Introduced in Linux 5.13 back in 2021 was eXecute In Place "XIP" support for RISC-V that allows for the kernel image to be executed from ROM. The intent is on allowing the kernel to run from non-volatile storage like NOR flash that is directly addressable by the CPU and to reduce RAM usage. But after RISC-V XIP support is broken for months at a time, the feature is now set to be retired from the mainline kernel......

- [$] Protecting against TPM interposer attacks6 April 2026, 2:08 pm
The Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) is a widely misunderstood piece of hardware (or
firmware) that lives in most x86-based computers. At SCALE 23x in Pasadena, California,
James Bottomley gave a presentation on the TPM and the work that he and
others have done to enable the Linux kernel to work with it. In
particular, he described the problems with interposer attacks, which target
the communication between the TPM and the kernel, and what has

- [$] Ubuntu's GRUBby plans3 April 2026, 3:12 pm
GNU GRUB 2, mostly just
referred to as GRUB these days, is the most widely used boot loader
for x86_64 Linux systems. It supports reading
from a vast selection of filesystems, handles booting modern systems
with UEFI or legacy systems with a BIOS, and even allows users to customize the
"splash" image displayed when a system boots. Alas, all of those features come with
a price; GRUB has had a parade
of security vulnerabilities over the years. To mitigate some of those
problems, Ubuntu

Denver Gingerich of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has published
an article
on the impact of the ban on
the sale of all new home routers not made in the United States
issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The SFC, of
course, is the organization
behind the OpenWrt One router.
Since software updates to already-FCC-approved devices do not

Firefox recently added a free built-in VPN to its desktop browser, but access to the feature is rolling out gradually.

Ubuntu’s new default system monitor tool Resources gains a new icon. In the Ubuntu 26.04 beta, the app was still sporting its upstream icon. That didn’t look out of place per se, but shape did not conform to the Yaru icon template (circle, squircle or upright rectangle). That’s now fixed. Still identifiably a system m...

Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API is a fundamental shift in API design.
Gateway API provides a modular, extensible API with strong support for Kubernetes-native RBAC.
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.

- Introducing Node Readiness Controller3 February 2026, 2:00 am
In the standard Kubernetes model, a node’s suitability for workloads hinges on a single binary "Ready" condition. However, in modern Kubernetes environments, nodes require complex infrastructure dependencies—such as network agents, storage drivers, GPU firmware, or custom health checks—to be fully operational before they can reliably host pods.
Today, on behalf of the Kubernetes project, I am announcing the Node Readiness Controller.
This project introduces a declarative system for managi...
- New Conversion from cgroup v1 CPU Shares to v2 CPU Weight30 January 2026, 4:00 pm

from cgroup v1 CPU shares to cgroup v2 CPU weight. This enhancement addresses
critical issues with CPU priority allocation for Kubernetes workloads when
running on systems with cgroup v2.
Background
Kubernetes was originally designed with cgroup v1 in mind, where CPU shares
were defined simply by assigning the container's CPU requests in millicpu
form.
For example, a container requesting 1 CPU (1024m) would get (cpu.sha...

- Precision, Recall, and Identity Error in Programmatic Advertising7 April 2026, 12:00 pm
Programmatic identity decisions are always tradeoffs between reach and correctness, even when they are presented as simple “match” or “addressability” metrics.

This is Part 2 of a series on how audiences become addressable in programmatic advertising. Part 1 established a shared mental model: programma...

