Jack Dorsey followed Mastodon on Twitter a month ago so it's not like he doesn't know Mastodon exists, take from that what you will

"Twitter、分散型SNSのオープン規格策定に出資。社外に独立チームを編成"

"将来の分散型ソーシャルメディアの原型として発展させてゆくに足る既存の分散型標準技術を見つけるか、値するものがなかった場合、みずから標準規格を作る"

Heads up: There's a couple important security fixes for #OpenBSD 6.5/6.6 today, don't forget to syspatch(8)

This work has been committed! #OpenBSD now requires that system calls be in pre-registered regions (by the kernel or ld.so), in addition to the pre-existing check that syscalls be in un-writable memory. ​

deraadt@ changed lib/libc/sys: Document msyscall(2): ld.so can use this (once only) to tell the kernel where libc.so's text segment is, thereby allowing invocation of system calls from that region. An upcoming change will kill the process if a system call is invoked from addresses not explicitly permitted.
