- ARM Linux Server Performance Up More Than 7x Geo Mean In 8 Years, As Much As 15x With NVIDIA Vera CPU5 June 2026, 1:44 pm
NVIDIA's Vera CPU is delivering the fastest ARM performance I have ever seen. For putting it into perspective how far the ARM server CPU hardware has come in just the last decade and for some "fun" benchmarks as part of Phoronix marking 22 years of Linux hardware reviews and benchmarking, here are some benchmarks showing the Ampere eMAG from September 2018 to the performance now with NVIDIA Vera. Not even factoring in the many software optimizations across the stack over the period, from simply ...

- [$] Moving beyond fork() + exec()5 June 2026, 2:06 pm
Since the earliest days of Unix, two of the core process-oriented system
calls have been fork(), which creates a child process as a copy of
the parent, and exec(), which runs a new program in the place of
the current one. In Linux kernels, those system calls are better known as
clone()
and execve(),
but the core functionality remains the same. While there is elegance to
this process-creation model, there are shortcomings as well. A recent proposal from
Li Chen to add "spawn templates" to the ...
- Ruby's Bundler adds a cooldown feature5 June 2026, 12:57 pm
Version
4.0.13 of Ruby's Bundler
package-manager has added
dependency cooldowns in order to help mitigate the effect of
supply-chain attacks:
Most supply-chain attacks against RubyGems exploit a narrow window:
an account is compromised, a malicious version ships, and any
bundle install in the minutes that follow resolves
straight to it. Bundler 4.0.13 introduces cooldown, a time-based
filter that refuses to resolve to a version until it has been public
for at least N days. Releases too new to...

The Software Engineering Radio podcast has put up an
interview with graphics maintainer Dave Airlie. Much of what is in

the life of a large-subsystem maintainer.
I was talking to a few of the Rust people, and I thought: these are
very young people, these are a group of people in their 20s, maybe
30s, they are a younger cohort of developers than the people I am
normally used to dealing with. I thought there was ma...
- [$] Splicing out vmsplice()4 June 2026, 4:22 pm
The splice()
and vmsplice()
system calls are meant to improve performance for certain data-movement
tasks by minimizing (or avoiding altogether) system calls and the copying
of data. They also have a long history of security problems. The recent
flood of LLM-discovered vulnerabilities has drawn attention, once again, to
splice() and vmsplice(); as a result, they may end up
being removed altogether....

The EFF has a blog
post looking at a new bill in California that would exempt
open-source operating systems from the Digital Age Assurance Act
passed last year, but has problems of its own:
While the open source exemption, if passed, would improve the law, the
remaining amendments proposed by AB 1856 would require all web
browsers and websites to request and collect users' ages. This is an
expansion of last year's AB 1043's age-bracketing system that

- [$] Open-source security is not a solo activity3 June 2026, 3:02 pm
Over time, many open-source maintainers face the same problem: they
lack the time to do all of the work that their project needs, and no
one else is stepping up to provide adequate help. Maintainers, though,
are often reluctant to throw in the towel. The result is suboptimal
all around; the maintainer is stressed out, project quality suffers,
and users face security risks that they may not be fully aware of. At
the 2026 Open

The Raspberry Pi 6 won’t be released before 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU to handle AI compute tasks. Insight into plans for the Pi 6 were shared by three of the company’s key engineers and leaders in an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. Based on past launches the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 launched in 2023. That should put the Pi 6 on course for launch in 2026 or 2027. But Raspberry Pi ...

- From 24 Hours to 2 Hours: How We Fixed a Broken BI System With Apache Airflow5 June 2026, 4:00 pm
The System Was Broken, and Everyone Knew It
Our dashboards refreshed overnight. That was the expectation. Then, one week, they started taking six hours. Then eight. On a bad day, the full 24 hours. Business users would come in on Monday morning and still see Friday's numbers.
The data was wrong, too. Not wrong in an obvious way. Wrong in the quiet way where someone in finance notices a number looks off, checks it manually, finds a discrepancy, and then stops trusting the system. That is the wors...
- Observability for Agents and Workflows: Tracing Prompts, Tool Calls, and Business Outcomes End-to-End5 June 2026, 3:30 pm
AI agents have come a long way. They aren’t just answering simple questions, but they’re handling order checks, summarizing support tickets, updating records, routing incidents, approving requests, and even calling internal tools. As these agents slip deeper into real business workflows, just peeking at model logs isn’t enough. Teams need to see everything: what the agent did, why it did it, which systems it poked, and whether the end result actually helped the business.
Agent Observabilit...
- Is the Data Warehouse Dead? 3 Patterns From Enterprise Architecture That Answer This Question5 June 2026, 3:00 pm
Architectural Debate
There is a classic debate that data architects often have among themselves: how to fit a traditional data warehouse on a data lake or enterprise data platform. This article walks through the architecture evolution and describes three architecture patterns that I have implemented across enterprises to help you decide where a data warehouse fits in a modern data platform.
The data warehouse acted as a single source of truth that finance, retail, and operations teams could trus...

- Why Round-Robin Won't Save You: Load Balancing Challenges in Data Streaming Services With Heterogeneous Traffic5 June 2026, 2:00 pm
If you've ever run a data streaming service that handles more than one type of workload, you've probably hit a wall that no amount of round-robin tuning can fix. This is a common failure mode in production streaming environments. This post is about the specific ways traditional load-balancing strategies break down when your traffic isn't uniform.
I'll focus on CPU utilization as the primary example throughout, since it's the most common bottleneck in compute-heavy streaming workloads, but the sa...

