- [$] A trademark dispute over MeshCore29 May 2026, 4:41 pm
MeshCore is a relatively new project, started in January 2025, that aims
to build a scalable mesh network using low-power long-distance radios. While
many other projects of the same general nature have been tried before, MeshCore
grew quickly because of its more efficient message routing and enthusiastic
community. In early 2026, an early proponent of the project made a sudden shift
that left the rest of the community stunned and embroiled in a trademark dispute.

- [$] A loadable crypto module for FIPS certification29 May 2026, 2:29 pm
Many organizations require US Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
certification of the crypto code they are running. The certification
process is lengthy, but the bigger problem is that the way the crypto
subsystem is built into the kernel makes the result unable to be reused
across kernel updates. I have proposed a patch
series that decouples the crypto subsystem into a standalone
loadable module, allowing a certified crypto module to be reused with
multiple kernels and, thus, requ...
- Nesbitt: Protestware for coding agents29 May 2026, 2:09 pm
Andrew Nesbitt has written a blog
post detailing a recent incident with the jqwik library for property-based testing
in Java. On May 25, the 1.10.0 release of jqwik included a change
that attempts to instruct coding agents to disregard previous
instructions and delete jqwik tests and code.
I think this is a new class of supply-chain input worth keeping an eye
on, mostly because of how little of the existing tooling has any
opinion about it. A System.out.print of sixty-eight bytes of plain

Gentoo developer Michał Górny has written a lengthy
article explaining the philosophy and purpose of the Gentoo Linux
distribution, in response to a
thread on Mastodon:
Gentoo is a source-first distribution, which means the primary
method of installing software is to build it from source. Of course,
that doesn't mean manually building stuff, following some kind of
how-to: finding all the dependencies, installing them manually, going
through a series of magical incantations, and eventually en...

In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Amir Goldstein wanted to
discuss his proposed
documentation on adding new filesystems to the kernel. There are a
number of unmaintained and untestable filesystems already in the kernel,
which are a burden to VFS-layer developers who are trying to make sweeping
changes, such as switching to folios and the "new" mount API. Goldstein's
document is an attempt to head off the addition of filesyst...

- Raspberry Pi 6 won’t arrive before 2028 (and won’t have an NPU)26 May 2026, 4:24 pm
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 ...
- Cinnamon desktop is getting its own, native screenshot tool24 May 2026, 11:40 pm
Linux Mint developers are building a new screenshot utility for the Cinnamon desktop, ahead of its next major release. The home-grown tool will give users more options when taking screenshots and will “accommodate the differences between CSD (Client Side Decoration) and SSD (Server Side Decoration) windows” to provide ‘cleaner’ looking screenshots. Currently, Cinnamon rolls with the GTK-based gnome-screenshot. That tool works fine, but it doesn’t render shadows in windowed app screensh...
- Canonical to shut Ubuntu Pastebin after 18 years of service24 May 2026, 6:28 pm

The company is pulling the plug as part of a broader “infrastructure modernization and migration project”, according to Canonical Community Engineer Aaron Prisk. Ubuntu Pastebin works similarly to GitHub’s Gist, albeit without the revision history. It’s been available as a tool the community can use since late 2007. The service was partly launched to help the distro’s official IRC support chann...
- Ubuntu 26.10 daily builds now available to download24 May 2026, 1:14 pm
Daily builds of Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ are now available for download, as development on the distro’s next major release kicks in to gear. As the name suggests, new ISOs are produced from development code on a (mostly) daily basis, giving those keen to test October’s release in advance the ability to do so. However, because package updates can break the ability for a bootable image to be created, it’s not unusual for there to be temporary gaps between new daily builds being a...

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...

- Implementing Secure API Gateways for Microservices Architecture29 May 2026, 8:00 pm
Modern microservice architectures consist of many independently deployable services, which brings new security challenges. One crucial best practice is to use an API Gateway as a centralized entry point to enforce security policies. In this article, we explore how to implement a secure API gateway in a microservices environment and demonstrate authentication configuration with code examples.
Why Use an API Gateway for Microservices Security
In a microservices architecture, each service exposes i...
- Implementing Observability in Distributed Systems Using OpenTelemetry29 May 2026, 7:00 pm
Modern distributed systems demand observability, the ability to understand internal states from external outputs. Observability is achieved by collecting traces, logs, and metrics to improve performance, reliability, and availability. No single signal is sufficient; it's the combination and correlation of these data that form a narrative for root cause analysis.
In monolithic applications, debugging was easier since one service handled a request. In contrast, microservices distribute a request...
- 5 Common Security Pitfalls in Serverless Architectures29 May 2026, 6:00 pm
Serverless architecture removes much of the overhead costs tied to infrastructure, but it shifts security responsibilities toward code and permissions. Instead of managing servers, developers must focus on how functions interact and what they trust.
1. Over-Privileged IAM Roles
One of the most widespread issues in serverless security is the use of overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles, or the granting of functions more permissions than they actually need. The principle...