As the “early adopter” era comes to an end, with more than 50% of workloads running in the public cloud, organizations are discovering that migrating to the cloud and profiting from it are two very different challenges.
Realizing true cloud cost savings requires moving away from a lift-and-shift mindset and toward a TCO (total cost of ownership)-driven ROI calculation strategy. Leaders...
- Reduce Frontend Complexity in ASP.NET Razor Pages Using HTMX6 April 2026, 6:00 pm
Modern web development often defaults to heavy client-side frameworks (React/Angular) for CRUD applications, introducing significant architectural overhead and “dependency hell.” By integrating HTMX with ASP.NET Razor Pages, we shifted DOM rendering back to the server, utilizing HTML fragments instead of JSON APIs. This approach eliminated complex client-side state management, reduced custom JavaScript by approximately 85%, and maintained a seamless, single-page application (SPA) feel with m...
- The Embed Is the Product: Rethinking AI Distribution6 April 2026, 5:00 pm
The AI industry has picked up a familiar playbook from the developer tools era: ship an API, write documentation, let developers build. This confuses access with distribution. An API grants you access to a capability but doesn’t help you with distribution.
After years of building embedded analytics at ThoughtSpot, I’ve come to the conclusion that for AI products with user-facing surfaces, an API alone won’t cut it. If you want developers to actually adopt your product, not just play ...

While RAG solved the "hallucination" problem by providing models with external data, it remained a fundamentally linear and passive architecture: a user asks a question, the system fetches data, and the model generates an answer.
As we move through 2026, we are witnessing a paradigm shift from these linear pipelines to Agentic Workflows. Unlike a standard LLM cal...
- Smart Controls for Infrastructure as Code with LLMs6 April 2026, 3:00 pm
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has transformed how we manage and provision infrastructure in the cloud. It enabled developers to consider compute, storage, network, and other infrastructure components as software which was not the case before infra was modeled as code. This approach has addressed multiple challenges including consistency and repeatability. IaC provides guarantees that identical environments will be created every time for a given IaC template, improving reliability and minimizing d...
- Integrating OpenID Connect (OIDC) Authentication in Angular and React6 April 2026, 2:00 pm
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0. If you’ve used “Sign in with Google/Microsoft/Okta/Auth0”, you’ve already used OIDC. In modern single-page apps (SPAs), the best practice is:
Authorization Code Flow + PKCE
Store tokens in memory (avoid localStorage when possible)
Use the provider’s well-known discovery document
Protect routes and attach access tokens to API calls
This guide shows an end-to-end setup for both Angular and React....

- Teardown of Unreleased LG Rollable Shows Why Rollable Phones Aren't a Thing6 April 2026, 10:00 pm
A teardown video of LG's never-released Rollable phone helps explain why rollable phones never became a real product category: they were likely too expensive, fragile, and complicated to manufacture at scale.
"The complexity of the internals would have made the Rollable extremely expensive to manufacture, and it would have demanded a high price tag," reports Ars Technica. "Durability is also a big concern. There's just a lot going on inside this phone, with multiple motors, springy arms, track...

- 'Cognitive Surrender' Leads AI Users To Abandon Logical Thinking, Research Finds4 April 2026, 2:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users. On one side are those who treat AI as a powerful but sometimes faulty service that needs careful human oversight and review to detect reasoning or factual flaws in responses. On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they see as an all-knowing machine. Recent research goes a long way to forming a n...

The idea is especially notable because it makes testable predictions, including a minimum level of primordial gravitational waves that future experiments may be able to detect. "Even though this model deals with incredibly high energies, it leads to clear predictions that today's experiments can...

- 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...

dotnet-sdk
dotnet-source-built-artifacts
dotnet-targeting-pack
pacman may display the following error failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) for the affected packages.

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)

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.
tldr: Install plasma-x11-session if you are still ...
- Transition to the new WoW64 wine and wine-staging16 June 2025, 4:22 pm
We are transitioning the wine and wine-staging package to a pure wow64 build. This change removes the dependency on the multilib repository for wine and wine-staging.
The main reason for this is to align with upstream Wine development, which simplifies packaging and the dependency chain.
Potential Issues:
OpenGL Performance: A known limitation of the new WoW64 mode is reduced performance for 32-bit applications that use OpenGL directly
Breaking Changes: Existing 32-bit prefixes needs to be recr...

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...

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...

However, I have already seen its potential and proclaimed that it could become a revolutionary open-source software project and that it has the potential to be bigger than Linux.