There is a pattern that repeats itself across engineering organizations regardless of team size, tech stack, or industry.
A sprint ends. Features are shipped. The QA team is still writing automation for the previous sprint. The backlog of unautomated scenarios grows. Leadership asks what it would take to close the gap. The answer comes back: more engineers, more time, more tooling budget....
- Utah Residents Sue Officials Over Kevin O'Leary Data Center Plan6 June 2026, 1:00 pm
Utah residents and a progressive nonprofit are suing officials over Kevin O'Leary's planned Stratos Project AI data center, arguing that the special authority overseeing it gives unelected officials too much control over land use, taxation, public health, and local governance. The lawsuit comes as O'Leary has agreed to shrink the proposed 40,000-acre project by 75% amid mounting political and community pushback. NBC News reports: The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Utah's 3rd District Court by th...
- Scientists Find Wind Blowing From Our Milky Way's Black Hole6 June 2026, 11:00 am
After 50 years of searching, astronomers say they have finally found evidence of a long-sought "wind" blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. "Unless a black hole exists in a perfect vacuum, it must blow a wind somehow. And there is no perfect vacuum in the universe," team co-leader and Northwestern University researcher Mark Gorski said in a statement. "With new observations, this is the first time we've had a clean enough view to see the wind's ...
- Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Reaches Criticality In First Test6 June 2026, 3:30 am
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Just over a year ago, the Trump Administration issued an executive order meant to accelerate the development of nuclear power in the US. While an entire startup ecosystem has developed around the use of different -- and typically smaller -- reactor designs, only one of them has been fully licensed so far, and there are no plans to actually build any instances of that design.
The executive order directed the Department of Energy to have thr...
- The US Military Quietly Turned GPS Into a Global 'Numbers Station,' Evidence Suggests5 June 2026, 11:00 pm
A security researcher says evidence suggests the U.S. military has been using an obscure GPS message field for nearly 20 years to broadcast encrypted key-distribution data, effectively turning GPS satellites into a global "numbers station." The hidden-looking 176-bit messages appear tied to the Pentagon's Over-the-Air Distribution system for remotely updating cryptographic keys, meaning ordinary GPS receivers may have been receiving the traffic all along without anyone outside the military notic...
- Google Will Pay SpaceX $920 Million Per Month For Compute5 June 2026, 10:00 pm
Ahead of its upcoming IPO, SpaceX announced that Google will pay the company $920 million per month for access to roughly 110,000 Nvidia GPUs and related compute infrastructure. Google says the agreement is short-term "bridge capacity" to meet stronger-than-expected demand for Gemini Enterprise, while SpaceX is using deals like this and its Anthropic contract to bolster its pitch for a historic public offering. TechCrunch reports: The deal is similar in length and scope to the one SpaceX announc...

Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000 on Friday, "extending its weekly loss to nearly 20% and threatening to fall below $59,000," reports CoinDesk. Crypto was also hit by a 40%-plus plunge in Zcash after Shielded Labs disclosed a years-old bug that could have allowed undetected counterfeit ZEC creation. From the report: Now, with stocks in plunge mode -- the Nasdaq down nearly 4% on Friday -- bitcoin finds itself perfectly correlated.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Techdirt: Earlier this year Nieman Lab broke the story that major news publishers, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and USA Today Co., had started blocking the Internet Archive for fear that AI companies might scrape the nonprofit's repositories for training data. As one of the last bastions of archival history, that is, in case you're not aware, not very good for the public interest. Four months later and Nieman Lab now notes that the number o...

The UK's Government Digital Service is replacing Stripe with Dutch payments provider Adyen for many GOV.UK Pay transactions, including local authorities, police forces, and armed forces units. The three-year deal covers about 1,000 services and is meant to make payments more flexible while keeping the user experience largely unchanged. The Register reports: According to the tender notice published in February 2025, the contract covers around 17 percent of payments made through GOV.UK Pay but mor...
- BSA Lashes Out At Mandatory Open-Source Licensing5 June 2026, 6:00 pm
Longtime Slashdot reader Elektroschock writes: The American Business Software Alliance (BSA) does not consider mandatory open-source licensing to be an appropriate indicator of sovereignty. This is among the "pointed messages" they sent to the French government consultation (closed) today. "What protects Europe is the ability to govern, audit, and mitigate risk, not where a company files its corporate papers," said Thomas Boue of BSA. "Criteria of this kind raise costs, reduce access to best-in-...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 9to5Google: There's been a lot of pushback in recent months around the impact of AI data centers on local communities, with the use of water being a key issue for many. Google, in an expansion of its "water stewardship" programs, is making commitments that include replenishing more water than it uses at its data center sites. AI data centers go through a lot of water use in cooling the hardware used to power models, and Google is no exception. While Googl...

The Varnish project has renamed itself to Vinyl Cache.
We followed this rename with a new vinyl-cache package.
This upgrade results in breaking changes and users are advised to study these changes and how it affects them before following the replacement.
All references to "varnish" have been changed to "vinyl" in all binaries and directories.
At minimum, users will have to:
rename /etc/varnish to /etc/vinyl-cache
rename /var/lib/varnish to /var/lib/vinyl-cache

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/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.
Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switc...

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.
