Honest opinion? The person I was replying to stated a silly toxic attack, my reply was perhaps not tonal superior as it should have been, but it was not out of order considering the context.

Garrett seems to believe Lockdown without Secure Boot is a "security theater". I would have LOVED if they dragged the OpenBSD security team along with Theo De Raadt in that discussion to comment on that stance; since OpenBSD has securelevel(7) which is similar to this Lockdown. The thing is that there is zero need of having Secure Boot on in OpenBSD's case.

I remember people being up in arms about Intel CPUs getting a serial number that can be queried from the OS. I also 'member the fight against Trusted Computing. Nowadays not enough people care to make a dent.

The reason it works is that everyone respects Linus because everyone trusts him. He's sometimes very blunt and occasionally offensive, but that's what has saved Linux from being "designed by committee". Linus has never dismissed ideas outright, he has sought to understand why someone wants something, even if he may reject it or, more often, say why not, but it should be done differently. For contributors and developers, the worst possible answer from Linus has always been "I'm not merging this into *my* repo. If you insist on it, fork the tree and have it your way".Last edited by jacob; 09 April 2018, 02:59 AM.
