No, you ARE making a claim, and that claim is bullshit. Certain knowledge is required to understand what I wrote and why it makes sense. And it does make sense, which is why other people were able to meaningfully respond to what I wrote.

It's fine that it doesn't make sense to YOU, but you shouldn't confuse that with it not making sense objectively, which it does.

OpenBSD doesn't literally ONLY try to audit bugs, but it is the bulk of their work and they prioritize that over addin or improving mechanisms to lockdown and prevent exploitation issues.

Others can disagree that pledge or unveil are not as good as SELinux, but they would be wrong. It isn't a subjective issue, and you would have to be rather ignorant of the differences to insist it is. SELinux removes the concept of an all powerful root user, and can grant every process the specific minimum access it needs. Pledge and unveil don't come close to offering anything like that.

Then you say I'm not making a point...even though you clearly here disagree with the point I supposedly didn't make. Are you by chance on the spectrum? Just trying to understand your issues with what I wrote, it's quite odd.

I'm not interested to explain anything further as I don't think it would be productive in proportion to the effort I would have to expend. I'm mainly just curious to see where this goes at this point.

Ah, I see you just want to get into a fight.

You've got the wrong guy, ace. Have a good day.

Not trying to fight at all, but no time for someone that has such trouble comprehending something and then blames the author instead of being able to self-reflect.

Best of luck to you in life, Champ.
