With this week's launch of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition I've found some of the commentary quite surprising among those arguing it's really not a competitive or interesting product. While the cost may be hard to justify at $899 USD compared to the existing Ryzen 9000 series products or Intel's new Core Plus CPUs, particularly for developers, technical computing, etc the performance of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is quite interesting. I've had much enjoyment benchmarking the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 for...
- Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS Will Now Automatically Install HWE/OEM Kernel Packages23 April 2026, 3:23 pm
Ubuntu LTS releases on the desktop have automatically installed OEM vendor kernels where needed and hardware enablement "HWE" kernels in later point releases by default. This provides a better out-of-the-box experience for Ubuntu desktop users and one less chore post-install if desiring a newer/better kernel. With Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS, the server installer is finally doing the same......

Canonical announced last year that in collaboration with AMD they would be bringing the ROCm software libraries into the Ubuntu archive for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. The plan has been to ship AMD ROCm AI/ML and HPC libraries in the Ubuntu archive so it would be as easy as sudo apt install rocm for getting started with AMD's open-source GPU compute stack. With today being the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release day, I decided to revisit the topic......

- [$] Famfs, FUSE, and BPF23 April 2026, 1:44 pm
The famfs filesystem first showed up on the
mailing lists in early 2024; since then, it has been the topic of
regular discussions at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management and
BPF (LSFMM+BPF) Summit. It has also, as result of those discussions, been
through some significant changes since that initial posting. So it is not
surprising that a suggestion that it needed to be rewritten yet again was
not entirely well received. How much more rewriting will actually be
needed is unclear, b...

- [$] Dependency-cooldown discussions warm up22 April 2026, 3:21 pm
Efforts to introduce malicious code into the open-source supply
chain have been on the rise in recent years, and there is no indication that they
will abate anytime soon. These attacks are often found quickly, but not quickly
enough to prevent the compromised code from being automatically injected into other
projects or code deployed by users where it can wreak havoc. One method of avoiding
supply-chain attacks is to add a delay of a few days before pulling upates in what
is known as a "dependen...
- [$] One Sized trait does not fit all22 April 2026, 1:58 pm
In Rust, types either possess a constant size known at compile time, or a
dynamically calculated size known at
run time. That is fine for most purposes, but recent proposals for the language
have shown the need for a more fine-grained hierarchy.
RFC 3729 from David Wood and Rémy Rakic would add a hierarchy of
traits to describe types with sizes known under different circumstances. While
the idea has been subject to discussion for many years, a growing number of
use cases for the feature have ...

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...

If you plan to upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ‘Resolute Raccoon’ from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, you’re going to inherit two years worth of improvements. As an LTS-to-LTS jump, you don’t simply benefit from what’s new in Ubuntu 26.04, but everything else added in the 3 interim releases prior, namely Ubuntu 24.10, 25.04 and 25.10. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS does plenty of things that 24.04 didn’t, but drops several features too It adds up to a mammoth set of changes across the full stack, running right fro...

Assorted improvements made since GIMP 3.2.2 dropped in March include a variety of layer workflow tweaks, like ensuring certain actions, like ‘Layers to Image Size’ and ‘Resize Layer to Selection’ only on raster layers (not vector, linked or text layers). Similarly, the team says they “caught more cases where tools would accidentally rasterize link, text, and vector layers”. A layer nami...
- Type with your voice on Linux using this Whisper-based app19 April 2026, 2:48 am
Your mouth can (probably) say things quicker than your hands can type them, yet voice typing is rarely used as a primary input method on desktop, despite most of us thinking nothing of using it on mobile. That’s despite speech-to-text being available on desktop OSes for decades, natively and through dedicated apps. It never caught on because it was inaccurate and slow and typically hidden away as an assistive feature. (And because a lot of what you do at a keyboard is navigation and that is le...

- 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).

With the Ingress-NGINX retirement scheduled for March 2026, the Kubernetes networking landscape is at a turning point.

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...

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.

production, signs them with cosign, replicates
signatures across more than 20 regional mirrors, and generates
SLSA provenance attestations. If this tool breaks, no

For years, end-to-end and smoke tests have been at the top of the list of things that teams should be careful with. Even though end-to-end tests are good, they also add friction to the development velocity. They are often prone to errors and require a lot of maintenance. In addition, it is extremely difficult to debug if something goes wrong. This is the main reason why one should be careful with end-to-end tests, but rather rely on a higher number of tests. It is not a good idea to test all fea...

