New BSDCan Posted: Sandbox Your Program Using FreeBSD's Capsicum By Jake Freeland

lemmy.sdf.orgNew BSDCan Posted: Sandbox Your Program Using FreeBSD's Capsicum By Jake Freeland - SDF ChatterA new BSDCan video has been posted: Sandbox Your Program Using FreeBSD’s Capsicum By Jake Freeland https://youtu.be/Ne4l5U_ETAw [https://youtu.be/Ne4l5U_ETAw] With security vulnerabilities rapidly rising each year, program security is more important than ever. One solution to keeping your program from being the victim of the next big CVE is FreeBSD’s Capsicum. Originally developed at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, Capsicum is a lightweight capability and sandbox framework built into the FreeBSD base system. It is designed around the principle of least privilege - where programs only have access to resources that are required for operation. This talk will follow my blog post, which outlines the process of Capsicumization, or sandboxing your program using Capsicum. I will cover capability violation detection, restructuring existing programs for Capsicum, and filesystem/networking access inside of the capability sandbox. Recent Capsicumization efforts in the FreeBSD base system and the future of Capsicum will also be discussed. #runbsd #freebsd #sandbox

Oof. Honestly, in my experience (which is admittedly very, very brief), S3 suspend isn't one of #FreeBSD's strong points. Follow the handbook, as it's pretty great, but allow for much longer resume times than you're used to, up to 30 seconds.

Excited about your endeavour, though, please let me know how it goes. Ask #fedi (#AskFedi) if you run into any problems, and if you aren't able to find help here, I'm sure @justine / @justine would know where to ask. She's one of the awesome #FreeBSD daily-drivers on here, and I love to see #BSD folks properly ["dog-fooding"] it on the desktop.

How can I improve the performance of OpenBSD?

lemmy.ca/post/48703604

lemmy.caHow can I improve the performance of OpenBSD? - Lemmy.caSo, I installed OpenBSD on my ThinkPad T400 a few weeks ago. It was going okay, but then a job came up that required Windows. I do not run Windows on any of my devices due to a galaxy of reasons, but i keep an old hard drive handy with Tiny10 that I can shove into a laptop when needed (a rare occurrence). Anyway, I noticed that somehow, Tiny10 actually ran considerably better than OpenBSD on this particular machine, despite also using a hard drive rather than an SSD. Is there any way i could increase the performance of OpenBSD on my ThinkPad? ::: spoiler Specifications * CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 * GPU : Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset * RAM: ~8GB * Disk: 240GB SATA SSD :::

I run a bunch of machines at home and.. automating stuff is all well and good, but.. honestly? I prefer to set things up by hand when i do home malarkey because then i remember where the sharp edges are (both literally and figuratively) and how to fix (my) shit. #Win #Lin #BSD
