From what I understand, the latest #OpenBSD vs #Intel thing went a little bit like that:
- OpenBSD: Can we be a part of this rumored Intel bug embargo?
- Intel: No. Go away.
- OpenBSD: dev do their homework, fix FPU bug, publish patch.
- Theo (at @BSDCan): we are worried, we don't have access to info. Please help us.
- Intel: publishes official advisory: intel.com/content/www/us…
Now everybody and their dogs are going crazy over #OpenBSD developpers doing their jobs , correcting stuff and "violating"an embargo... That they were *never* a part of. Because Intel did not want them to receive information!
As far as I am concerned, Intel has only itself to blame for selling crappy CPUs for years and refusing to communicate with a team because the big $$$ is with Linux, AWS and Google.
The #OpenBSD devs stood up for their OS and for their users. More power to them.

Communication may have been handled better, but let's not forget who is to blame for this whole fiasco: Intel.

Oh, and let's not forget that Theo was greeted with "Shut the f* up" at @BSDCan.
Feel free to disagree with me, but, again, remember this: the kind of issues we are talking about here have been known for about 20 years. #Spectre #Meltdown could have been avoided if Intel had done its homework.
Do not blame the #OpenBSD messenger for something that should have been better managed by other people. End of thread.

@4corners The dogmas of the past are indeed inadequate as is the investigative work on this story. Veselnitskaya wasn’t there about Clinton donors, she was only in the US defending her client Pyotr Katsyv, after Bill Browder secretly passed dubious material to US Attorney Preet Bharara(1)
@4corners NV hired US law firm Baker Hostetler to defend Katsyv in what became a civil lawsuit, because the burden of proof is reversed and the defendants have to prove they played no part in the crime. The reasons for this become clear when the defence uncovers Browder’s role (2)
@4corners Browder had provided the entire prosecution case, accusing Katsyv, son of oligarch Denis Katsyv, with receiving a mere $800,000 form an alleged $230 million tax fraud from the Russian state, only known to Browder and co. as part of his Magnitsky story. (3) @stranahan @llama

To find out why the Charities Regulator blocked me after I commented on their Maser action v inaction on fake pro-life “charities” on Facebook, I sent an FOI and Subject Access Request. They refused FOI but I got SAR. In it were these 2 screenshots. No explanation why though? 🤔
If you’re a state agency (not a private individual) you do not get to block citizens from communicating with or about you because they say critical things or ridicule you. Foundational for healthy democracy for citizens (and mural artists) to be able to freely express opinions.
Hilariously, in their FOI refusal to explain blocking me, the Charities Regulator effectively maligned its own social media team by telling me that I'm not missing out on much; "it does not appear that the Requester has suffered any disadvantage". THE SHADE!!

#OpenBSD is great for web development. It's fast, consistent, reliable, well documented. Works great on hardware with limited resources.

disk usage:
- server (base, no packages installed) 1GB
- desktop (200 packages) 5GB

memory usage:
- server 200-400MB
- desktop 2-4GB
Memory: 75M/533M
xenodm + cwm + xterm + httpd

Right after reboot.
With all my web dev environment running:

... + firefox + tmux + vi

Memory: 634M/1306M

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.
