- Linux Accidentally Left Legacy I/O & Memory Handlers Open In Kernel Lockdown Mode6 August 2026, 1:50 pm
For nearly the past decade has been the kernel lockdown mode for tightening up kernel access from user-space such as when UEFI Secure Boot is enabled. The kernel lockdown mode restricts PCI BAR access, no writing to /dev/mem, and other restrictions so user-space can't can't modify the running kernel or access sensitive kernel memory. An oversight has allowed legacy I/O and memory interfaces via sysfs to remain open in lockdown mode, but a fix is on the way......

- How the controller-runtime Cache Actually Works, and Why Your Controller Does Not Crash the API Server29 July 2026, 6:00 pm
This article has been revised since it was first published, to correct several significant technical inaccuracies in the original text.
Kubernetes has long been the default platform for distributed workloads, and writing your own
controller for it is now a matter of a few hours. The common path — Golang, using kubebuilder on top of
controller-runtime — gives you a project scaffold, types, and a reconciler. For typical
scenarios that is more than enough. But as soon as load grows or the con...
- Building a Custom Metrics Exporter for Kubernetes14 July 2026, 6:00 pm
Kubernetes ships with built-in awareness of CPU and memory, but most
real-world scaling decisions depend on signals that live entirely outside
that narrow window: how many messages are waiting in a queue, how long
the last batch job took, how many active WebSocket connections a pod is
holding. When the built-in metrics are not enough, a metrics exporter
bridges that gap.
This post walks through writing one from scratch, packaging it as a
container, and wiring it into a cluster so that Prometheus...

AI has really changed the game around software development.
More people are leveraging AI than ever to contribute patches to projects they use.
To me, this is a good thing as more folks will contribute patches rather than fork or not fix them.
The main problem is that AI has made generating code fast but there has been very little improvement in maintaining code bases.
In this post, we will highlight the ways the Kubernetes community is adapting to the world of AI assisted coding.

Almost every backend eventually needs to run code on a schedule. Send the invoice at midnight. Retry the failed payment in five minutes. Generate the weekly report every Monday at 7 AM. Clean up expired sessions every hour.
On one server, this is easy. You write a cron line and move on. The trouble starts when one server becomes ten. Now the same cron line lives on every box, so the invoice job fires ten times instead of once. Move the cron to a single “scheduler” box, and that box becomes a... 
- How RAG Cuts Hallucinations in Generative AI Chatbots6 August 2026, 6:00 pm
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) reduces hallucinations in generative AI chatbots by grounding each response in retrieved source data instead of relying only on what the model learned during training. Before the model writes a reply, the system fetches relevant passages from a trusted knowledge store and passes them in as context. The model then answers from that evidence, which shrinks the room it has to invent facts.
This article looks at why hallucinations happen at the token level, how a...

Then the search form grows, filters multiply, and nested criteria appear. Since using GET means placing the query inside the URI, a length limit problem emerges. Worse, placing sensitive query values in the URI increases the chance of exposure through access logs, browser history, proxies, and monitoring systems. Because the HTTP protocol does not forbid it, sending a body with GET may look like a way out, but building your design on behavior the standards leave undefined is not a recommended pr...

