- GCC 16 Produces Faster Binaries Than GCC 15, Competitive Race With LLVM Clang 2213 May 2026, 1:45 pm
GCC 16.1 released at the end of April as the latest major, annual feature release to the GNU Compiler Collection. Early benchmarks showed some nice leads for GCC 16 over GCC 15. Continued testing of the new GCC 16 compiler has continued to show overall better performance of the resulting binaries than using GCC 15 on the same hardware and same compiler flags. That led many to wonder about the GCC 16 performance up against the latest LLVM/Clang open-source compiler, which is the focus of today's ...

- [$] Friction in Fedora over AI developer desktop initiative13 May 2026, 4:05 pm
A push by Red Hat employees to create a Fedora "AI Developer
Desktop" with support for out-of-tree kernel drivers and AI toolkits
has been met with objections from some long-time members of the Fedora
community. After more than a month of sometimes heated discussion, the
Fedora
Council had voted
to approve the initiative; however, a last-minute change to vote against the
proposal by council member Justin Wheeler has (at least temporarily)
sent it back to the drawing board....
- Yet another Dirty Frag type vulnerability: Fragnesia13 May 2026, 3:26 pm
Sam James has sent an announcement
to the OSS Security mailing list about another
local-privilege-escalation (LPE) exploit in the same class as Dirty Frag, called
"Fragnesia". From the disclosure:
This is a separate bug in the ESP/XFRM from dirtyfrag which has received its own patch. However, it is in the same surface and the mitigation is the same as for dirtyfrag.
It abuses a logic bug in the Linux XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem to
achieve arbitrary byte writes into the kernel page cache of read...
- [$] Managing pages outside of the direct map13 May 2026, 2:20 pm
When Brendan Jackman proposed
a session for the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, his topic was "a
pagetable library for the kernel". During the actual
memory-management-track session, though, he stated that the idea had
"fizzled" and he was going to cover related topics instead. What
resulted was a session on ways to efficiently manage pages that are not
present in the kernel's direct map....
- [$] Revisiting mshare13 May 2026, 1:19 pm
Linux can share memory between processes, but each process (almost always)
has its own set of page tables. In situations where vast numbers of
processes are sharing a memory region, the combined size of the page
tables can exceed that of the shared memory itself. There has, thus, long
been an interest in enabling unrelated processes to share page tables
referring to shared memory. Anthony Yznaga is the latest developer to try
to push this idea (known as "mshare") forward; he described the sta...

- [$] Using dma-bufs for read and write operations12 May 2026, 5:25 pm
The kernel's dma-buf
subsystem provides a way for drivers to share memory buffers, usually
in order to support efficient device-to-device I/O. At the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Pavel Begunkov, assisted
by Kanchan Joshi, led a joint session of the storage and memory-management

- [$] Scaling transparent huge pages to 1GB12 May 2026, 1:24 pm
As a general rule, when developers talk about huge pages, they are
referring to PMD-level pages that are 1MB or 2MB in size, depending on the
CPU architecture. Most CPUs can support other huge-page sizes, though. On
x86 systems, PUD-level huge pages hold 1GB of data. Providing such large
pages transparently to processes has generally not been considered as
either feasible or desirable, but Usama Arif is trying to change that
assessment. At the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Managemen...

- Fix HEIC images not loading in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS11 May 2026, 10:00 pm
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...

- gThumb is barely recognisable in its GTK4/libadwaita port3 May 2026, 2:25 pm
gThumb, the open-source image viewer and organiser, has been rewritten in Vala and ported to GTK4/libadwaita – and compared to the old UI, it’s barely recognisable. An alpha build of gThumb 4.0 is available for testing. Alongside the visual revamp, this brings support for WEBP and PNG animations, lets you export images in the JXL format and includes a censor filter to pixelate or blur out parts of an image. But it’s the visual changes that mark this update out. Sure, any port from GTK3 to ...

- 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.

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.

- AI Agents Expose a Design Gap in Microservices Resilience Architecture13 May 2026, 8:00 pm
Most teams deploying AI agents focus their attention on prompt engineering, tool design, and LLM reliability. What receives far less attention is the microservices architecture that those agents operate against, carefully built and hardened long before any agent existed.
That architecture rests on assumptions that have held true for years. The services and clients making requests are finite and well understood. Traffic patterns are predictable. Call sequences are bounded. Retry behavior is contr...

