- Linux File-System Proliferation A Burden: Requirements Laid Out For Any Future File-Systems4 May 2026, 10:28 am
The growing number of file-systems within the Linux kernel source tree is causing an ongoing burden for upstream developers maintaining the virtual file-system (VFS) code around it and associated code. As a result of the continuing rise of new file-systems being proposed for the Linux kernel, documentation is being introduced to establish clear guidelines for getting new file-systems accepted into the mainline kernel......

It's been an interesting 2026 in Linux development with beginning to phase out i486 CPU support, dropping ISDN and amateur "ham" radio support, and other code cleaning in the name of a diminishing user base -- or perhaps even no users left -- for those running such vintage hardware with a modern, up-to-date kernel. Yet ISA sound card drivers have seen an uptick in activity......

- New NTFS Driver Sees More Fixes With Linux 7.1-rc23 May 2026, 10:15 am
One of the most prominent changes with the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel release is the introduction of the new NTFS driver in the Linux 7.1 kernel. This new driver provides more features and better performance than the Paragon NTFS3 driver that's been in the kernel the past few years and far better off than the original NTFS read-only driver that previously was in the kernel and for which this new driver is based. Needless to say it's also a big improvement over the NTFS-3G user-space FUSE driver t...
- Linux 7.1 Fixes Audio For The Steam Deck OLED After Being Broken 2 Years On The Upstream Kernel3 May 2026, 12:33 am
It turns out the Steam Deck OLED gaming handheld has not had working audio support with the mainline (upstream) Linux kernel since a change in late 2023 that was merged for Linux 6.8. There was an AMD ASoC audio change that inadvertently broke audio support for the Steam Deck OLED handheld but not affecting the original LCD model. Valve's downstream Steam OS kernel has compensated for this known breakage and other distributions targeting the Steam Deck OLED have carried the patch, but now there ...

- Eden: NHS goes to war against open source1 May 2026, 7:27 pm
Terence Eden reports
that the UK's National
Health Service (NHS) is preparing to close almost all of its open-source repositories as a
response to LLM tools, such as Anthropic's Mythos, becoming more
sophisticated at finding security vulnerabilities. He does not, to put
it mildly, agree with the decision:
The majority of code repos
published by the NHS are not meaningfully affected by any advance
in security scanning. They're mostly data sets, internal tools,
guidance, research tools, front-en...

- [$] Restartable sequences, TCMalloc, and Hyrum's Law30 April 2026, 2:01 pm
Hyrum's Law states that any
observable behavior of a system will eventually be depended upon by
somebody. The kernel community is currently contending with a clear
demonstration of that principle. The recent work to address some restartable-sequences
performance problems in the 6.19 release maintained the documented API
in all respects, but that was not enough; Google's TCMalloc
library, as it turns out, violates the documented API, prevents other code
from using restartable features, and brea...

- A security bug in AEAD sockets30 April 2026, 12:01 am
Security analysis firm Xint has disclosed a security bug in the Linux kernel
that allows for arbitrary 4-byte writes to the page cache, and which has been
present since 2017.
The vulnerability has
been fixed in mainline kernels. A
proof-of-concept script demonstrates how to use the flaw to corrupt a setuid
binary, which works on
multiple distributions, by requesting an AEAD-encrypted socket from user space
and splicing a particular payload into it.

The new Linux 22.3 HWE image contains the Linux 6.17 kernel. The team will, from ...
- Someone got Ubuntu running on a PS5 – and played Steam30 April 2026, 2:37 am
A newly launched project lets you boot Ubuntu on a PlayStation 5 to play Steam games, though only if your console is on old enough firmware. The hack is the work of security engineer Andy Nguyen, who this week announced a public release of his ps5-linux-boot project so more people can turn their “…PS5 Phat console on 3.xx and 4.xx [Firmware] into a fully functional Linux PC gaming device”. Obviously, this is all unofficial. The project exploits a patched hypervisor vulnerability to give L...
- Enabling Ubuntu Pro in Security Center is super easy29 April 2026, 9:59 pm
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS dropped the Software & Updates utility from default installs and added Ubuntu Pro settings to the Security Center app. But is the setup experience any better? The short answer is yes, mostly. The range of options still mirrors what was found in the old Software & Updates > Ubuntu Pro tab, but the layout is less cramped, with more room for concise explanations of what each setting and toggle does. Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up-to five devices. A paid s...

If you’re still running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), heads up: Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) ended this month and your system is no longer receiving security updates. Having debuted in April 2016, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS received five years of standard support with a further 5 years of security coverage available through ESM by enabling Ubuntu Pro. ESM for 16.04 ended April 2026, meaning action is needed to stay protected. The most straightforward thing to do is to upgrade to a more recent ...
- Canonical is ‘ramping up’ AI in Ubuntu this year27 April 2026, 2:10 pm
AI features are coming to Ubuntu in 2026, though Canonical has made clear that the distro is not becoming an AI product. In a community post, Jon Seager, VP of engineering at Canonical, says the company is “ramping up its use of AI tools in a focused and principled manner” this year, with a bias toward local inference and open-weight models whose licence terms match Canonical’s values. AI features in Ubuntu will take one of two forms. Implicit features improve existing capabilities using o...