In general, a developer is aware of which services depend on each other (the Checkout Service depends upon the Payment API), the database or technology stack being used by the dependent services (the Payment API utilizes PostgreSQL), and wh... 
- AI-Assisted Development Without Chaos6 August 2026, 1:00 pm
AI Accelerates Development, But Governance Determines Whether It Reaches Production
Over the last two or three years, I’ve watched AI-assisted development move through distinct phases. First, general-purpose chat assistants like ChatGPT as a thinking partner. Then AI completions embedded in the IDE. Then, toward the end of 2025, the frontier agentic coding models arrived, and agentic development took a real leap in quality: harnesses, orchestrated agents, raw velocity.
What came next is the pa... 
- Orchestrating Trusted Environments: Securing Untrusted Code Execution With Docker and GKE Agent Sandbox6 August 2026, 12:00 pm
Building agentic AI systems fundamentally changes how we handle application security. We are no longer just securing our own code. We are securing our infrastructure against code written dynamically by an LLM and executed on the fly. When building a multi-tenant AI platform, allowing an agent to run arbitrary scripts is a massive escape vector waiting to happen.
Google recently made the GKE Agent Sandbox generally available on their custom Arm-based Axion N4A instances. This gives us a highly... 
- Docker Containers Don’t Know Your Model Is Still Loading5 August 2026, 7:00 pm
It was a Friday at 4:50 pm, the worst possible time for anything to go sideways when marketing flipped on a new AI summarization feature for the whole user base instead of the 5% rollout we'd agreed on. Traffic to our LLM service doubled in about four minutes. The autoscaler did exactly what it was told: it spun up three new replicas. What it didn't account for is that each replica needed almost three minutes just to pull a 14GB checkpoint and warm up CUDA kernels before it could answer a single...
- Practical QA Workflow Showing How Teams Integrate LLM Testing into Real CI/CD Pipelines5 August 2026, 6:00 pm
Generative artificial intelligence introduces unprecedented unpredictability into software development pipelines. Traditional software returns predictable outputs for exact inputs. Large language models generate varied responses for the exact same prompt.
QA teams face a massive challenge scaling quality checks for these probabilistic systems. Manual validation falls short during fast deployment cycles. Implementing LLM testing in CI/CD has become mandatory for any modern engineering team...
- Azure CTO Pastes Doom Into Paint One Frame At a Time6 August 2026, 9:00 pm
Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich used Claude to build a gloriously impractical setup that runs Doom in the background and pastes each rendered frame into Microsoft Paint through the Windows clipboard. The project is referred to as "DoomPaint" or "MS Paint Doom" on GitHub. The Register reports: To be clear, Microsoft Paint isn't doing anything other than serving as a place to paste from the game. [...] ViZDoom runs the Doom .wad file and renders it headlessly. Each frame is passed through the... 
- OpenAI's Models Shared Hacking Tips On a Secret Messaging Board Before Hugging Face Breach6 August 2026, 8:00 pm
OpenAI researchers say multiple AI agents secretly created an internal message board to share hacking techniques, eventually finding ways around restrictions, exploiting a zero-day, and helping two models breach Hugging Face without human prompting. "This is a pivotal moment both for our company as well as the AI industry as a whole," Michael Dalton, one of the AI-maker's researchers, said during a presentation at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Politico reports: Dal... 
- The US Government's Mario, Pokemon and Naruto Meme Posting Could Damage These Franchises, Japanese Officials Warn6 August 2026, 7:00 pm
Japanese officials have repeatedly asked the Trump administration to stop using characters from franchises such as Mario, Pokemon, and Naruto in unauthorized government memes and pro-war videos, warning that the posts could damage the intellectual property involved. IGN reports: Official US government social media accounts, including The White House's X account, have posted various memes and videos using characters from popular Japanese anime and games over the past year. Japan's Ministry of For... 
- FCC Kills TV Ownership Cap, Claiming Authority Over Limit Set By Congress6 August 2026, 6:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The Federal Communications Commission voted 2-1 today to eliminate the National Television Ownership Rule, claiming authority to repeal a limit that was set by Congress over 20 years ago. The rule prohibits any single broadcast station owner from reaching more than 39 percent of all TV households in the US. Under Chairman Brendan Carr, the FCC is replacing the rule with a "case-by-case review" of each proposed merger.
"This will empower th... 
- Times Magazine Now Serves Ads That Only AI Chatbots Can See6 August 2026, 5:00 pm
Longtime Slashdot reader mccalli writes: Times Magazine has started serving adverts with "brand messages" to AI crawlers, which are not part of its main page. The aim seems to be to influence chatbots to talk about the brand offerings in a positive light that can't be traced back to the actual page. Notably, they've excluded Google chatbots from this, likely because Google penalizes companies that show different search offerings to its bots versus actual human visitors. "Maybe it's more importan...

