Sandboxing DLL Code
Firefox uses that to isolate third party libraries right now, like i.e. font rendering. It uses a framework called RLBox: https://github.com/PLSysSec/rlbox.

WebAssembly and Back Again: Fine-Grained Sandboxing in Firefox 95
https://github.com/PLSysSec/rlbox_sandboxing_api/blob/master...
Seems like it could get a bit verbose when used all over the place but I’m not really used to the C++ world. Regardless I’m happy to see the effort being made beyond process isolation and OS capabilities.

Tailscale Is Pretty Useful
Does anyone have some insight why installing security/tailscale on freebsd is installing security/ca_root_nss which contains a very scary message?

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
.NET Core is available for Debian, you just have to add Microsoft's APT source [1].
Fedora [2], Ubuntu [3], and FreeBSD [4] build .NET from source themselves. A lot of work has been done to make it possible to build .NET from source [5] without closed source components, so it might just be a matter of someone being motivated to create the package for Debian.

An Open Letter to the FreeBSD Foundation, Core Team, Committers, and Community
Agreed.
I don't think the PR reviewer is calling the author in the example, and provided useful info, pointing out the relevant example.
Also, the author notes:
> The very first comment in the thread from a reviewer was simply only one word: “Why?” - That’s it, just one word. Why did I do this? Why work with such old hardware? Why is the sky blue? How the hell am I to know the context of what they’re referring to when asking a one-worded question?
Its clear from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189#discussion... that the author is asking why is this line needed, something a PR author should always be able to justify.

I want to move from linux to bsd
Say you really want to pin to Apache 2.5.54. Create a new empty repo, add a www/apache24 dir, and copy the files from that version of the ports tree into it.

chromium disappeared from packages?
As for announcements: how would this information be delivered to you? :) Major breakages that impact users are expected to tracked in Ports (not pkgs) through review of /usr/ports/CHANGES and /usr/ports/UPDATING. If a port gets renamed (moved), you'll find it mentioned there, or possibly in /usr/ports/MOVED (not human-readable). You can view those on the GitHub mirror if you wish, since not everyone builds from Ports: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports
What are some alternatives?
