  1. PFFW

    PF Firewall on OpenBSD

    It does the job great with the default install as long as you're comfortable with the console but if you're talking something with a web interface like what pfsense/opnsense on freebsd, there was one out of Sweden I think it was for a while that fizzled out called securityrouter. Nowadays these are what I've seen (But not tested):

  4. foundation-web

    Foundation Web Pages

    > The openbsd foundation raised around 5 million, half of which has been spent.

    Citation needed, they've raised nowhere near that amount.

  5. linux

    Linux kernel source tree

    > The idea behind Pledge/Unveil was first in Landlock also.

    This is so obviously, and verifiably untrue, that it's almost funny. The patch series and kernel commit adding Landlock to the Linux kernel even references OpenBSD pledge(2)/unveil(2).

  6. llvm-project

    The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies.

    Have been is the right word.

    This thread keeps having its goal posts moved around, first is was an example, then got the spotlight of being only about clang, then I pointed out about Apple/Google original purposes, then it was something else, and yet another one.

    Just head off to /r/cpp that is where hunches are coming from.

    Have you at very least filtered by C++ clang only related contributions instead of LLVM ones?

    Most likely not, only clicked here https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/graphs/contributors and came right away to reply.

  7. InfluxDB
