- [$] A flood of useful security reports9 April 2026, 1:28 pm
The idea of using large language models (LLMs) to discover security problems is
not new. Google's Project Zero
investigated
the feasibility of using LLMs for security research in 2024. At the time, they
found that models could identify real problems, but required a good deal of
structure and hand-holding to do so on small benchmark problems. In February
2026, Anthropic
published a report
claiming that the company's most recent LLM at that point in time, Claude Opus 4.6, had discovered
real-worl...

- [$] Ripping CDs and converting audio with fre:ac8 April 2026, 3:40 pm
It has been a little while since LWN last surveyed tools for managing a digital
music collection. In the intervening decades, many Linux users have moved on to
music streaming services, found them wanting, and are looking to curate their own
collection once again. There are plenty of choices when it comes to
ripping, managing, and playing digital audio; so many, in fact, that it can be a
bit daunting. After years of tinkering, I've found a few tools that work well for

On March 31, Kees Cook shared
a patch set that represents the culmination of more than a year of work
toward eliminating the possibility of silent, unintentional integer overflow in
the kernel. Linus Torvalds was
not pleased with the approach, leading to a detailed discussion about the
meaning of "safe" integer operations and the design of APIs for handling integer
overflows. Eventually, the developers involved reached a consensus for a
different API that should make handling overflow errors ...

Not many people live on sailboats. Things may be better these days, but
back in 2014 sailboat dwellers had
to contend with lag-prone,
intermittent, low-bandwidth internet connections. Dominic Tarr
decided
to fix the problem of keeping up with his friends by developing a delay-tolerant,
fully distributed social-media protocol called

Amazon is dropping support for Kindle older models from 20 May, 2026, meaning owners of pre-2013 models will be unable to download new books or set up a device that has been factory reset — deregistering a device will effectively ‘brick’ it.

Conversely, the Ingress API is simple, and implementations such as Ingress-NGINX extend the API through eso...
- Running Agents on Kubernetes with Agent Sandbox20 March 2026, 6:00 pm
The landscape of artificial intelligence is undergoing a massive architectural shift. In the early days of generative AI, interacting with a model was often treated as a transient, stateless function call: a request that spun up, executed for perhaps 50 milliseconds, and terminated.
Today, the world is witnessing AI v2 eating AI v1. The ecosystem is moving from short-lived, isolated tasks to deploying multiple, coordinated AI agents that run constantly. These autonomous agents need to maintain c...
- Securing Production Debugging in Kubernetes18 March 2026, 6:00 pm
During production debugging, the fastest route is often broad access such as cluster-admin (a ClusterRole that grants administrator-level access), shared bastions/jump boxes, or long-lived SSH keys. It works in the moment, but it comes with two common problems: auditing becomes difficult, and temporary exceptions have a way of becoming routine.
This post offers my recommendations for good practices applicable to existing Kubernetes environments with minimal tooling changes:

- Designing Docling Studio: Key Architecture Decisions9 April 2026, 1:30 pm
Docling Studio is a visual layer on top of Docling, the document extraction engine. The idea is simple: give users a way to see extraction results for debugging, quality analysis, and understanding how the pipeline actually works.
Document extraction is a critical building block for AI projects, especially in RAG contexts. But when something goes wrong in the extraction, you need to see it, not just read JSON. You could script a quick viewer with pdf.js, but you'd be re-implementing coordinate t...
- Governing Identity Under Uncertainty: Experimentation and Incrementality in Modern Programmatic Advertising9 April 2026, 1:00 pm
(Series: How Audiences Become Addressable in Programmatic Advertising)
Identity is not something you “set.” It is a set of design choices that determine who is eligible, what the system can learn, and which performance claims are even interpretable. The only reliable way to validate identity decisions is to treat them as changes to treatment assignment and evaluate them with incrementality-first experimentation, wrapped in an operating model that prevents silent drift....

According to Mozilla, parts of Windows still open links in Edge regardless of the default browser setting, including results from the taskbar search and links launched from apps like Outlook and Teams. Mozilla says this means Firefox often never even gets the opportunity to handle those links, whi...

The saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” always felt a little gross to me. There are a lot of reasons you might get noticed that are bad, and it should feel bad to do bad things. But maybe there’s something to it. If you hand...

So, I know you have either ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile in your installation. We all do. And many apps
we use on a daily basis use those. Plus, you like your aliases, your own env variables and maybe even one or two bash functions
you like to use.
That creates a problem. You have everything in a single file (or two) and you have a mess. It's hard to read, hard to organize and a
single mistake renders that file useless. Well, maybe not useless, but...

The kea package has moved all services to run as a dedicated kea user (instead of root) for improved security. This change requires permission updates to the runtime files created by the kea services.
Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade:
chown kea: /var/lib/kea/* /var/log/kea/* /run/lock/kea/logger_lockfile

check for .pacsave files in /etc/iptables/ and restore your rules if needed:
/etc/iptables/iptables.rules.pacsave
/etc/iptables/ip6tables.rules.pacsave
Most setups should work unchanged, but users relying on uncommon xtables
extensions or legacy-only behavior should test carefully and use
iptables-legacy if r...
- NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules20 December 2025, 6:53 pm
With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the nvidia package with nvidia-open, nvidia-dkms with nvidia-open-dkms, and nvidia-lts with nvidia-lts-open.
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.
Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switc...

- waydroid >= 1.5.4-3 update may require manual intervention6 November 2025, 12:35 am
The waydroid package prior to version 1.5.4-2 (including aur/waydroid) creates Python byte-code files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process.
As a result, the upgrade may conflict with the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

- dovecot >= 2.4 requires manual intervention31 October 2025, 9:20 pm
The dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result

Thus, the dovecot service will no longer be able to start until the
configuration file was migrated, requiring manual intervention.
For guidance on the 2.3-to-2.4 migration, please refer to the
following upstream documentation:
Upgrading Dovecot CE from 2.3 to 2.4
Furthermore, the dovecot 2.4 branch no longer supports their
replication feature, it was removed.

zabbix-server

This shared zabbix user account is provided by the newly introduced zabbix-common split package, which is now a dep...
- linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention21 June 2025, 11:09 pm
With 20250613.12fe085f-5, we split our firmware into several vendor-focused packages. linux-firmware is now an empty package depending on our default set of firmware.
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:
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem

- Plasma 6.4.0 will need manual intervention if you are on X1120 June 2025, 7:08 am
On Plasma 6.4 the wayland session will be the only one installed when the users does not manually specify kwin-x11.
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. Currently pacman is not able to figure out your personal setup, and it wouldn't be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every
one using Plasma.

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...

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...
