Seems that just rewriting stuff in 'memory safe' Rust does not change anything when it comes to security.

They could rewrite it in COBOL and they would face the same issues.

That is why rewriting stuff just for the sake of rewriting it is so brain fucking dead ...

I always wonder ... what the fuck for this shit is running in the background of my #FreeBSD desktop based on Openbox/Tint2/Dzen2/... setup.

Everytime I kill them all with '-9' option ... nothing changes and everything still works.

Want to try #smolBSD in no time without building, fetching, or even reading the doc?

$ curl -fsSL -o- smolbsd.org/sh|sh

No root needed, only qemu. It should work on Linux amd64, arm64, and macOS.
This will fire up a NetBSD rescue image with minimal tools!