And both want to be the EV that finally convinces Filipino families to ditch gasoline forever.The Tesla Model Y L landed at ₱2,849,000. The BYD Tang EV has been here since 2023 at ₱3,321,000. That’s a ₱472,000 gap — in Tesla’s favor — which is not the pricing dynamic most people expected. The world’s ...
- I Emailed Python’s Creator in 2007. The Language Now Runs the World.23 April 2026, 6:15 am
In August 2007, a few weeks after launching this site, I did something that still surprises me when I think about it: I emailed Guido van Rossum — the creator of Python and the language’s self-titled “Benevolent Dictator For Life” — to ask for advice on starting a Python User Group in the Philippines.To my genuine shock, he replied. Quickly. With actual instructions on how to get it started.That email led to a blog post called “Will Real Python Hackers Please Stand Up,” which becam...
- The State of Linux-Powered Robots: From Lego Kits to World Domination14 April 2026, 12:48 pm
In 2009, I wrote a TechSource article called “[5 Awesome Robot Kits to Get You Started with Robotics].”The most advanced robot on that list was a LEGO Mindstorms NXT. It had three servo motors, four sensors, and the approximate intelligence of a toaster with ambitions.Two years later, I followed it up with “[Best Robotics Software for Linux],” where we covered tools like ROS, Player, and CARMEN. At the time, the state-of-the-art in Linux robotics was getting a wheeled platform to navigat...
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS vs. macOS 26 Tahoe: The Free OS That Rivals a Premium Experience6 April 2026, 10:04 am
I’m writing this on a MacBook Air running macOS 26 Tahoe, and I keep glancing at my Mac Mini in the corner — the one running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.I’ve been a macOS user for a decade. I develop iOS apps. I’m neck-deep in the Apple ecosystem — iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, the whole cult membership. But last year, Apple released macOS Tahoe with its Liquid Glass redesign, and I found myself wondering: has the free operating system actually gotten *better* than the premium one?Short ans...
- Why the Tesla Model Y L Is the Most Feature-Packed EV for Its Price in the Philippines30 March 2026, 7:16 am
If you’re a long-time reader of TechSource, you know this site has mostly been about Linux, open-source software, and all things computing. But if you’ve been following our recent comeback, you also know we’ve expanded into covering the broader tech landscape — AI, smartwatches, crypto, and whatever else catches my persistently curious eye. Today, we’re parking (pun intended) in a topic that’s been occupying a significant amount of my brain space lately: electric vehicles. Specifical...
- Linux Won, and Nobody Noticed25 March 2026, 1:38 am
The tech industry has failed to properly acknowledge this for years: Linux won. Not "Linux is doing fine." Not "Linux is making progress." Not "maybe next year will be the year of the Linux desktop." No. Linux won. Decisively. Overwhelmingly. In nearly every category of computing that actually matters, Linux is the dominant operating system on the planet — and it happened quietly that most people, including many who use it every single day, have absolutely no idea.I've been writing about Lin...
- How I Built a Local AI Hub Using Free and Open Source Software on My Old Mac Mini16 March 2026, 1:46 am
I’m going to tell you something that would have sounded absolutely insane five years ago: I’m running artificial intelligence on a computer the size of a lunch box, it works offline, my data never leaves my house, and it costs me nothing beyond the electricity to keep it running.No monthly subscription. No API fees. No sending my private documents to some server farm in Virginia. Just me, a Mac Mini M1, and a free and open-source software called Ollama that has quietly become one of the most...
- Health Is Wealth: Why I Chose a Smartwatch Over a Rolex8 March 2026, 8:33 am
A few years ago, a friend of mine bought a Rolex Submariner. It cost him roughly the same as a decent used car. He showed it to me with the kind of pride usually reserved for newborn babies and championship trophies. It was beautiful, I’ll admit. The weight of it, the way it caught the light, the satisfying click of the rotating bezel — there’s a reason people have been obsessed with luxury watches for centuries.He then asked me what I was wearing on my wrist. I looked down at my Garmin Fe...
