Thanks. Daniel Micay’s concerns (from 2017?) stand valid, but Scudo’s designed to be a mitigation not a solution, and hence the trade-offs to not cause untoward userspace performance regression. Though, HM’s philosophy is in line with Micay’s other work (disabling optimization to share memory regions from Zygote among all user apps, as one example).
That said, I reckon Micay would be the first to admit that memory safety must come from the runtime/language (like Rust or Zig) instead of malloc libs (incl HM) and retrofitting safety features in the compiler toolchain (MSan, ASan, UBSan, IntSan, CFI, Stack Canaries, etc).
I just downloaded the most recent version of OpenBSD and the full download is ONLY 697MB… less than 700MB for the full version.
With such a small download I’d be concerned with which Apps it comes with Curie… even if you can get OpenBSD running the way you want it may not have the Apps that you need.
I’m just thinking it’ll just be a headache for you in the long term.
Can I not install more? And I have been using it short term, and its been kinda fine. What do you personally use?
