@mort Are you listening to yourself? The system which reports fewer security issues is more secure? Really? Then you should switch to #OpenBSD, because they hide their security errors best!

@mcepl That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if there are enough exploitable vulnerabilities in Linux to fix a hundred of them every single day consistently, clearly it's not a very secure operating system

If there's not enough exploitable vulnerabilities to do that but they're publishing a hundred CVEs per day regardless, that's just a DDOS attack against a deeply imperfect yet useful vulnerability reporting system

@mort

And yet until yesterday you were using it happily persuaded that it is secure, and if Greg took over FreeBSD and start reporting CVEs on it, you would be persuaded that it is insecure as well? It is just reporting!

@mcepl Well I knew there were issues, nothing is perfect, but I was under the impression that it was secure enough that you couldn't fix a hundred exploitable vilnerabilities per day and still go strong a month later, yeah.

@mcepl If FreeBSD started publishing a hundred CVEs about exploitable vulnerabilities per day I would have the same reaction to that

Have you watched https://youtu.be/HeeoTE9jLjM ?

@mcepl Maybe, I can't recall and I don't think it's very relevant.
