Why do you use *BSD? Why do you use the family of *BSD you use, and not another?

I'm trying out OpenBSD because I want to try something different from Schizophrenix. I think experience with other Unix-likes will make my knowledge more general and intuitive once I get a feeling for how the system works.
And OpenBSD seems to be of the highest quality, at least when it comes to security and servers. I have an affinity for military/industrial things being used personally.

Yeah, I really didn't understand why files were where they were until I started using *BSD. Until then, it seemed like all configuration files were in random locations.. not true under *BSD.

OpenBSD's developers do have an obsession with making their code 'just right,' from a usability standpoint, coding standpoint, and famously, a security standpoint.

Additionally, OpenBSD has a lot of security features which are not implemented in other operating systems:

It's cute you carry on about how supersekure OpenBSD is without any understanding or experience of computer security.

I think SELinux is more secure. Herr fukn derrr

"Evil Maid" was a hint, oh unwise openbsd user who just proved he's a Cancer Board Owner by editing someone else's post.

"Security is a process, not a product" is the wisdom that's been the mantra of System Administrators since the 1980s. From that 'axiom' you get process-related security like 'not giving root to anyone who absolutely doesn't need it even if they're super-fucking trustworthy.

Anyone with half a brain and has been Computa for more than 3 months will witness how all the massive security failures of computer systems are 90% because an idiot believed SOFTWARE IS MAGIC.

So… how's it like having an OpenBSD machine that now remote rootable by using DRAM hammering?

What's it like to assume everyone else is an idiot and no one can get on your level?

OpenBSD never claimed to protect you from your own stupidity, they have the same mantra, they simply tout a secure by default system.

Why is does every OpenBSD rant start with arguments OpenBSD has never made?

I use OpenBSD for general use on my laptop.

I use FreeBSD variants for work, namely FreeNAS and PFSense.

OpenBSD because laptop support is fantastic and is the closest to my ideal OS while still being workable.

FreeNAS because I maintain backups as an MSP and my boss wants to be able to do basic maintenance, even be able to follow a document on basic setup.

PFSense for the same reasons, but they're running as a firewall, they do web filtering, serve as a VPN and AV scanning.

Ideally I'd just use OpenBSD for the firewalls plus FreeBSD for storage.

I might try out DragonflyBSD for storage but I'd want to be better at programming before I try.

Cool story, bro.