The ATM Didn't Kill Bank Tellers' Jobs
There's a story economists love to tell about ATMs and bank tellers. You've probably heard it. When ATMs were introduced in the 1970s, everyone predicted they would eliminate teller jobs. They didn't. By the 2000s, there were actually more tellers than before the ATM existed. The story became a load-bearing parable for anyone who wanted to argue that technology doesn't kill jobs, cited by economists like Daron Acemoglu and David Autor, by tech executives li...
- Spec-Driven Integration: Turning API Sprawl Into a Governed Capability Fleet for AI13 May 2026, 3:00 pm
Most enterprises are not short on APIs. The average organization runs more than a thousand SaaS applications and tens of thousands of internal endpoints, with AI-related API traffic growing faster than any other category. The problem isn't supply — it's that nobody can reliably find, govern, or safely reuse what already exists. And now there's a new layer of consumers showing up at the door: copilots and agents that want to call all of it, often in unpredictable patterns, sometimes a thousand ...
- AWS Kiro: The Agentic IDE That Makes Specs the Unit of Work13 May 2026, 2:30 pm
The agentic IDE space has gotten crowded fast. Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf — they all share the same core model: you type a prompt, the AI writes some code, you iterate. It works well for prototyping. It breaks down when you're building production systems on a large codebase with a team of more than one.
AWS Kiro takes a different bet. Instead of chat-first, it's spec-first. The unit of work isn't a prompt — it's a structured specification that the agent uses to plan, implement, v...
- How to Build and Optimize AI Models for Real-World Applications13 May 2026, 2:00 pm
Unlike other years, building an artificial intelligence model is now simple for developers using well-defined architectures, pre-trained AI models, and a wealth of training resources. Developers can build trained models with accurate capabilities in the lab.
But implementing these same trained models in the real world is extremely difficult. Trained models perform differently when transitioning from the lab to production. Factors like inconsistent data, latency, insufficient compute resources, a...
- How to Test a PATCH API Request With REST-Assured Java13 May 2026, 1:30 pm
Testing is an essential step in the API development process to ensure that APIs are working correctly. There are multiple HTTP methods in RESTful APIs, including POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. In our earlier articles, we learned how to perform automated testing of POST, PUT, and GET APIs using Rest-Assured Java.
In this tutorial article, we will discuss and cover the following points:...
- The Cost of Knowing: When Observability Becomes the Outage13 May 2026, 1:00 pm
There's a particular kind of smugness that infects teams with mature observability stacks. Dashboards everywhere. Latency percentiles, error budgets, trace waterfalls with microsecond resolution — the whole cathedral. And then the AWS bill arrives and someone in finance flags a line item that's larger than the EC2 spend, and suddenly the cathedral looks less like engineering excellence and more like a money furnace nobody was watching.
This is not a hypothetical....

- Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains13 May 2026, 9:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: On Reddit, Hacker News and other places where people in software development talk to each other, more and more people are becoming disillusioned with the promise of code generated by large language models. Developers talk not just about how the AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes. M...
- Windows Update Is Getting Automatic Rollbacks For Faulty Drivers13 May 2026, 8:00 pm
Microsoft is adding a Windows Update feature called Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery that can automatically roll back faulty drivers to a previously known-good version without waiting for hardware makers or users to fix the problem manually. PCWorld reports: The way faulty drivers work today is that the hardware partner is responsible for pushing an updated driver, or the end user is responsible for manually uninstalling the problematic driver. "This creates a gap where devices may remain on a lo...

- Harvard Votes On Limiting 'A' Grades13 May 2026, 4:00 pm
Harvard faculty are voting on a proposal (PDF) to curb grade inflation by limiting solid A grades to 20% of students in a class, plus four additional A's per course. Axios reports: Grade inflation is at a tipping point at Harvard. A move to make A grades harder to come by at one of the world's leading universities could influence grading debates at peer institutions. Solid A's account for nearly two-thirds of all undergraduate letter grades. That's up from roughly a quarter 20 years ago. More th...

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...

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...

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

- Why the Tesla Model Y L Is the Most Feature-Packed EV for Its Price in the Philippines30 March 2026, 7:16 am
If you’re a long-time reader of TechSource, you know this site has mostly been about Linux, open-source software, and all things computing. But if you’ve been following our recent comeback, you also know we’ve expanded into covering the broader tech landscape — AI, smartwatches, crypto, and whatever else catches my persistently curious eye. Today, we’re parking (pun intended) in a topic that’s been occupying a significant amount of my brain space lately: electric vehicles. Specifical...
- 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...
- 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. No API fees. No sending my private documents to some server farm in Virginia. Just me, a Mac Mini M1, and a free and open-source software called Ollama that has quietly become one of the most...
- Health Is Wealth: Why I Chose a Smartwatch Over a Rolex8 March 2026, 8:33 am
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...
- The State of the Linux Desktop in 2026: A Love Letter from a Prodigal Penguin1 March 2026, 1:24 pm
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. This is, after all, the same site that published 587 posts tagged “linux” — from distro reviews and desktop customization showcases to that infamous Distrowar series where I played judge and jury as two distributions fought for supremacy lik...

This is starting to feel like that friend who keeps sayi...
- 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. So if you are running one, you will essen...