In today’s fast-paced digital world, software quality matters more than ever. Customers now expect everything to work smoothly, so even small bugs can result in financial losses, reputation damage, and missed opportunities. Many companies choose internal QA teams, freelancers, or even combine development and testing within one vendor. But more and more businesses start to realize that independent QA offers unique advantages. It helps boost efficiency and keep quality high.
Why Independent T...
- Coding Agents Need a Feedback Loop; Cloud-Native Systems Make That Hard23 April 2026, 4:23 pm
The first time I watched a coding agent finish a task in under a minute and then spent the next hour figuring out whether the change actually worked, I understood what the productivity numbers were hiding.
Generating the code was fast. Validating that it worked was not. It was slow because the change touched a service that talked to four other services, and there was no way for the agent to exercise that path without me standing up an environment, redeploying, and running the request myself. By ...
- The LLM Selection War Story: Part 1 - Why Your Model Selection Process is Fundamentally Broken23 April 2026, 4:00 pm
Here's a confession that'll probably get me kicked out of the AI engineering community: I spent three months selecting an LLM based on benchmark scores, built an entire production system around it, and watched it fail spectacularly in ways no benchmark predicted. The model scored 94% on reasoning tasks. It couldn't handle a simple user asking "wait, what did I just say?" without losing its mind.
Let me tell you why everything you think you know about choosing an LLM is probably wrong, and more i...
- Observability on the Edge With OTel and FluentBit23 April 2026, 3:30 pm
When we design observability pipelines for modern cloud environments, we implicitly rely on a set of luxurious guarantees: limitless bandwidth, highly available networks, practically infinite storage, and abundant computing power. But when you move these workloads to the edge, think of a maritime vessel navigating the mid-Atlantic or a remote wind turbine, those guarantees vanish. Edge environments are constrained by intermittent connectivity, severe limits on CPU and RAM, and a lack of persiste...
- The Bandwidth Tax Nobody Warned You About23 April 2026, 3:00 pm

- Agent Skills Explained for Developers23 April 2026, 2:30 pm
Agent skills are suddenly everywhere in the AI engineering world, and for good reason. They solve a very real problem: AI agents may be smart, but they still know nothing about your organization unless you explicitly teach them. They do not automatically understand your internal workflows, your service catalog, your production readiness rules, or the exact steps needed to fix recurring issues.
That is where agent skills come in. They give your AI agent reusable knowledge, structured instructions...
- CI/CD Integration: Running Playwright on GitHub Actions: The Definitive Automation Blueprint23 April 2026, 2:00 pm
Stop chasing the "it works on my machine" error. Testing locally is a great sandbox, but it isn't a real deployment strategy. Your automation scripts only matter when they're consistent across different environments.
If you aren't running end-to-end tests in a continuous pipeline, you're essentially maintaining a safety net that only works in your backyard. CI/CD integration changes that. It turns testing from a manual chore into a mandatory, objective gate for your code quality....
- New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations24 April 2026, 3:30 am
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: New gas projects linked to just 11 data center campuses around the US have the potential to create more greenhouse gases than the country of Morocco emitted in 2024. Emissions estimates from air permit documents examined by WIRED show that these natural gas projects -- which are being built to power data centers to serve some of the US's most powerful AI companies, including OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI -- have the potential to emit more than 1...
- Apple Stops Weirdly Storing Data That Let Cops Spy On Signal Chats23 April 2026, 11:00 pm
Apple has fixed a bug that could cause parts of Signal notifications to remain stored on iPhones even after messages disappeared and the app was deleted. "Affected users concerned about push notifications can update their devices to stop what Apple characterized as 'notifications marked for deletion' that 'could be unexpectedly retained on the device,'" reports Ars Technica. "According to Apple, the push notifications should never have been stored, but a 'logging issue' failed to redact data." F...
- Warner Bros Shareholders Approve Paramount's $81 Billion Takeover23 April 2026, 10:00 pm
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have approved Paramount Skydance's takeover bid, moving the massive Hollywood merger a step closer to completion. It's not a done deal quite yet, though, as it still faces regulatory scrutiny and fierce opposition from critics who warn it will further concentrate media power. The Associated Press reports: Per a preliminary vote count Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery said the overwhelming majority of its stakeholders voted in support of selling the entire busin...

