- [$] What is to be done about MGLRU?20 May 2026, 1:14 pm
"Reclaim" is the task of finding memory that can be taken away from its
current user and put to better uses within the system; it is a core part of
the memory-management picture. The addition of the multi-generational LRU (MGLRU) was meant to
provide a better reclaim implementation than the "traditional LRU" that
preceded it, but MGLRU has complicated the situation instead. No fewer than
three memory-management-track sessions at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Su...

- [$] openSUSE "terms of site" raise complaints about age restrictions19 May 2026, 3:27 pm
Many people in the Linux community began using the operating system—and
contributing to open source—at a tender age, often well before
their 16th birthday. Thus, a recent change in openSUSE's terms of site (ToS)
that required users of the project's web site to be "at least 16
years of age or the age of majority" in their jurisdiction has
raised objections. The terms have since been modified, though users
must still have parental approval to create accounts if they are
younger than 16....
- [$] In search of faster this_cpu operations19 May 2026, 2:30 pm
The kernel's this_cpu
operations are meant to speed access to per-CPU variables. They are
more optimal on some CPUs than others, though. During a
memory-management-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Yang Shi proposed a
fundamental, and somewhat controversial, change to how these operations
work in order to provide better performance on a wider range of architectures....

Compute
Express Link (CXL) is a technology intended to enable the provision of
"memory nodes" in data centers that provide (possibly shared) memory to
nearby CPUs. It has, Dan Williams said at the beginning of his
memory-management-track session on the topic at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, "been making
memory-management problems worse since 2021". He used the session to
provide an overview of the ways in which CXL can be expected to extend that
record ...
- [$] Improving the per-CPU memory allocator19 May 2026, 1:27 pm
There are many places in the kernel where performance can be improved by
using per-CPU data. But, as it turns out, the kernel's allocator for
per-CPU data has some performance problems of its own. Harry Yoo led a
session in the memory-management track of the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit to explore ways to
address those problems and accelerate the allocation and initialization of
per-CPU data....

Now called Firefox Home, the new tab page has a “new look and feel”, to quote Mozilla.

If your HEIC photos show a “Could not load image” error in Ubuntu 26.04’s Image Viewer, you’re not alone – it’s an intentional breakage, albeit one that’s easy to fix. HEIC files are a variant of HEIF which use H.265/HEVC compression. If you own an iPhone or a newer Android device, the stock camera app uses this format by default. But Ubuntu 26.04 LTS no longer preinstalls a decoder library for HEIC (though more accurately, it’s tweaked dependency chains to ensure one is no longe...

- Kubernetes v1.36: Mixed Version Proxy Graduates to Beta15 May 2026, 6:00 pm
Back in Kubernetes 1.28, we introduced the Mixed Version Proxy (MVP) as an Alpha feature (under the feature gate UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy) in a previous blog post. The goal was simple but critical: make cluster upgrades safer by ensuring that requests for resources not yet known to an older API server are correctly routed to a newer peer API server, instead of returning an incorrect 404 Not Found.
We are excited to announce that the Mixed Version Proxy is moving to Beta in Kubernetes ...
- Kubernetes v1.36: Deprecation and removal of Service ExternalIPs14 May 2026, 6:35 pm
The .spec.externalIPs field for Service was an early attempt to provide
cloud-load-balancer-like functionality for non-cloud clusters.
Unfortunately, the API assumes that every user in the cluster is fully
trusted, and in any situation where that is not the case, it enables
various security exploits, as described in
CVE-2020-8554.
Since Kubernetes 1.21, the Kubernetes project has recommended that all users disable
.spec.externalIPs. To make that easier, Kubernetes also added an admission control...

- Kubernetes v1.36: Server-Side Sharded List and Watch6 May 2026, 6:35 pm
As Kubernetes clusters grow to tens of thousands of nodes, controllers that watch
high-cardinality resources like Pods face a scaling wall. Every replica of a
horizontally scaled controller receives the full stream of events from the API
server, paying the CPU, memory, and network cost to deserialize everything, only
to discard the objects it is not responsible for. Scaling out the controller
does not reduce per-replica cost; it multiplies it.
Kubernetes v1.36 introduces server-side sharded list...

For contributors and ecosystem developers, this replaces thousands of lines of handwritten validation code with a unified, maintainable fram...
- Kubernetes v1.36: Admission Policies That Can't Be Deleted4 May 2026, 6:35 pm
If you've ever tried to enforce a security policy across a fleet of
Kubernetes clusters, you've probably run into a frustrating chicken-and-egg
problem. Your admission policies are API objects, which means they don't
exist until someone creates them, and they can be deleted by anyone with
the right permissions. There's always a window during cluster bootstrap
where your policies aren't active yet, and there's no way to prevent a
privileged user from removing them.

Introduction: Beyond Compute Prices
When migrating or running SAP S/4HANA on AWS, many organizations fixate on EC2 instance prices and assume that choosing the cheapest instance types will yield the biggest savings. In reality, cloud TCO is heavily impacted by landscape design choices, how many environments you run, how they’re sized, how data is managed and what auxiliary services you use. Cutting cloud costs isn’t just about shrinking VM sizes it’s about architecting an efficient SAP lan...

