Not many people live on sailboats. Things may be better these days, but
back in 2014 sailboat dwellers had
to contend with lag-prone,
intermittent, low-bandwidth internet connections. Dominic Tarr
decided
to fix the problem of keeping up with his friends by developing a delay-tolerant,
fully distributed social-media protocol called
Scuttlebutt. Nearly twelve
years later, the protocol has gained a number of users who have their own,
non-sailboat-related reasons to prefer a censorship-resistan...

- [$] Ubuntu's GRUBby plans3 April 2026, 3:12 pm
GNU GRUB 2, mostly just
referred to as GRUB these days, is the most widely used boot loader
for x86_64 Linux systems. It supports reading
from a vast selection of filesystems, handles booting modern systems
with UEFI or legacy systems with a BIOS, and even allows users to customize the
"splash" image displayed when a system boots. Alas, all of those features come with
a price; GRUB has had a parade
of security vulnerabilities over the years. To mitigate some of those
problems, Ubuntu

- 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.

- Ensuring Data Consistency in Distributed Systems With the Transactional Outbox Pattern7 April 2026, 5:00 pm
In modern distributed systems, it is common to face the "dual-write" problem. This occurs when a service needs to perform two actions simultaneously: mutate state in a database and publish an event to a message broker (like RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, or a Pub/Sub system) to notify other services.
Because these two operations target different systems over the network, they cannot share a single, traditional ACID transaction. If one operation succeeds and the other fails, the system is left in an ...

- Beyond the LLM: Why Amazon Bedrock Agents Are the New EC2 for AI Orchestration7 April 2026, 2:30 pm
In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It was a watershed moment that moved computing from physical server rooms to a scalable, virtualized utility. Before EC2, if you wanted to launch a web application, you needed to rack servers, manage power, and handle physical networking. EC2 abstracted the "where" and "how" of compute, providing a standardized environment where code could run reliably at scale.
Today, we are witnessing a similar paradigm shift in the field...

- Planet Labs Tests AI-Powered Object Detection On Satellite8 April 2026, 7:00 am
BrianFagioli writes: Artificial intelligence has now run directly on a satellite in orbit. A spacecraft about 500km above Earth captured an image of an airport and then immediately ran an onboard AI model to detect airplanes in the photo. Instead of acting like a simple camera in space that sends raw data back to Earth for later analysis, the satellite performed the computation itself while still in orbit.
The system used an NVIDIA Jetson Orin module to run the object detection model moments a...

- Apple Faces 'Massive Dilemma' With Success of the MacBook Neo7 April 2026, 11:00 pm
Apple may have a supply problem on its hands with the MacBook Neo... The laptop reportedly relies on "binned" A18 Pro chips with one GPU core disabled, and demand is so strong that the supply of those cheaper leftover chips could run out before the next model is ready. That leaves Apple choosing between lower margins, shifting production plans, or changing the lineup to keep its $599 hit product in stock. MacRumors reports: The all-new MacBook Neo has been such a hit that Apple is facing a "mass...

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...

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...

- 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.

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:

This shared zabbix user account is provided by the newly introduced zabbix-common split package, which is now a dep...

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:

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.

No. Linux won. Decisively. Overwhelmingly.
