BSD and GNU/Linux Replaced Microsoft in Secure Servers, All Microsoft Has Left is LLM Slop for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)
Secure Server Survey: (this month, watch the graph below)
With OpenBSD 7.7 just released there are many security aficionados out there doing upgrades, installations etc. OpenBSD, unlike Linux, has strict standards to limit the attack surface and lessen the chance of compromise by reducing bloat and carefully watching development of included packages.
But the FUD machine never rests and today we see some LLM slop from a notorious slopfarm:
Google News is amplifying that slopfarm. Nobody actually wrote it. It's just some slopfarm.
Generally speaking, the term "security" is so grossly abused that we wrote about the subject last week and we've nearly phased out this term, starting this month. Instead we speak of Confidentiality/Integrity/Availability/Authenticity.
It's clear, based on the hard data, that fewer and fewer entities (even the US government) cannot trust Microsoft to get those things right. A year ago the US government issued a strongly-worded report about Microsoft's failures. Microsoft employees had attempted to distract from that. █
