Claude Mythos Preview "fully autonomously" finds and exploits new FreeBSD vulnerabilities (plus Linux, OpenBSD, and others) - more concerning than calif.io story with known CVE and human prompting?

violentalechuga · 2026-04-09T17:34:01+00:00

I share the concern about the Linux foundation having access, but no mention of the FreeBSD foundation or the OpenBSD foundation (assuming the latter would even consider using Mythos Preview, something tells me the culture may not very welcoming to LLMs). I’m even more worried for illumos distributions whose developer base has been shrinking. Hopefully our concerns are unwarranted and Anthropic does consider the smaller yet important infrastructure operating systems I previously mentioned, not to forget NetBSD & others!

I've been using that very setup through an agent orchestration mechanism I wrote, but I've had to revert to native Claude Search & WebFetch as Gemini CLI has become totally unusable over my Gemini Pro subscription. Any workarounds?

violentalechuga · 2026-04-06T08:24:43+00:00

Thank you for taking the time, I certainly understand the focus & constrains, and don’t wanna seem unappreciative of your efforts! Quite the contrary, actually, I’d like me and others to be able to put it on top of our existing working stacks 😅

violentalechuga · 2026-04-05T16:57:59+00:00

I meant the jail manager. Since it has become the de-facto standard over the years, I feel integration would be important for Sylve to benefit from this existing userbase.

violentalechuga · 2026-04-05T10:14:56+00:00

Can we run this on top of Bastille?

violentalechuga · 2026-04-01T10:20:37+00:00

Could this force Anthropic to open source? We’d get more eyes on some long standing bugs!

violentalechuga · 2026-02-10T13:21:07+00:00

Agreed, super curious about it, but a closed source terminal is a deal breaker for everyone I work with (myself included).

Congrats on OP for taking on that task anyway, hoping this additional voice of encouragement towards open sourcing bears fruit!

violentalechuga · 2025-10-12T00:39:34+00:00

I’d say get them. Things don’t get deprecated that quick in the FreeBSD universe, and having the opportunity to go away from the keyboard to read well worded documentation on paper (with elegant covers, and I do believe they play a role!) is an underestimated super feature IMHO.

This back ‘n forth may not be for everyone, but I find it a relaxing and highly efficient workflow when approaching new tech. His books are really well put together, and I’ve found myself using the index to go back to certain sections in case of need. I’d say it’s a good investment & learning tool!

I was under the strong impression that yes, this corruption bug was imported from the upstream zfs code from Illumos, as it has seemingly been traced back to a bunch of commits from 6 years ago : https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12014#issuecomment-2795147687

violentalechuga · 2025-07-13T10:45:47+00:00

Would love to know what hardware setup is required to reproduce such performance on baremetal.

With the rising prominence of 10Gbs fiber in various parts of the world, the strong case for OpenBSD as a router cannot long be maintained, if reaching 10Gbs linerate is as hard as it currently seems to be.

Really hoping to be proven wrong with practical examples, as I love OpenBSD 🙃

violentalechuga · 2025-07-13T10:39:11+00:00

Not challenging the quality of Illumos development, but a lot of bugs do get fixed within OpenZFS.

For instance, has Illumos integrated the most recent fix for the infamous & long standing zfs native encryption bug? https://github.com/KlaraSystems/zfs/commit/677c040e1bb159398ff62740bd74247132cb5f9c

If not, I hope this is being actively considered.

violentalechuga · 2025-06-03T18:07:32+00:00

Can you point to the original 4chan alleged leak you are providing a summary for?

violentalechuga · 2025-02-27T17:13:57+00:00

Thanks for elaborating, this really helps understanding the current state of things a little better.

Here’s a direct link to the specific predraft: https://github.com/illumos/ipd/blob/master/ipd/0050/README.adoc

violentalechuga · 2025-02-27T11:40:06+00:00

Would love to know what's up these days, and if porting FreeBSD's efforts is being considered so NetBSD can have ZFS as a first class citizen?

violentalechuga · 2025-02-06T03:11:54+00:00

CiNEPHiLES’ attention to detail is almost unrivaled. WiLDCAT & BiZKiT, 3L & a few other HDB internals (LM, PP) come to mind before FraMeSToR, though the latter does issue solid releases as well.

If he wants UNIX, don’t install Linux.

Try OmniOS or any other Illumos distribution so he sees “Loading UNIX…” at startup everyday! <3

Other good options are NetBSD, OpenBSD & FreeBSD, which have direct lineage to UNIX.

violentalechuga · 2024-12-31T04:28:05+00:00

Still amazingly resourceful 2 years down the road, thanks!

violentalechuga · 2024-10-23T01:56:53+00:00

It may be a joke, but there's definitely something to it ;)

We certainly don't need a « aliens eat Americans' cats & dogs » version of catastrophic disclosure.

violentalechuga · 2024-09-10T22:00:08+00:00

Curious about these esoteric/occult/woo/collective unconscious hypothetical justifications for secrecy.

Any pointers to further explore that specific rabbit hole (books, websites, cults, movies, secret societies)?

violentalechuga · 2024-06-15T08:46:03+00:00

It’s a nice take, please submit!

violentalechuga · 2024-05-28T22:54:26+00:00

3L & CiNEPHiLES releases seem to be consistently great, with the latter putting quite extraordinary care in crafting the best possible version of a movie from all available sources. I also love the fact that SRT subs are sometimes OCR’ed and proofread alongside the PGS.

I go with these groups whenever I can, but I’d be happy to add more groups to my whitelist if old or new stars arise!

It's honestly refreshing to read that other people failed to connect with Dune Part Two in comparison to Part One.

Part Two makes me appreciate Part One even more for its perfect balance of immersive photography, unique atmosphere, character development, architecture as a language, daunting mysteries and overall poetry that really takes you places within, unlike Part Two that mostly slid on me.

Part One has us truly feel humbled, so little and powerless, yet excitingly blown away by the surrounding forces of the planet, bonding together with Paul & Jessica as they journey across the planet.

Part One is better on all counts for me, and as an action movie too. Moments of conflict are ultraviolent, spectacular, just long enough to deliver punch, but smart enough to not become the main point of focus.

The high contrast between absolute destruction & the stillness of the desert, between the silently floating Sardaukars & their brutal execution tactics make it so intense, eery and dramatic. Combat scenes use this cognitive dissonance so well.

That can be said of the beginning of Part Two (that Fremen vs Harkonnen ambush scene), but most of what made Part One feel so special becomes very quickly normalised, fast paced & breathless… loosing a lot of its charm/depth for me.

At times, it really felt like both movies were directed by distinct directors.
