Sourced from thirteen subreddits, Reddit's AI-generated answers began: Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds do not actively cooperate; their relationship is often characterized by ideological differences rather than direct collaboration. While both are foundational figures in free and open-source software, their distinct philosophies and approaches have led to a separation in their work. …

Good for you! I've lost count of the number of problems with Nvidia on Linux, whereas AMD's support is simply excellent—or is becoming so… If the situation is better with FreeBSD, so much the better. On OpenBSD, it's better to have an AMD than an Nvidia!

This is my FreeBSD music collection. It consists of songs inspired by FreeBSD releases, experiments, and desktop and server experiences that have become part of everyday life. It was built using Suno AI and then tweaked and polished each one. https://interfacecraft.online/blog/2026/freebsd-music-collection/

hardware corruption?! Sometimes, errors occur when the USB connection is physically disturbed. Other times, there's no obvious explanation. I might be hands-off, with my cat nowhere near, at the time.

Port knocking is mostly a bad idea. But people keep wanting to do it, for some false sense of security. If you don't consider it a security control but a way to keep garbage out of your logs, it might be valid. In my case I'm using an old USG Pro 4 running OpenBSD as my firewall and I'd prefer to avoid writing stuff to the logs, as I'd prefer the flash not to wear out sooner than needed, definitely not thanks to background radiation on the internet. https://dgl.cx/2026/06/ssh-port-knocking-with-openbsd

I'm revisiting amd64 assembly programming and came across this [1] great post on nasm programming on Linux. Sharing this in case anyone else is looking for information on the topic. [1] https://linuxvox.com/blog/basic-yet-thorough-assembly-tutorial-linux/

Sharing this [1] link as I dive into amd64 assembly programming on OpenBSD (it really came in handy!). This [2] Reddit thread also helped me understand the elf(5) requirements for programming assembly on OpenBSD. Happy hacking!

The 6-month project is being funded by a grant from the Alpha Omega project. The funds will be used to engage FreeBSD Security Team members under fixed-term contracts to find and patch vulnerabilities. The Security Team’s access to publicly available AI models and tokens will be provided free of charge. AI will be used for vulnerability discovery and analysis only, all patches will be manually created. … In GitHub: all-projects/AI-assisted-vulnerability-discovery at main · FreeBSDFoundation/all-projects FreeBSD Receives Funding To Launch AI-Assisted Vulnerability Discovery - Phoronix discussion via https://fosstodon.org/@governa/116755744623083032 @governa@fosstodon.org FreeBSD AI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project launch | The FreeBSD Forums Cross-posted to r/freebsd in Reddit.

(06/10) ⇒ OpenBSD stories—Trojaned OpenSSH This is a story I had been considering writing for a long time, as many wrong or stupid things have been said or written at the time it happened. Being on a quite sensitive subject, I have however opted to redact a few things, especially the identity of two OpenBSD developers, as well as some IP addresses and other minor details which could help identify them. They will be referred to as dev1 and dev2 in this story. It does not matter who they are, and they really are trustworthy. http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/trojan.html Very interesting!
