- 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.
A supplemental blog

- Security review of Plasma Login Manager (SUSE Security Team Blog)29 April 2026, 2:20 pm
SUSE's Security Team has published a detailed
blog post on their recent review of the Plasma
Login Manager version 6.6.2,
which was forked from the SDDM display

While most of the code remains the
same, the new upstream added a privileged

plasmaloginauthhelper, which suffers from defense-in-depth
security issues.
[...] Based on the high severity of the defense-in-depth issues
shown in this report, our assessment is that there is effectively no

- Remembering Seth Nickell28 April 2026, 6:50 pm
LWN has received the sad news that Seth Nickell passed away, on
April 16, from his father, Eric Nickell:
Many of you knew Seth from his work in the GNOME Usability Project, but his
roots in that community trace back to his high school years. As a father of
a high school junior, I remember being terrified when he flashed the hard
drive of a computer he purchased for himself with this weird "Linux" thing.
And I was a bit awed by the college application essay he wrote about open

passed away
after a short illness.
A friend who knew him well wrote to me: he was very happy, and
his work fulfilled him. That is, perhaps, the best thing one can
say about a life in open source — that the work mattered, that it
reached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it.
Kalibera was mentioned in this 2019 article about C

Someone has hacked their PlayStation 5 to run Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and used it to play GTA V Enhanced on Steam at a smooth 60fps at 1440p – and now you can too. The feat was pulled off by security engineer Andy Nguyen, who announced a public release of his ps5-linux project this week to 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 vulnera...
- 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...
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS security support has ended – unless you pay28 April 2026, 2:53 pm
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. Mozilla began rolling out VPN integration in Firefox 149 for Windows, macOS and Linux to users in the UK, USA, France and Germany as a privacy shield: it hides your real IP address when browsing by routing traffic through a secure proxy server hosted by Fastly. Canada was added to ...
- Canonical finally gives Launchpad (a bit of) a glow-up24 April 2026, 5:38 pm
Launchpad, the home of Ubuntu development, has finally received some design attention. Canonical last updated the site’s homepage back in 2024, but many of the pages that the distro’s developers actually use or reference on a regular basis have remained untouched for the best part of a decade. Now that’s starting to change. Canonical UX designer Enzo Deng has announced that the company has “begun […] a complete redesign of the series page” for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, describing it as the s...

Grab your diary and jot down the date, as Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ is going to be released on 15 October, 2026. The Ubuntu 26.10 release date and those of other notable milestones in the next development cycle have now been shared by Canonical but, given the nature of development, should be considered tentative – plans can and do change. The most significant date in the 26.10 schedule, besides the final release, is that of feature freeze on August 10, 2026. This is the date at whi...

- Ubuntu confirms the 26.10 codename, and it sounds strange21 April 2026, 4:28 pm
Ubuntu has announced the codename for Ubuntu 26.10 is… “Stonking Stingray”. As codenames go it’s certainly unique. The distro gives each release a codename: an alliterative pairing of adjective and animal, the latter of which becomes the release mascot. The tradition dates back to the first Ubuntu release in 2004 (dubbed ‘Warty Warthog’). Ubuntu 26.04 LTS was ‘Resolute Raccoon’, making ‘s’ the next letter alphabetically, and ‘Stonking Stingray’ was the distro’s standout...

- 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).

A system that crashes is easier to fix than one that silently produces wrong results. The dual write problem is exactly that kind of bug.
It is surprisingly common and often misunderstood, even by teams that have encountered it in production. Understanding the dual write problem starts with seeing why the obvious solution fails, and ends with four patterns that address it correctly....
- Exploring Databricks Genie: Conversational Analytics with Unity Catalog29 April 2026, 5:00 pm
Databricks Genie introduces a new model for data platforms by enabling conversational analytics directly within the Databricks ecosystem. Instead of starting with SQL, users can start with a question in natural language format. Genie interprets natural language prompts, generates SQL queries, executes them against governed datasets, and returns results instantly.
One important point to note is, conversational analytics works best when it operates on well-governed and well-documented datasets. Th...
- Modernizing Cloud Data Automation for Faster Insights29 April 2026, 4:00 pm
In the world of data management, things are moving quickly. Companies want to extract value from their data, but they must decide how to do it effectively. There are three main approaches: ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), ELT (Extract, Load, Transform), and Zero-ETL.
It’s important to understand how each method works, along with their advantages and disadvantages. This helps organizations make informed decisions about their data systems and strategies. In this post, we’ll explore each approac...
- What AWS Kiro Matters for Agentic Development29 April 2026, 3:30 pm
The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned from passive chat interfaces to active, autonomous agents. This shift, known as agentic development, requires a fundamental rethink of cloud infrastructure. In traditional AI workflows, a single request is sent to a large language model (LLM), and a response is received. In agentic workflows, dozens or even hundreds of small, specialized agents must communicate, share state, and access tools in real-time. This creates a massive netwo...
- Designing Intelligent AI Systems for Tax Anomaly Detection29 April 2026, 3:00 pm