OpenAI released its new GPT-5.5 model today, which the company calls its "smartest and most intuitive to use model yet, and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer." The Verge reports: OpenAI just released GPT-5.4 last month, but says that the new GPT-5.5 "excels" at tasks like writing and debugging code, doing research online, making spreadsheets and documents, and doing that work across different tools. "Instead of carefully managing every step, you can give GPT-5.5 a...
- Meta Is Laying Off 10% of Its Workforce23 April 2026, 8:00 pm
Meta is reportedly cutting about 10% of its workforce, or roughly 8,000 jobs, while closing thousands of open roles it had intended to fill. "We're doing this as part of our continued effort to run the company more efficiently and to allow us to offset the other investments we're making," said Janelle Gale, Meta's chief people officer. The company had almost 79,000 employees at the start of the year. Quartz reports: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has poured resources into building out AI capabilities,...

In an announcement, the Agence Nationale des Titres Securises (ANTS) said the data stolen in the breach could include full names, dates and places of birth, mailing and email addresses, and phone numbers on an undisclosed number...
- Tim Cook Calls Apple Maps Launch His 'First Really Big Mistake' as CEO23 April 2026, 6:00 pm
In a recent town hall meeting reported by Bloomberg (paywalled), Apple CEO Tim Cook named the troubled 2012 launch of Apple Maps as his "first really big mistake" in the role. "The product wasn't ready, and we thought it was because we were testing more of local kind of stuff," Cook told staff. MacRumors reports: Reflecting on the debacle, Cook said it was "valuable," noting that he expressed regret to users at the time and suggested they use competing navigation apps instead.

NASA's Curiosity rover has identified a diverse set of organic molecules on Mars, including a nitrogen-bearing compound similar in structure to DNA precursors. The finding strengthens the case that ancient organic material can survive in the Martian subsurface, though it does not prove past life because the compounds could also come from geology or meteorites. Phys.org reports: The study was led by Amy Williams, Ph.D., a professor of geological sciences at the University of Florida and a scienti...

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman posted an out-of-this-world iPhone video on Sunday, showing Earth disappear behind the Moon at 8x zoom. "I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view," said Wiseman, noting that this video is "uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom" and "quite comparable to the view of the human eye." The New York Times says the video marks the first time an "Earthset" has been captured on video.

- Voyager 1 is Running Out of Power. NASA Just Switched Part of It Off19 April 2026, 11:49 pm
After 49 years of space travel, Voyager 1 "is running out of power," reports NPR:
The spacecraft runs on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator — a device that converts heat from decaying plutonium into electricity. It carries no solar panels, no rechargeable batteries. Just the slow, steady release of nuclear warmth, which diminishes by about 4 watts each year. After nearly five decades, that decline has become critical.
During a routine maneuver in late February, Voyager 1's power levels...
- Pancreatic Cancer mRNA Vaccine Shows Lasting Results In Early Trial19 April 2026, 6:34 pm
NBC News reports on a 16-person clinical trial of "personalized messenger RNA vaccines" which use the immune system to fight cancer cells. "The goal is not to eliminate existing tumors, but instead to stamp out lingering, undetected cancer cells, and later any new cells that form before they can cause a recurrence."
Patients still have surgery to remove tumors. After that, the mRNA vaccines are personalized for each individual using genetic material taken from their unique tumor cells. In the cl...

- Fructose Isn't Just Sugar. It Acts More Like a Hormone18 April 2026, 5:34 pm
Slashdot reader smazsyr writes: A new review says we've had fructose wrong for decades. The nine authors, led by Richard Johnson at the University of Colorado Anschutz, argue that fructose "is not just another calorie." It is a signal. It tells the liver to make fat and brace for a famine that never comes. That made sense for a bear fattening up on autumn berries. It makes less sense for a person drinking soda in March.
The review reframes the WHO's sugar guideline, argues ScienceBlog.com, as ...

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...

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:

- dovecot >= 2.4 requires manual intervention31 October 2025, 9:20 pm
The dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result

configuration file was migrated, requiring manual intervention.

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.

- 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...
