I like the filename

grsec would've attempted to justify it with something else, I'm sure. As to OP's inquiry and the inquries of

many anons, it's unlikely we'll get something as comprehensive as grsecurity kernel patches released to

the public. A lot of it was funded by e-commerce and financial companies who have to pass through compl-

iance tests every year

Supposedly grsec's code was awful from every perspective except muh security and needed major rewrites for each kernel release, which is why Linus never merged their patches and no one ports their pre-shoah patches to newer kernels.

If these customers so interested in security and insist on a unixlike OS, why don't they just throw shekels at OpenBSD? At least they'd be paying for something secure by design instead of an intentional hackjob designed to part you from your money.

So Alpine and other grsec-dependent distros BTFO?

>>1022209 (OP)

Unlikely. They're expensive, people who have access are under contract not to distribute them, and if they do, they're risking losing access to grsec. Nobody's going to put their business at risk for muh freedom.

>Alpine

>grsec-dependant

Alpine dropped its grsec patches back in June and it's still more secure than the average Linux distro.

>>1022255

I'd imagine it would be easier for them to patch their kernels and deal with issues than use a new OS vendor entirely.

If their code was as bad as Linus and co said it was, then I would imagine that might also have to deal with why we don't have

grsec patches anymore. Maybe it was just so unmaintanable for a public release that they just downsized to only dealing with paying

customers.

>>1022293

iirc, their last release that was mostly grsec hardening was back in mid 2017, so when grsec just dropped the ball. Grsec niggers got

mad that they even did that, however.

They're in that one github repository.

If you can't keep women and niggers away from your software then you can't call it secure.