- Contract-First Integration: Building Scalable Systems With Flyway, OpenAPI, and Kafka29 May 2026, 12:00 pm
After implementing contract-first integration across three different microservices architectures, I've learned that the biggest bottleneck in distributed systems isn't technical; it's coordination between teams. When Team A waits for Team B to finish their API before starting integration work, you're throwing away weeks of productivity.
Contract-first development flips this model. By defining your integration contracts upfront (OpenAPI specs, Avro schemas, database migrations), you enable teams ...
- Chaos Engineering Has a Blind Spot. Agentic AI Lives in It.28 May 2026, 8:00 pm
Your chaos experiments passed. Your RAG pipeline is lying to you anyway.
I've watched this play out more times than I'd like to admit. A team runs a thorough chaos suite, including pod failures, network partitions, and database failovers. Everything recovers cleanly. Dashboards stay green. The team ships with confidence. Three weeks later, a support ticket surfaces. Then ten more. The AI is producing answers that are fluent, confident, and factually wrong....

- New Lawsuit Against Amazon: 'Subscribe and Save' Program Can Actually Cost You More1 June 2026, 7:34 am
Amazon's "Subscribe & Save" program — for recurring purchasees — has triggered a new lawsuit, reports Oregon Live.
"The lawsuit contends that after luring in customers with 'artificially low prices,' the world's biggest online retailer jacked up the prices in the months after their first shipments arrived."
In some cases, the lawsuit claims that customers were paying more for the exact same items through the Subscribe & Save program than they would be if they bought the items fro...

- US, Australia, and UK Plan New Unmanned Vehicles to Protect Undersea Data Cables1 June 2026, 1:08 am
"Around 570 cables (plus a further 80 planned) carry between 95% and 99% of the world's intercontinental telecommunications data," reports CNN (since fiber cables offer speeds of terabits per second, carry much more data than satellite links). And "networks of green energy cables carrying electricity are also starting to sprawl across the world's seabeds."
Now to protect them, the U.S., Australia and the U.K. "are planning to develop new unmanned undersea vehicles" as part of their trilateral ...
- 'The Oral Tradition That Built Software May Not Survive AI'31 May 2026, 10:15 pm
A historian-turned-software engineer warns that "so little is ever written down" by professional programmers in a new article for Fast Company:
Perhaps there's an early design doc, but then it turns out that everything was substantially revised before work began. Maybe there are a few wiki pages explaining known issues, some of which were solved a long time ago and others that have been left to molder in the codebase. Somebody might have left a comment in the code itself, but typically it's a ...

Axios reports:
The American Federation of Teachers, the second-largest teachers' union in the U.S., released a 10-point plan to introduce AI and screen-time guardrails in classrooms. The plan would limit AI use and ban screens for students in prekindergarten through second grade "unless there is a compelling reason," such as supporting students with special needs.
The teacher union's president Randi Weingarten warned that young students "are drowning in tech," according to the New York Times,...

- A Fundamental Principle of Aeronautical Engineering Has Been Overturned27 May 2026, 3:30 am
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Aerodynamic drag is a major "barrier" in high-speed airplanes, automobiles, and bullet trains. This is because a design with less aerodynamic drag allows the aircraft to move at higher speeds with less energy. When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the "boundary layer" is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two states: laminar flow, in which air flows in an orderly fashion, and turbulent flow, which ...

La neta, la virtualización tradicional con VMware se ha vuelto un dolor de cabeza económico para muchísimas organizaciones. Con los
cambios recientes de licenciamiento y la incertidumbre del mercado, quedarse ahí amarrado ya no tiene sentido. Pero, a final de
cuentas, dar el salto a una nube abierta no es una decisión de "copiar y pegar"; es una chamba estratégica y bien técnica.

FreeIPA es un sistema de identidad bien chingón, la neta, pero de fábrica viene muy chiquión: se monta su propia Autoridad Certificadora (CA) autofirmada y se la pasa generando alertas de "certificado no confiable" a menos que andes copiando su maldito certificado raíz en cada pinche máquina cliente. ¡Qué hueva, comp...

- Breaking changes for all users of `varnish`, which is renamed to `vinyl-cache`25 May 2026, 4:58 am
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

- kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention7 April 2026, 4:50 pm
The kea package has moved all services to run as a dedicated kea user (instead of root) for improved security. This change requires permission updates to the runtime files created by the kea services.
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
systemctl try-restart kea-ctrl-agent.service kea-dhcp{4,6,-ddns}.service

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...

pacman may display the following error failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) for the affected packages.

- 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:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
waydroid: /usr/lib/waydro...
- 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.
For guidance on the 2.3-to-2.4 migration, please refer to the

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

- zabbix >= 7.4.1-2 may require manual intervention4 August 2025, 2:58 pm
Starting with 7.4.1-2, the following Zabbix system user accounts (previously shipped by their related packages) will no longer be used. Instead, all Zabbix components will now rely on a shared zabbix user account (as originally intended by upstream and done by other distributions):
zabbix-server
zabbix-proxy
zabbix-agent (also used by the zabbix-agent2 package)
zabbix-web-service
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

Minor market action often obscures monumental architectural changes occurring deep within the protocol. Vitalik Buterin recently drew […]...

Quickly. With actual instructions on how to get it started.That email led to a blog post called “Will Real Python Hackers Please Stand Up,” which becam...

I’m writing this on a MacBook Air running macOS 26 Tahoe, and I keep glancing at my Mac Mini in the corner — the one running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.I’ve been a macOS user for a decade. I develop iOS apps. I’m neck-deep in the Apple ecosystem — iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, the whole cult membership. But last year, Apple released macOS Tahoe with its Liquid Glass redesign, and I found myself wondering: has the free operating system actually gotten *better* than the premium one?Short ans...

- 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...
