Why are the Linux folks freaking out over systemd when they've got way bigger problems already like glibc, ALSA, GCC and OpenSSL?
>>
To this day, Linux doesn't have any half-decent random number generation system, or even any security mitigations whatsoever. Instead of fixing what isn't broken, the systemd developers should be addressing those more urgent issues.
>>

because clang, musl, and libreSSL/boringSSL don't exist

Come back when you are 18, little kid

That's what compilers are for. Also, citations needed.

What the fuck are you doing in a tech board, junior?

Shilling systemd won't buy you a sandwich.

Becasue freetards get overly vocal about topic they barely understand but have "political" implications, it's not about quality or features it's about protecting Stallman's inflated ego.
>>
>>54692847

Why is it the systemd developer's job to do what kernel developers are supposed to be doing? If Linus pulls his head out of his ass in regards to security maybe we can get Grsecurity into mainline.
>>
>>54693127
Keep that shit off the kernel.

Also, fuck off shills. Go suck Poettering's dick somewhere else.
>>
>>54692971
>Not an OS for children
Apparently it is, if it doesn't come with mitigations out of the box.

>That's what compilers are for.
The only compiler which can compile the kernel is GCC, which is tremendously slow. Tell me how that is feasible on a production environment or in large scale deployments.

You're the kid here.
>>
>>54693186
If you cannot harden security of your own OS and expect modules to be pre loaded for you just go use windows or OSX like the kid you are.

Also on large scale deployments people don't use shit hardware
>>
>>54693233

You're also a kid if you don't understand the security implications of having to install extra software like a compiler in production servers. You should just stop posting to stop embarrassing yourself.
>>
>>54693166

I say anything positive or negative about Lennart Poettering idiot.

Please tell me why Grsecurity is shit. Kernel developers constantly (badly) copy Grsecurity features without giving any credit to spender et al.
>>
>>54693259
Good production servers are built from the scratch with only specified kernel boot params to reduce attack surface. Not that a clueless kid would understand. you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about, apparently
>>
>>54693284

Linux kernel developers get away with stealing code all the time because they got the big fat jewish lawyers of the FSF and the Linux foundation to protect them.
>>
>>54692847
>even any security mitigations whatsoever.

What the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>54693298

That literally never happens. You're an obvious gentoofag talking out of your ass.
>>
>>54693303

It's not about *stealing* anything, Grsecurity is free software. It's about copying ideas and techniques without properly understanding them or doing them properly, or giving credit which is simple courtesy.
>>
>>54693334
wew lad hahahahahaa didn't realise you were baiting all this time
>>
>>54693186
You only have to compile the shit once. I'm not sure why GCC being slow has anything to do with whether or not anything is suitable for large scale deployments.
