I don't think its power is comparable to research unix :)

I want to know what others government collect (both Europe and Asia)

And is the iris scan visible? I have just had my card, I don't saw the polices do any iris scan.

So when it comes to kernel modifications, I’m old school…

what I actually need is understanding the kernel.

At least process, memory management, ipc, handling device, etc.. Reading "The design and implementation of the 4.4BSD operating system", but I think I need to read something before reading that book.

What feature?????

I mean Chimera is using FreeBSD userland, and they expressed why GNU coreutils used by most distro have "problem". Since we are talking about BSD. (OpenBSD's userland is less in feature and it is cleaner)

(so that's bring an advantage in security lol)

While coreutils may seem lightweight enough to not cause any issues already, there are some specific reasons the system uses a BSD-derived userland. The primary one is probably that the code of the BSD versions is overall much cleaner and easier to read. There are no cursed components such as gnulib, the codebase is leaner, and more aligned with the project’s goals.

+1, but OpenBSD can enforce security (Linux have landlock, *san, ACL, MAC but cannot enforce them, while OpenBSD doesn't but can enforce pledge and unveil and even for some ports like chromium and firefox)

But see Chimera Linux.

FreeBSD's boot speed is just behind arch a little bit (on HDD).

But Windows 8 (with fast startup) on an core 2 duo machine with 1G of RAM boot faster than any debian, ubuntu. (the boot speed decrease when you upgrade hardware lol :) )

Your data is valuable. And that’s exactly why you should keep it safe by using privacy-focused services.

Not by using privacy-focused services, but by not letting the data to reside on others' hard disk.

!!!

Do you think installing and start using privacy-tool-of-week would improve your privacy?! Do you think proton mail is trustworthy?

You are not a victim of privacy community but your own hobbyist privacy obsession

Wasted 2023 securing the system and learned nothing. And racing on privacy tools does not gain you "practical" privacy.

a question for you: Did the privacy race actually helped you learn C? Understand Linux? Or just "You will not believe this, but Linux and Windows are almost identical today"

and you are not one bit superior to others for using BSD over Linux.

Technically agreed, but what I'm superior is: When I switch to OpenBSD, my security & privacy race ended.

WinRAR is objectively superior to 7-Zip as far as data preservation and archival capabilities go, while 7-Zip is a little bit ahead on compression ratio.

Go on arguing winrar is not open source like you did for other softwares? So it contain backdoor?

Badly licensed software can't be used legally. BKAV antivirus embedded winrar in the 2000s, but have to remove it when a guy noticed. And now it cannot decompress .rar files to scan for malware.

I'm not recommending proprietary.

I'm clarifying about the benefit of free software: The most important is permission to audit, fix bugs, sandbox it with pledge(2) and unveil(2), NOT "to make sure the software doesn't carry malware".

And I'm alarming: You guys are racing on "open source" but don't actually audit the source code. Because you guys can't even code and do not intend to become experts. So the benefit that you guys think the most important become useless. Thankfully there are experts in your community to audit and fork whenever they want.

And an opensource software can quickly lose the trust of the community and get replaced

(Such small open source project shouldn't care if they want to make quick money :) ) I think they wouldn't care if they have malicious intention

Capitalist governments are against people. They serve fake democracy, when the democracy is used by workers to fight for their rights, capitalist governments become fascist.

Fascism is defined in History for grade 8 (Viet Nam): The highest dictatorship of capitalism and imperialism, do everything to remove human rights and cause war.

The economy is currently down, and all high-capitalist governments (US, most developed Europe) is turning into fascism. What you post is an evidence of them turning into fascism.
