- Linux 7.3 Cleans Up The Code For Disabling Of Legacy 32-bit Time Support20 August 2026, 10:21 am
The Linux kernel has supported the CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME Kconfig build time option for optionally disabling of legacy 32-bit time system call support. This is intended to disable the code that uses a 32-bit integer for time that is thus not Year 2038 safe, but at the cost of breaking compatibility for legacy 32-bit applications. Even if building without Linux 32-bit time support, it turns out some 32-bit time code persisted but that is now being fixed with Linux 7.3......

Andrew Morton on Tuesday sent out all of the memory management "MM" updates for the Linux 7.3 merge window. The MM pull was particularly heavy as he noted 1,250 "added-to-MM" emails were sent out this cycle compared to 920 the prior cycle. With a lot of patch churn, he also turned to Google's Gemini AI for writing his patch summaries. In going through the very verbose AI-generated summary, there are two patch series that get me excited on the performance front with Linux 7.3......

As of this writing, 2,346 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the
mainline repository for the 7.3 kernel release. That, clearly, is a mere
down payment on the flood that is to come. Even so, those early pulls
brought in some noteworthy changes, including (but not limited to) a
significant reworking of how group scheduling works on multiprocessor

The Debian Project is voting on the usage
of large language models (LLMs) to make contributions to the project. The first
proposal, sent in late July by Matthias Geiger, would expressly forbid any
contributions to Debian that are created by or with the assistance of LLMs. That
kicked off a firestorm of discussion and a flood of alternate proposals. Debian
developers are now voting on
eight proposals in total that range from banning LLM-assisted contributions
to explicitly approving them, as well...

- [$] Representing Python paths using pathlib19 August 2026, 3:03 pm
At the outset of his PyCon US 2026
talk, Trey Hunner said that his goal was for attendees to stop representing
filesystem paths as strings and to use pathlib
instead. That's kind of a tall order, at least for longtime Python users,
since string-based paths have been pervasive—and mostly work. It is that
"mostly" part that makes Hunner want to see things change, of course, so he
set out to describe a lesser-known corner of the language and to try to
change some minds....

- PINE64 pulls the plug on Linux devices because of AI boom19 August 2026, 3:49 pm
If you’ve been eyeing up one of PINE64‘s Linux-friendly single-board computers, phones or tablets, now is the time to buy one. The open-hardware company has announced it will stop “producing more Linux devices” for the time being, and said it expects its existing stock of certain devices, including the PineNote and PineTab 2, to sell out in the next three months. RAMaggeddon is to blame. The AI infrastructure boom continues apace, with demand for memory and storage chips continuing to re...
- Firefox 154 released with translation, AI and UI tweaks18 August 2026, 1:46 pm
Mozilla has released Firefox 154 with some small AI-related changes, an ‘improved’ full-page translations and faster video seeking on “all operating systems”. Firefox 154 serves as the final monthly release of Firefox before browser switches to a faster, twice-monthly release schedule early September. That means you’ll be back here, reading “Firefox 155 released” in a couple weeks, rather than the usual four weeks. But enough what’s coming; what’s new now? Firefox 154’s main ...
- Ubuntu’s App Center doesn’t know what went wrong18 August 2026, 12:32 am
I recently re-encountered my favourite ‘error’ dialog in Ubuntu, which is thrown by the distro’s App Center (snap-store), which is the default GUI software management tool. Now, I don’t see it often, but when I do it (un)helpfully informs me: “Something went wrong. We’re sorry, but we’re not sure what the error is.” I appreciate its honesty and sympathise with the general sense of unease it imparts – I say something similar myself, looking at the state of the world – but sure...
- Wordbook is a modern offline dictionary for GNOME17 August 2026, 10:30 pm
They say never judge a book by its cover, and few do if said book is a dictionary, but what about desktop dictionary apps? I recently came across Wordbook, a modern English-English dictionary powered by OpenEnglish WordNet and eSpeak for pronunciations. Wordbook is in GNOME Circle, and its GTK4/libadwaita UI is a good fit for the desktop. Wordbook uses a lexical database, with words grouped into ‘synsets’ based on their meaning. It makes it easier to explore related words, distinguish betwee...
- Linux 7.2 brings cache-aware scheduling, faster ext4 and Btrfs16 August 2026, 11:04 pm
Linux kernel 7.2 has been released, adding cache-aware scheduling, ext4 filesystem performance boosts and a slew of new and improved hardware drivers for laptops and peripherals. A merge widow record was also set during the 9-week development cycle, with more than 2,100 individual contributors involved. AI, obviously, has helped. Commit-crunching by LWN found roughly 5% of commits in 7.2 have an ‘assisted-by’ tag, indicating AI usage. Not that the latest kernel update was all additions. More...
- Add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop14 August 2026, 4:02 pm
If you remember that desktop picture widget for GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit too basic for your personalisation preferences, you weren’t alone. Another user felt it could lacked enough flexibility, so forked and improved it. Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a different folder to pull images from, at random. Plus, you can set the size, position, border radius and aspect r...
- GeForce NOW’s Linux app exits beta, gets official Flatpak repo13 August 2026, 3:22 pm
GeForce NOW’s native Linux app has exited beta after seven months of testing, with official support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and later.

