GRSecurity Kernel Patch?

Sadly, there's been zero news outside of the immediate months following closing of releases.

It actually might be closer to 225,000. I read both numbers from lwn.net

If GRSec is such an excellent patch, why is it such a bitch to port to each new kernel and how come every distro previously using it (including security-focused ones like Alpine) decided it wasn't worth the hassle? This reeks of a badly-engineered hackjob people tolerated for muh features and because someone else was maintaining it.
The GRSec fags ultimately care more about squeezing shekels out of their customers than actual security. If they did, they'd either make their own unixlike OS designed around their idea of security or contribute to something like OpenBSD (assuming they could meet Theo's standards).

The fact the devs are blatantly violating GPL suggests otherwise.
They wouldn't risk that much if they had a solid product, they're clearly running some sort of scam.

That scam is "build yourselves up as the Linux security guys and make a kernel patch nobody in their right mind would maintain unless they were paid to work on it fulltime." It didn't bring in as much money as they hoped so now they've turned to jewing their customers and hoping no one switches to OpenBSD.

That's how many errors the loonix devs made that spengler had to autocorrect...

It's not a product, it was a labour of love for over 15 years.

It's no scam, it was open for more than 15 years. The guy (he and Pax (slavic fellow)) actually do know how the linux code actually interacts with x86 and x86-64 machines. Linus doesn't.... not anymore.

Trust me, I've been using their patch since the beginning.
It's only in the last year or 2 they decided they wanted money.

Probably because of the ridiculous flux of the kernel. Constantly writing and rewriting 100's of 1000s of lines of code for no reason. It's not a sane project. In the past the linux-kernel wasn't like this... but then the wage-slaves got ahold of it. When they make mistakes you have to fix them, or change the code to work with the grsec features.

The reason to use loonix is the drivers. And with GRSec the fixes regarding buffer overruns etc (which OpenBSD doesn't have yet IIRC, but even windows has now).

For 15 years it was a labour of love, no charge, no violations.
It was part of the hardened linux kernel back in the mandrake days (2000) goes way back.

Now they decided to violate the GPL and want tons of money.
And no one sues them for their additional restrictive terms...

The same reason all the distros switched to systemd: Distro maintainers are lazy idiots, not programmers. Wasn't always the case but it is now.

Does anything go on in the grsec irc channels?

Not that I know of. Most of their outward presense is kept under lock since 2017. Forum is a wasteland.

I felt if this battle was fought back in 2017, it would've had more of a chance, but most people have just accepted it. I heard of it again through a mailing list, and I assume some of the other anons also heard it from a copypasta spread there. I know it was sent to the Open and Free BSD lists.
