not associated with BSD. I just wanted a barebones unix system and freebsd is the closest thing to that. It's pretty nice a lot of the generic desktop stuff can be added to it if you want it, but the whole panic people are throwing over recent events is completely over blown.
>>
>>59325615
>BSD tends to reject firmware. Sounds like you want firmware support.
To be fair with FreeBSD the firmware is often a binary blob.
>>
>>59325615
Is that why openbsd is chuckfull of binary firmware that are totally not called blobs because blobs are evil and we're blob free because we redefined the word blob to mean drivers?
>>
Are you saying that this bsd can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Windows 10, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. Redhat and canonical tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing Linux but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the BSD could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.
>>
>>59326311
openbsd only has proprietary blobs that run on hardware peripherals, no proprietary software runs on the OS itself, no proprietary software has OS access
>>
>>59326311
no a blob is some binary you don't have the source to and which is nonobvious in function

don't try to be a CIA nigger and get all SJW by redefining terms
>>
>>59326410
Nice backpedaling openbsdtard. That's why nobody take your ilk seriously. At least there's libertybsd, barely.
>>
>>59326424
I'm not the one redefining terms. OpenBSDtards are. Thanks for calling out the openbsdtards for changing terms so that they can fit their narrative. I appreciate the support.
>>
>>59326454
You're retarded. Openbsds way has no security issues, unless your mouse has a gps chip in it.

>>59326470
Surprise I don't even use BSD. I been posting on windows the whole time. You don't even need to be on the botnet the botnet has come to you and is recording everything you do along with what I do.