Users get GeForce RTX-class performance, ray tracing and DLSS without the need to own the relevant hardware. In a blog post to announce its ‘graduation’ from beta, Nvidia say GeForce NOW for Linux has picked up “performance, sta...
- LightDM returns from the dark with first release in 4 years12 August 2026, 4:16 pm
LightDM, Ubuntu’s former display manager, has had its first new release in four years – and the first under a new set of maintainers. LightDM v1.33.0 is a ‘catch up’ release that adds Qt6 support (Qt5 still works, don’t worry) and clears a backlog of fixes that had built up since the previous release in 2022. There shouldn’t be any breaking changes either, per the release notes. While it might sound like a sudden revival of a legacy effort, LightDM is still widely used by Linux distr...
- GNOME 51 brings a floating search overlay to the Shell11 August 2026, 11:33 pm
GNOME 51, due out in September, could include a redesigned search experience. Presently, when you trigger a search from the GNOME Shell overview, a dedicated search results screen replaces the one you were looking at, either the workspaces or app picker. But a change targeted for GNOME Shell in v51 plans to change that. Modern GNOME Shell is designed around a ‘semantic’ model, where elements visibly enter and exit from a specific place (with animations providing cues) so you know how one scr...

By Juha Holkkola, FusionLayer Group How DHCP Changed Connectivity In the late 1990s, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) quietly catalyzed a revolution in digital connectivity. Before DHCP was introduced, connecting devices to a network involved manual entry of IP addresses, DNS servers, subnet masks, and gateways. Networks were fragile, prone to errors, and severely […]

- How to Pretty-Print Your Kubernetes YAML as KYAML and Why You'd Want To11 August 2026, 6:00 pm
YAML has been the standard way to write Kubernetes manifests for years. Every example, tutorial, and configuration file you come across is written in it. The problem isn't that YAML is a bad format. It's that YAML gives you a lot of choices, and not all of them are equally good for writing Kubernetes manifests. Some features make files harder to read, some are easy to misuse and others can lead to surprising behavior.
The interesting part is that Kubernetes doesn't actually need most of those fe...

- 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...
- Operating AI/ML Workloads on Kubernetes: A Headlamp Plugin for Kubeflow13 July 2026, 8:00 pm
Kubernetes has quietly become the default platform for AI and machine learning. Whether you run notebook servers for data scientists, schedule distributed training jobs, tune hyperparameters, or orchestrate multi-step ML pipelines, those workloads increasingly land on a Kubernetes cluster. Kubeflow is one of the most popular ways to assemble that stack, and it does so the Kubernetes-native way: every capability is exposed as a Custom Resource Definition (CRD).

- Open source maintainership in the age of AI26 June 2026, 6:00 pm
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.

- Why DAST Findings Are Hard to Fix and How to Make Them Actionable20 August 2026, 12:00 pm
Dynamic testing is essential because it uncovers vulnerabilities in running applications. But while SAST gets the attention because it’s shift-left and relatively straightforward to fix, DAST often gets stuck in the backlog.
Application security testing generally splits into two approaches. SAST (static analysis) scans source code before it ever runs, catching issues while a developer is still in the file, which is why fixes tend to happen fast. You're editing code you just wrote, with full ...
- Securing AI Retrieval Pipelines and Adding Identity-Aware Access Controls to RAG Systems19 August 2026, 7:00 pm
Most RAG tutorials focus on relevance — chunking strategies, embedding models, and hybrid search fusion. What they rarely address is security. In production, retrieval pipelines pull data from sources with different access levels, sensitivity classifications, and regulatory requirements. A support agent should not see executive compensation data just because the vector similarity score is high. An AI agent processing customer queries should not return internal audit findings because they share...

The demo always works. Someone wires a vector index to a foundation model in a notebook, asks it three questions about the employee handbook, gets three crisp answers, and the room nods. Then the request becomes "ship it to 4,000 employees," and the notebook quietly dies. There's no endpoint, no auth, no version history, no way to see why a particular answer was wrong, and no story for when legal asks how you'll roll back the prompt that started citing the 2019 PTO policy.

Google's transition from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 has been one of the most significant architectural overhauls in the history of browser extension development. For developers building ad blockers, privacy shields, or developer tools, the biggest impact is the deprecation of the blocking capabilities of the chrome.webRequest API.

The first time I containerized a fine-tuned Llama model for a client's internal search tool, the build finished at 38 gigabytes. I remember staring at the terminal thinking there was no way that was right. It was right. The image included a CUDA base, PyTorch with every backend compiled in, model weights baked directly into the layer, and a pip cache that had not been cleaned.

If different Docker Engine versions are running simultaneously in a Docker Swarm cluster, this may lead not to an obvious service outage but to a more subtle scenario: partial traffic degradation on individual nodes. In this case, the issue appeared on one of the manager nodes, Traefik started reporting an unavailable status (health=0) for the router-app service, and the cause, according to the working hypothesis, was related to differences in iptables rules and overlay networking between Docker...
- Solving Session Persistence for Model Context Protocol Servers at Enterprise Scale19 August 2026, 12:30 pm
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that work perfectly in development can fail intermittently once they are deployed across multiple replicas behind a load balancer. The failure mode is a stream of "session not found" errors that appear at random, and the cause is a mismatch between how certain MCP transports hold session state and how load balancers distribute requests. This article explains why the problem occurs, when it applies, and a concrete pattern for solving it using a shared session ...

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...