Mozilla has attracted kudos since it added a free built-in VPN to its Firefox web browser, not least because of the generous 50 GB a month usage limit. Now it’s set to add another sweetener: server location choice.

Pod-Level Resource Managers
as an alpha feature, bringing a more flexible and powerful resource management
model to performance-sensitive workloads. This enhancement extends the kubelet's
Topology, CPU, and Memory Managers to support pod-level resource specifications
(.spec.resources), evolving them from a strictly per-container allocation
model to a pod-centric one.
Why do we need pod-level resource managers?
When running performance-critical workloads such as machin...

reached the point where "rootless" security isolation can be used for
Kubernetes workloads.
This feature also enables a critical pattern: running workloads with
privileges and still being confined in the ...
- SELinux Volume Label Changes goes GA (and likely implications in v1.37)22 April 2026, 6:35 pm
If you run Kubernetes on Linux with SELinux in enforcing mode, plan ahead: a future release (anticipated to be v1.37) is
expected to turn the SELinuxMount feature gate on by default. This makes volume setup faster
for most workloads, but it can break applications that still depend on the older recursive relabeling
model in subtle ways (for example, sharing one volume between privileged and unprivileged Pods on the same node).

- Unlocking Smart Meter Insights with Smart Datastream1 May 2026, 6:00 pm
The rollout of smart meters across the UK has fundamentally changed how energy data is generated and used. Millions of devices now capture consumption data at fine-grained intervals, offering a much clearer picture of how energy is used across households and businesses.
This shift creates a real opportunity. With the right tools, organizations can move beyond basic reporting and start making informed decisions around efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability....
- Designing a Production-Grade Multi-Agent LLM Architecture for Structured Data Extraction1 May 2026, 5:00 pm
Problem statement:
Many enterprise systems rely on large volumes of documents that are similar in purpose but inconsistent in structure. For example, in the field of medicare insurance, different carriers, vendors, or partners publish documents describing comparable offerings, but each uses its own format, terminology, layouts, unstructured conditional clauses, etc. ...

The problem was not Playwright. The problem was that every layer of my connection was telling a different story about who I was.
Two Layers, One Identity
Anti-bot systems like Cloudflare, PerimeterX (now HUMAN), and Akamai do not just look at your IP address. They correlate two separate identity signals against each other....
- Bucket4j + Infinispan: A Deep Dive Into Implementation1 May 2026, 3:00 pm
In distributed systems, the biggest challenge for rate limiting is state. How do you ensure that two parallel requests hitting different cluster nodes don't "double-spend" the same token?
In this article, we dive into the implementation details of the integration between the Bucket4j rate-limiting framework and Embedded Infinispan (not HotRod). This setup creates a data grid across different pods of a single application, allowing for seamless, distributed token management....
- 6 Integration Patterns That Look Good on Paper and What Happens When They Hit Production1 May 2026, 2:00 pm
In most enterprise systems, integrations don’t fail immediately. They fail slowly. Everything works fine at first, APIs respond quickly, workflows look clean, and dependencies seem manageable. Then traffic grows, systems evolve, and edge cases appear. That’s when the cracks start to show.
In my experience, these failures are rarely caused by tools. They come from how integration patterns are applied without considering real-world conditions like latency, retries, partial failures, and securi...
- Generate Random Test Data in PostgreSQL1 May 2026, 1:30 pm

In this guide, we'll walk through how to create an anonymous PL/pgSQL block that generates random data and inserts it into a PostgreSQL table. The data will include various types such as integers, strings, dates, ...
- From SDLC to ADLC in AI1 May 2026, 1:00 pm
BLUF: The software development lifecycle was built for a world where software shipped on a schedule. Unfortunately, our AI-augmented world doesn’t work on a schedule. CIOs who keep mapping AI initiatives onto SDLC assumptions are doing worse than just slowing things down. They’re structurally misaligned with how value actually gets created now, and the gap between organizations that figure this out and the ones that don’t is widening faster than most people realize.
The pattern is undenia...
- Clean Code: Concurrency Patterns, Context Management, and Goroutine Safety, Part 51 May 2026, 12:00 pm
Introduction: Why Go Concurrency Is Special
I've debugged goroutine leaks at 3 AM, fixed race conditions that only appeared under load, and watched a single missing defer statement bring down a production service. "Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating" — this Go mantra turned concurrent programming on its head. Instead of mutexes and semaphores, channels. Instead of threads — goroutines. Instead of callbacks — select. And all this with context for lifecycle ma...
- Can Investors Trust AI Sales Figures? Asks Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece4 May 2026, 7:34 am
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece warns of "a troubling trend" in AI's growth. "Rather than selling software, some AI companies are paying their partners to use it."
It cites OpenAI's $1.5 billion joint venture with private-equity firms, Anthropic's $200 million contribution to a private-equity firm joint venture, and Google's $750 million subsidization of Gemini's adoption by consulting firms. "These agreements muddy the distinction between a company's sound growth trajectory and artificial...
- Roblox Blames Age-Verification Rollout for Lowered Growth. Stock Tumbles 22%4 May 2026, 4:34 am
Age verification became mandatory for chat access on Roblox in January — and Friday morning Quartz reported it's apparently impacted the company's financials:
Roblox cut its full-year 2026 bookings forecast by roughly $900 million at the midpoint on Thursday, blaming stronger-than-expected headwinds from its mandatory age-verification rollout on an audience that skews heavily toward children and teenagers. Full-year 2026 bookings are now projected at $7.33 billion to $7.60 billion, a range t...

