- Vulnerabilities in various GTK-based PDF readers21 May 2026, 9:05 pm
Michael Catanzaro has disclosed a
command-injection vulnerability affecting a number of GTK-based PDF
readers; exploits included:
They contain a script for building malicious polyglot PDFs that are
simultaneously both valid PDF files and also valid ELF
binaries. When the user opens the PDF in the PDF viewer and clicks
on a malicious link embedded in the PDF, the PDF abuses the command
injection vulnerability to load itself as a GTK module using the
`--gtk-module` command line flag. It ca...

- [$] Support for private memory nodes21 May 2026, 1:22 pm
Gregory Price started his session in the memory-management track of the
2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit by saying that, in
current kernels, if a NUMA node has memory, the assumption is that anybody can
make use of it. He is trying to implement the opposite policy — to make
some memory off-limits for all processes except those designed specifically
to use it. The session was used to present his goals and to discuss how
they might be implemented....

- [$] 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,

- Vivaldi 8.0 released with ‘biggest design overhaul, ever’21 May 2026, 3:42 pm
A bold new look arrives in Vivaldi 8.0, the latest update to the Chromium-based web browser. The browser’s main UI elements (the bits that make a browser looks like a browser, so tabs, toolbars, panels, and content) drop their boundaries to form a continuous look. Hence the named Unified. Similar to Zen Browser, the canvas for web content is now ‘framed’ with rounded corners, rather than web pages flowing fully from edge-to-edge. “Unified is not a visual refresh. It is a rethinking of ho...

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...

Security Operations Center evaluation often collapses into counting activity: alerts processed, cases closed, and tools deployed. Those numbers are easy to collect but frequently mislead because they blend workload, noise, and adversary pressure. A more defensible approach evaluates the SOC as an operational capability with two linked outcomes: relevant adversary behavior becomes observable as actionable detections, and response actions occur quickly enough to reduce impact.

In many enterprise lakehouse environments, the biggest ingestion challenge is not data volume; it is inconsistency.
As platforms grow, data starts arriving from many different systems through REST APIs, SOAP services, SFTP drops, database extracts, queues, and other interfaces. In many teams, these integrations are built one by one to solve immediate business needs. Over time, that creates a fragmented connector landscape where every source behaves a little differently....
- How to Detect Spam Content in Documents Using C#21 May 2026, 3:30 pm
Enterprise endpoints accept file uploads from a wide range of sources, including vendors, customers, partners, and anonymous external users. The content within those documents is largely trusted by default, especially if it passes a virus and malware scan. The problem is that this doesn’t account for a different type of risk: documents that are free of malware but stuffed with spam content. That can mean anything from phishing attempts to unsolicited commercial material; some of it is dangerou...
- Fact-Checking LLM Outputs Programmatically: Building a Verification Layer That Catches Hallucinations21 May 2026, 3:00 pm
Last month, I asked an LLM to analyze a company's financials. The report it generated included this sentence, "The company's revenue grew 23% year-over-year to $4.2 billion in Q3 2025."

- Your API Authentication Isn’t Broken; It’s Quietly Failing in These 6 Ways21 May 2026, 2:00 pm
Most API authentication setups don’t fail loudly. They fail quietly, and by the time you notice, something else is already wrong.
APIs sit at the center of most modern applications. They connect frontends, microservices, and third-party integrations. In theory, we protect them using OAuth, JWTs, or API keys. In practice, that’s usually where things start to drift a bit....
- Steve Wozniak Tells Graduates They All Have 'AI': Actual Intelligence22 May 2026, 11:00 am
While other commencement speeches have been met with boos for hyping up artificial intelligence, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak reminded college graduates that they already posses "AI" of their own: "actual intelligence." He framed AI as an attempt to duplicate brain-like routines, and encouraged students to "think different" as they enter a workforce being reshaped by automation. Business Insider reports: Steve Wozniak did what other college graduation commencement speakers couldn't this year: e... 
- At Least 80% Responsibility For Ill Health In Old Age Down to Individual, Study Says22 May 2026, 7:00 am
A new Oxford Longevity Project report argues that individuals bear at least 80% of the responsibility for ill health in old age. "The report (PDF), launched at the Smart Ageing Summit in Oxford last week, argues that individuals have far greater control over their longevity than is commonly understood," reports The Guardian. "The authors call on the government to take legislative action on alcohol comparable to restrictions on smoking." From the report: Living Longer, Better -- the Oxford Longev... 
- AT&T Sues California In Bid To Stop Offering Traditional Phone Service22 May 2026, 3:30 am
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: AT&T on Wednesday filed suit (PDF) against California officials seeking a court order declaring it does not have to continue offering traditional copper wire phone service to new customers as it vowed to spend $19 billion on modern telecom services. California requires the U.S. wireless carrier to spend $1 billion annually to maintain a century-old telephone network that few use, AT&T said, saying the network now serves just 3% of househo...

