Sometimes people ask me why I like #OpenBSD so much.

Over the weekend Theo de Raadt the founder of the whole project emailed me and my PhD student to say he liked our paper (and that it was 95% correct). We have never interacted with him before and the paper was published in a tiny workshop and on arXiv. He just stumbled on it.

The (open access) version of the paper is here, if anyone cares. Turns out OpenBSD gets a lot more use of its sandboxing mechanisms in its packages than other OSs (and maybe theres a reason for that…)

@goblin As someone whose entire tech path was heavily shaped by how OpenBSD happened to be the only UN*X teen xe could get working on a Centris 650, this story could not be more endearing. Thank you.