- Implementing Effective Document Fraud Detection in C#29 April 2026, 2:30 pm
Document fraud is a persistent problem across a range of industries, and the attack surface is much wider than most organizations want to admit. Enterprises that accept uploaded documents as part of their workflows (particularly insurance carriers) are routinely exposed to carefully forged files and, increasingly, a mountain of AI-generated fakes. The challenge isn’t all about detecting convincing fraud, however: it’s also about the real-world constraints of building a system that can reason...
- The Technical Evolution of Video Production: AI Automation vs. Traditional Workflows29 April 2026, 2:00 pm
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the video production industry at a very fast rate. What took hours of manual processing, such as image quality enhancement, accurate captioning, or frame retouching, can now be done with a few clicks and AI integration.
For software engineers, technical leads, and content architects, this change means more than just a new set of software; it is a fundamental shift from manual, timeline-driven video production to programmatic, data-driven video processing....
- Why Human-in-the-Loop Still Matters in AI-Assisted Coding29 April 2026, 1:00 pm
AI-based programming is becoming an everyday reality for software developers. Today, coders can employ AI-based tools to produce boilerplate, author test code, enhance code, document legacy software, and even suggest design patterns. The potential payoffs are enormous. An hour of work has, in some cases, become just a few minutes of light supervision. The results are significant. Work that initially took one hour has sometimes been reduced to a few minutes.
However, rapid code generation does ...
- First Tesla Semi Rolls Off High-Volume Production Line30 April 2026, 7:00 am
Tesla has produced the first Semi from its new high-volume production line at Gigafactory Nevada, a milestone for the long-delayed electric Class 8 truck program after years of pilot builds and delays. Electrek reports: The Tesla Semi has had one of the longest gestation periods in Tesla's history. First unveiled in 2017, the truck was originally promised for production in 2019. That target slipped repeatedly -- to 2020, then 2021, then 2022 -- before Tesla finally delivered a handful of units t...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the San Francisco Chronicle: Elon Musk returned to the witness stand Wednesday in Oakland federal court for a second day of testimony in his case against OpenAI, detailing his shift from being an enthusiastic supporter of the nonprofit to feeling betrayed. He also clashed repeatedly with OpenAI's attorney over questions that Musk believed were unfair. He said his feelings towards OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman shifted from a "phase one"...
- New Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Would Be Huge Waste of Court's Time, Judge Says29 April 2026, 11:00 pm
A federal judge denied Sam Bankman-Fried's request for a new trial, calling his claims of DOJ witness intimidation "wildly conspiratorial" and unsupported by the record. Judge Lewis Kaplan said (PDF) the FTX founder's motion appeared tied to a pre-indictment plan to recast himself as a Republican victim of Biden's DOJ in hopes of gaining sympathy, leniency, or even a Trump pardon. Ars Technica reports: Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024 for "masterminding one of the larges...
- Ubuntu's AI Plans Have Linux Users Looking For a 'Kill Switch'29 April 2026, 10:00 pm
Canonical's plan to add AI features to Ubuntu has sparked pushback from users who are concerned it could follow Windows 11's AI-heavy direction. "After Canonical's announcement earlier this week that it's bringing AI features to Ubuntu, replies included requests for an AI 'kill switch' or a way to disable the upcoming features," reports The Verge. Canonical says it has no plans for a "global AI kill switch" but it will allow users to remove any AI features they don't want. From the report: In hi...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: A controversial bill in Colorado that would have undone some repair protections in the state has failed. The bill had been the target of right-to-repair advocates, who saw it as a bellwether for how tech companies might try to undo repair legislation more broadly in the US. Colorado's landmark 2024 repair law, the Consumer Right to Repair Digital Electronic Equipment, went into effect in January 2026 and ensured access to tools and documentation pe...

Hashicorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto says GitHub's frequent outages have made it "no longer a place for serious work," prompting him to move his Ghostty terminal emulator project elsewhere after 18 years on the platform. The Register reports: "I've been angry about it. I've hurt people's feelings. I've been lashing out. Because GitHub is failing me, every single day, and it is personal. It is irrationally personal," he wrote. The reason for his ire is the service has become unreliable. "For t...

- The Silent Frequency That Makes Old Buildings Feel Haunted28 April 2026, 11:00 am
Researchers say infrasound -- low-frequency vibrations from things like pipes, HVAC systems, and traffic that humans can't consciously hear -- may help explain why some old buildings feel unsettling or "haunted." Rodney Schmaltz, senior author and professor at MacEwan, says: "Consider visiting a supposedly haunted building. Your mood shifts, you feel agitated, but you can't see or hear anything unusual. In an old building, there is a good chance that infrasound is present, particularly in baseme...

Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade:

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:

This shared zabbix user account is provided by the newly introduced zabbix-common split package, which is now a dep...

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

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...

- 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...
