> I'd love to try Haiku or BSD one day soon. What motivates people to invest in these very niche systems? My interest in FreeBSD began about 12 years ago, when a friend of mine told me about the BSD operating systems and he said that the one he was using was very secure (OpenBSD) and that it had good documentation and that these BSD operating systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others) are each developed "as a whole", as…

HN discussiontracexec uses BPF to some extent, but probably not in the way you guessed. it uses ptrace to do most of the work and use seccomp-bpf to speed it up. Using eBPF to do the syscall filtering requires root, so that's a reason for me to choose ptrace. And credits to the strace developers: https://pchaigno.github.io/strace/2019/10/02/introducing-str...