- OpenAI Introduces AI-Generated Pets for Its Codex App4 May 2026, 12:29 am
"Vibe coding just got a whole lot more adorable," writes Engadget:
OpenAI introduced AI-generated pets to the Codex app, its agentic tool that helps with coding. These "optional animated companions" don't do any coding themselves, but serve as a floating overlay that can tell you what Codex is working on, notify you when Codex completes a task or whether it needs your input on something. The new feature lets developers see Codex's active thread, without having to switch away from your current op...

The Associated Press reports:
On a March afternoon, artificial intelligence detected something resembling smoke on a camera feed from Arizona's Coconino National Forest. Human analysts verified it wasn't a cloud or dust, then alerted the state's forest service and largest electric utility. One of dozens of AI cameras installed for the utility Arizona Public Service had spotted early signs of what came to be known as the Diamond Fire. Firefighters raced to the scene and contained the blaze befor...
- Carbon Pollution Is Making Food Less Nutritious, Risking the Health of Billions3 May 2026, 10:29 pm
A new meta-analysis found nutrients in food decreased over the last 40 years, reports the Washington Post. "Many of humanity's most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago."

- Robots Are Building Clay Homes In Texas Using Dirt From the Ground3 May 2026, 8:59 pm
A startup south of Austin is using robots to build homes out of clay pulled directly from the ground, reports a local news station:
The materials are gathered on site, mixed, and placed on a build plate. From there, a robot lowers from above, picks up the clay with a claw, carries it to the wall and drops it into place. Later, the same robot switches tools, using a hammer attachment to pound the material into shape. "It's kind of trying to replicate how a human might build an adobe house," sai...

A 1999 press release bragged "Jeeves" answered 92.3 million questions in just three months. "In the digital wilds of Y2K, we came to him with our most probing questions," remembers the New York Times — whether it was Britney Spears or tamagotchis:
We asked, and he answered: Jeeves, the digital butler of information, the online valet who led us into the depths of cyberspace. Now, like so many other relics of yesterday's internet, Jeeves — and his home, Ask.com — are no more. After almost ...
- Former Nintendo Executive Says Amazon Once Requested 'Illegal' Price Discounts3 May 2026, 6:28 pm
Amazon once tried to pressure Nintendo to break the law, says former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. At a recent NYU lecture, he describes a conversation with an Amazon executive, Kotaku reports:
"Amazon was looking to get bigger into the video game space," said Fils-Aimé. "Amazon's mentality back then is they wanted to have the lowest price out in the marketplace, even lower than Walmart... Essentially what Amazon wanted (was an) obscene amount of support, financial support,...
- ChatGPT Became So Obsessed With Goblins That OpenAI Had to Intervene3 May 2026, 4:34 pm
The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI "recently gave its popular ChatGPT strict instructions. Stop talking about goblins."
Recent models of the artificial-intelligence chatbot have been bringing up the creatures in conversations with users seemingly out of the blue, as well as gremlins, trolls and ogres. The goblin-speak caught the attention of programmers, who are often heavy users of the bot. Barron Roth, a 32-year-old product manager at a tech company, said the bot referred to a flaw i...

- Retina Scan for Diabetes Could Also Reduce Deaths During Pregnancy in Developing Countries2 May 2026, 4:34 pm
This week Bill Gates wrote a blog post about a special camera from medtech startup Remidio, which delivers high-resolution images of a patient's retina in seconds. The camera plugs into a phone running an AI system that watches for early signs of diabetes — all without needing a blood draw, eye dilation, or a dibetes specialist. It's already been used in 40 countries for more than 15 million patients.
But that same hardware, with different software, can also flag the conditions that drive s...

Some educators and parents say this is a good thing -- students shouldn't spend six or more hours a day at school and still have additional schoolwork to complete at home. But the research on homework is complicated. Some studies show that students who spend more time on homework perform bette...

- NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules20 December 2025, 6:53 pm

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Unfortunately, this coincided with upstream reorganizing the symlink layout of the NVIDIA firmware, resulting in a situation that Pacman cannot handle. When attempting to upgrade from 20250508.788aadc8-2 or earlier, you will see the following errors:

With the recent split of kwin into kwin-wayland and kwin-x11, users running the old X11 session needs to manually install plasma-x11-session, or they will not be able to login.

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.
