- [$] Ripping CDs and converting audio with fre:ac8 April 2026, 3:40 pm
It has been a little while since LWN last surveyed tools for managing a digital
music collection. In the intervening decades, many Linux users have moved on to
music streaming services, found them wanting, and are looking to curate their own
collection once again. There are plenty of choices when it comes to
ripping, managing, and playing digital audio; so many, in fact, that it can be a
bit daunting. After years of tinkering, I've found a few tools that work well for
managing my digital library...

On March 31, Kees Cook shared
a patch set that represents the culmination of more than a year of work
toward eliminating the possibility of silent, unintentional integer overflow in
the kernel. Linus Torvalds was
not pleased with the approach, leading to a detailed discussion about the
meaning of "safe" integer operations and the design of APIs for handling integer
overflows. Eventually, the developers involved reached a consensus for a
different API that should make handling overflow errors ...

intermittent, low-bandwidth internet connections. Dominic Tarr
decided
to fix the problem of keeping up with his friends by developing a delay-tolerant,

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

- 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.
This post offers my recommendations for good practices applicable to existing Kubernetes environments with minimal tooling changes:

If your Lovable application uses Lovable Cloud, a common choice is to migrate your data to Supabase. Supabase is a popular Backend-as-a-Service platform based on PostgreSQL. It has a reasonable free tier and it offers baked-in solutions for auth, serverless code execution (Edge Functions), real-time database change n...
- Accelerating Your Software Engineering Career With Open Source and Jakarta EE8 April 2026, 11:00 pm
For decades, software engineering followed a relatively predictable path: learn the language, master the tools, deliver results, and progress. That model is quietly breaking.
Today, engineers are expected to do more than build systems — they are expected to influence decisions, communicate across teams, and demonstrate impact beyond their immediate environment. Yet most career advice still focuses solely on improving technical skills....
- Enterprise Java Applications: A Practical Guide to Securing Enterprise Applications with a Risk-Driven Architecture8 April 2026, 11:00 pm
Enterprise Java applications still serve business-critical processes but are becoming vulnerable to changing security threats and regulatory demands. Traditional compliance-based security methods tend to respond to audits or attacks, instead of stopping them. This paper introduces a risk-based security architecture, which focuses on protection according to the impact of the business, the probability of the threat, and exposure. The threat modeling, dependency risk analysis, and layered security ...
- MCP + AWS AgentCore: Give Your AI Agent Real Tools in 60 Minutes8 April 2026, 2:30 pm
If you've been building with AI agents, you've probably hit the same wall I did: your agent needs to do things — query databases, call APIs, check systems — but wiring up each tool is a bespoke integration every time. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) solves this by giving agents a standard way to discover and invoke tools. Think of it as USB-C for AI tooling.
The problem? Most MCP tutorials stop at "run it locally with stdio." That's fine for solo dev work, but it falls apart the moment you ...
- Content Security Policy Drift in Salesforce Lightning: Engineering Stable Embedded Integration Boundaries8 April 2026, 2:00 pm
A global case management system depends on a telephony surface to bind a live call to a customer record. When a call arrives, an external CTI frame loads inside Lightning, identifies the caller, resolves the account, and anchors the interaction to an open case. That binding is logged, audited, and later referenced by downstream analytics and compliance reviews. The desk assumes that if the page renders and the integration was validated during implementation, the identity chain will hold for the ...
- Anthropic Loses Appeals Court Bid To Temporarily Block Pentagon Blacklisting9 April 2026, 11:00 am
A federal appeals court denied Anthropic's bid to temporarily block the Pentagon's blacklisting, meaning the company remains shut out of Defense Department contracts while the case continues, even though a separate court has allowed other federal agencies to keep using Claude for now. CNBC reports: "In our view, the equitable balance here cuts in favor of the government," the appeals court said in its decision. "On one side is a relatively contained risk of financial harm to a single private com...

A $500,000 "Survivor"-style corporate retreat for 120 Plex employees in Honduras "turned into a week-long disaster involving illness, wild animals, armed guards, and employees stranded on a remote island," reports the Daily Beast. The CEO was bedridden by E. coli, staff were collapsing in brutal heat during Navy SEAL-led drills, there were fire ant attacks, uncooked food, and failing utilities. At one point, a porcupine even crashed through the ceiling of a guest's room. Here's an excerpt from t...

Plants, toads, and mushrooms "can all produce psychedelic substances," writes ScienceAlert.
"And now their powers have been combined in one plant."
[S]cientists have taken the genes these organisms use to make five natural psychedelics and introduced them into a tobacco plant ( Nicotiana benthamiana), which then produced all five compounds simultaneously. As interest grows in psychedelics as potential treatments for illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, the newly developed system...
- '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...

Or, alternatively, he has speculated, you ...
- Quadratic Gravity Theory Reshapes Quantum View of Big Bang31 March 2026, 11:00 am
Researchers at the University of Waterloo say a new "quadratic quantum gravity" framework could explain the universe's rapid early expansion without adding extra ingredients to Einstein's theory by hand. 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...

I want to say up front that the point of this post is not to disparage Trivy or its maintainers. They’ve had a rough few weeks and I feel for them. I only discuss Trivy as a recent example of a bad day at the office.
The saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” always felt a little gross to me. There are a lot of reasons you might get noticed that are bad, and it should feel bad to do bad things. But maybe there’s something to it. If you hand...
- Rénich Bon Ćirić: Howto: a very nice way of organizing your bash env variables and settings8 April 2026, 1:30 am
So, I know you have either ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile in your installation. We all do. And many apps
we use on a daily basis use those. Plus, you like your aliases, your own env variables and maybe even one or two bash functions
you like to use.
That creates a problem. You have everything in a single file (or two) and you have a mess. It's hard to read, hard to organize and a
single mistake renders that file useless. Well, maybe not useless, but...

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

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...

- 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:

- 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.

Furthermore, the dovecot 2.4 branch no longer supports their
replication feature, it was removed.

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.

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.
