Most of the highly-publicized security vulnerabilities in #Linux these days, including the recent kernel TCP RCE, are the result of races and/or memory corruption. If #BSD were to catch on, all those AI bug-finding bots would be turned on the BSDs…which are written in C. There's probably plenty of vulnerabilities there too. Perhaps fewer than Linux, since Linux is so jam-packed with enterprise features and weird optimizations, but still… 😬 Are #NetBSD and #OpenBSD prepared for this?

    @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org the nice thing about the BSDs, far more compact, with many options for vetted code trees with only security patches through the decades, not layers and layers of Fordite slop that has haunted Linux userspace since Redhat.
