It’s worth also mentioning that as far as I am aware the OpenBSD folks also almost universally eat their own dog food. Most of not all the developers run -current. The bleeding edge. So they can find and fix any issues. I’m not sure how many of the other developers for FreeBSD or NetBSD do that.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression certain sec folks objected to a lot of his patches because they just are not sold on if ASLR really adds any benefit. Or any benefit vs the complexity it adds. Correct me if I’m wrong. I know Theo has bought into it. I just recall in FreeBSD it wasn’t accepted if it really fixes anything.

No I said what I was trying to say. Many countries not in NATO rely on the US for their security and defense. NATO has nothing to do with my statement.

Sweden has a national debt of 42% of its GDP. You’re free to call that healthy if you wish but that’s redlining to most of us.

And again they also have no defense costs except toys to play with because the US pays for their defense.

So yeah.

That’s not quite accurate. They also have the US paying largely for their defense needs. That saves them a ton of money.

Socialism ends this way every. Single. Time. “If only socialism was implemented correctly for a change!” The snowflakes chant. Ignoring history. Implementing more and more socialist programs at home. Sigh.