Thousands of Chicago-area Zillow and Trulia listings disappeared after Midwest Real Estate Data cut off Zillow's access to its feed, "in the latest escalation of a legal battle with Lisle-based Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED)," reports the Chicago Sun-Times. "The fight is over MRED's private listing network, where homes for sale are shared among real estate professionals.

- Trump Calls Off AI Executive Order Over Concern It Could Weaken US Tech Edge21 May 2026, 9:00 pm
Trump called off a planned AI executive order just hours before a signing ceremony because he said he was worried the framework could slow America's lead over China. "We're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead," Trump told reporters. The Associated Press reports: The order would have established a framework for the government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems before their public releas...

BrianFagioli writes: Flipper Devices has finally revealed Flipper One, a Linux-powered cyberdeck that sounds less like a gadget and more like an attempt to rebuild portable ARM computing from the ground up. Unlike Flipper Zero, which focuses on offline protocols like RFID and Sub-1 GHz radio, Flipper One is all about networking, modular hardware, SDR experimentation, local AI, and upstream Linux kernel support. The company says it wants to build "the most open and best-documented ARM computer in...

Spotify is launching "Reserved," a new feature that will set aside concert tickets for Premium subscribers it identifies as an artist's most dedicated fans based on streams, shares, and other activity. "Getting concert tickets today can feel like a race you're set up to lose," Spotify wrote in a post on Thursday. "You show up at the right time, refresh endlessly, and still miss out. Too often, the experience is stressful, unpredictable, and disconnected from what should matter most: whether real...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdos in 1946. If this sounds familiar to you, it's because this isn't the first time OpenAI has made such a bold claim. Seven months ago, the AI giant's former VP Kevin Weil posted on X: "GPT-5 found solutions to 10 (!) previously unsolved Erds problems and made progress on 11 oth...

He is using that prospect to argue for a revamped Artemis strategy and an accelerated path toward a U.S. lunar return.

"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."

by George Whittaker
The Linux kernel continues its fast-paced release cycle, and with that comes an important milestone: Linux kernel 6.19 has officially reached end of life (EOL). For users and distributions still running this branch, it’s now time to upgrade to a newer kernel version.
This isn’t unexpected, Linux 6.19 was never intended to be a long-term release, but it does serve as a reminder of how quickly non-LTS kernel...
- Archinstall 4.2 Shifts to Wayland-First Profiles, Leaving X.Org Behind16 April 2026, 4:00 pm
by George Whittaker
The Arch Linux installer continues evolving alongside the broader Linux desktop ecosystem. With the release of Archinstall 4.2, a notable change has arrived: Wayland is now the default focus for graphical installation profiles, while traditional X.Org-based profiles have been removed or deprioritized.
This move reflects a wider transition happening across Linux, one that is gradually redefining how graphical e...

Wow! That’s a bold statement from one of the most influential figures in modern computing.

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

/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

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.

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...

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:

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

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...
- How I Built a Local AI Hub Using Free and Open Source Software on My Old Mac Mini16 March 2026, 1:46 am
I’m going to tell you something that would have sounded absolutely insane five years ago: I’m running artificial intelligence on a computer the size of a lunch box, it works offline, my data never leaves my house, and it costs me nothing beyond the electricity to keep it running.No monthly subscription.

Let me start with a confession. I haven’t used Linux as my daily desktop operating system in roughly a decade.I know. Take a moment. Breathe. For those of you who have been reading TechSource since the Ubuntu and Compiz days, that sentence may stung.

- How to Easily Install a Full Bitcoin Lightning Node on a Raspberry Pi24 June 2021, 3:56 am
I recently installed a full bitcoin node on our home network, and lucky for me, I got everything up and running quickly without bumping into some issues. Before I will show you the steps on how to install a full bitcoin node, allow me to explain some of my reasons why I ended up doing this. As some of you may already know, bitcoin is a network composed of thousands of nodes. A record of every bitcoin transaction is verified and maintained inside a node.