For many organizations, AI started as a way to automate customer support through chatbots or virtual assistants. While that was a good starting point, it barely scratches the surface of what AI is truly capable of.
Today, AI is not just improving processes. It is redefining how businesses create value, deliver services, and generate revenue....
- Context Is the New Schema20 May 2026, 1:00 pm
In the early days of business intelligence, organizations struggled with fragmented data, inconsistent reporting, and decisions that moved more slowly than the problems they were meant to solve. The breakthrough came with dimensional modeling. Ralph Kimball gave us a structured way to transform raw operational data into something meaningful and query-friendly. It was not just a technical advance, but a trust advance. Analysts could finally explain where a number came from.
Today, AI faces a simi...
- How AI Coding Assistants Are Changing Developer Flow20 May 2026, 12:00 pm
As someone who runs a software development company, I’m closely watching how AI is changing the way developers work day to day. I see it in our team as well. AI coding assistants are not just speeding things up, but reshaping how developers think, build, and collaborate.
At the same time, I stay cautious. AI doesn’t always produce correct output, and overrelying on AI tools in developing software products can lead to a false sense of confidence, where code looks right but lacks a solid syste...

- Seagate Sparks Memory Sell-Off As CEO Says It Would 'Take Too Long' To Build New Factories20 May 2026, 6:00 pm
Seagate CEO Dave Mosley said Monday that building new memory chip factories or adding capacity would "take too long" to keep up with AI-driven storage demand. "If we took the teams off and started building new factories or bringing up new machines, that would just take too long. You would end up with more capacity, but then you'd slow the rate of growth on that technology," Mosely said. CNBC reports: Memory chip stocks have soared in recent months as a flood of AI investing has sent demand soari...
- Yearslong Fight Over Users' Right To Tweak Smart TV Software Heads To Trial20 May 2026, 5:00 pm
A long-running lawsuit over Vizio's Linux-based smart TV software is headed to trial in August, with the Software Freedom Conservancy arguing that GPL rules require Vizio to release complete source code owners could use to modify, maintain, or strip ads and tracking from their TVs. Ars Technica reports: The outcome could reverberate across the industry. Because many of today's popular smart TV operating systems are Linux-based, the case may help determine how much control many owners have over t...

Google is again pressuring some longtime G Suite Legacy users to move onto paid Workspace plans, warning that accounts flagged as "commercial use" could lose access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and other services if appeals fail.

Plex says it needs the money for "long-term development" and future features, but a lot of self-hosting folks are already wondering if this is basically a soft way of killing the Lifetime option without officially removing it.

Fortunately, when it comes to detecting gravitational waves from colliding black holes...
- US Math/Reading Scores Continue 13-Year Decline. Researchers Blame Reduced Testing and Social Media17 May 2026, 5:34 pm
Test scores "are lower than they were a decade ago in school districts across the U.S.," reports Times magazine, citing new data released Wednesday by Stanford researchers. "Reading scores were down roughly 0.6 grades in 2025 compared to 2015, and math scores were down about 0.4 grades. This means that students were 60% of one school year behind where their peers were in reading a decade earlier and 40% of one school year behind in math."

- Ben Cotton: How to triage security reports20 May 2026, 12:32 pm
In chapter 10 of Program Management for Open Source Projects, I talk about triaging bug reports. One of the questions in that process is “is it a security bug?” That’s good for helping you sort the security reports from the non-security reports, but what do you do when the answer is “yes”?
The crushing weight of security reports
In the first third of this year, we’ve seen a remarkable increase in security reports, particularly against popular o...
- Fedora Magazine: Fedora Verified: What Does the Community Think?20 May 2026, 8:00 am
Introduction Earlier this year, the community was invited to share their thoughts on a potential new initiative called “Fedora Verified“. The goal of this survey was not to make final decisions, but to listen – to understand what contributors value, where opinions differ, and what questions still need answering.
This is a summary of what we found.
Note: Fedora Verified is still a conceptual idea under discussion by the Fedora Council. Nothing ...

As there was not much on my schedule apart from some exploration of the Bangkok specials and some bonding with the community friends, there was no need to rush. After sharing a quick breakfast with Samyak Jain and Aaditya Singh at the Lumen Bangkok Udomsuk Station hotel, we were ready to leave for traditional sightseeing and friendly conversations.

hosts moving to Fedora 44. Most of these are pretty easy, just setup things
and run ansible, but there's a few tricky hosts that are not in our main
datacenter I've been trying to do.
This includes a donated server that was 12 years old. It's served long and
well, but it's too old for RHEL10. Luckily the donating company was happy

- kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention7 April 2026, 4:50 pm
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
systemctl try-restart kea-ctrl-agent.service kea-dhcp{4,6,-ddns}.service

- iptables now defaults to the nft backend5 April 2026, 6:28 pm
The old iptables-nft package name is replaced by iptables, and the
legacy backend is available as iptables-legacy.
When switching packages (among iptables-nft, iptables, iptables-legacy),
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...
- .NET packages may require manual intervention11 December 2025, 7:01 am

dotnet-runtime
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.
If you are affected by this and require the 9.0 packages, the following commands will update e.g. aspnet-runtime to aspnet-runtime-9.0:

- 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
in it being incompatible with any <= 2.3 configuration file.
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 >= 7.4.1-2 may require manual intervention4 August 2025, 2:58 pm
Starting with 7.4.1-2, the following Zabbix system user accounts (previously shipped by their related packages) will no longer be used. Instead, all Zabbix components will now rely on a shared zabbix user account (as originally intended by upstream and done by other distributions):
zabbix-server
zabbix-proxy
zabbix-agent (also used by the zabbix-agent2 package)
zabbix-web-service
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 ...
- The backbone of play: How online gaming platforms run on modern server infrastructure in 202611 April 2026, 2:52 pm
Online gaming is probably the one area that will continually push the limits of server architecture, networking, and operating systems.

- 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...

- 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...

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...
