- Stenberg: Mythos finds a curl vulnerability11 May 2026, 2:35 pm
Daniel Stenberg has published a lengthy
article on his thoughts on Anthropic's Mythos, which the company
decided was too dangerous for wide public release.
My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else
than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily
marketing. I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any
particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have
done before Mythos. Maybe this model is a little bit better, but even
if it is, it...

- [$] Providing 64KB base pages with 4KB kernels, two different ways11 May 2026, 1:35 pm
Some CPU architectures are able to run with a number of different base-page
sizes; using a larger size can often result in better performance at the
cost of increased memory use. Other architectures are more limited. At
the 2026 Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, two sessions in
the memory-management track explored options for letting processes run with
64KB page sizes when the underlying kernel does not. The first was focused
on letting each process have its own pa...
- Debian to require reproducible builds11 May 2026, 1:21 pm
Paul Gevers has slipped an interesting bit of news into a "bits from the release
team" message:
Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project, we've
decided it's time to say that Debian must ship reproducible
packages. Since yesterday, we have enabled our migration software
to block migration of new packages that can't be reproduced or
existing packages (in testing) that regress in reproducibility.
As Gioele Barabucci pointed
out, "reproducible" in this sense is limited to bui...

followed by 6.1.172 and 5.15.206 kernels. This is another round
of stable kernels to provide fixes for one of the CVEs (CVE-2026-43284)
assigned following the Dirty

for CVE-2026-43500,
though a

- [$] Forgejo "carrot disclosure" raises security questions8 May 2026, 4:30 pm
An unusual, some might say hostile, approach to disclosing an alleged
remote-code-execution (RCE) flaw in the Forgejo software-collaboration platform has
sparked a multifaceted conversation. A so-called
"carrot disclosure" in April has raised questions about the
researcher's methods of unveiling a security problem, Forgejo's
security policies, and the project's overall security posture....
- killswitch for short-term emergency vulnerability mitigation8 May 2026, 1:36 pm
It seems that we are in for an extended period of the disclosure of
vulnerabilities before fixes become available. One possible way of coping
with this flood might be the killswitch
proposal from Sasha Levin. In short, killswitch can immediately disable
access to specific functionality in a running kernel, essentially blasting
a vulnerable path (and its associated functionality) out of existence until
a fix can be installed. "For most users, the cost of 'this socket

- 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 longer preinstalls a decoder library for HEIC (though more accurately, it’s tweaked dependency chains to ensure one is no longer p...

If Canonical hadn’t burned through cash and goodwill during its smartphone detour in the mid-2010s, Ubuntu would likely still ship with the Unity desktop today – albeit in an evolved form. What would that form actually look like? Well, you don’t have to shut your eyes and imagine, thanks to Ubuntu community member Muqtxdir, who’s experiment in “re-building ubuntu’s unity shell in a wayfire session through gtk4-layer-shell and libadwaita widgetry” (sic) gives us a sideways glimpse. ...

A new beta build of Orion for Linux is available, with the v0.3 update ready for ‘broader, real-world use and feedback’, according to Kagi, the company behind it. Orion for Linux is a native GTK4/libadwaita web browser powered by WebKitGTK, aiming for feature parity with established macOS version (platform-specific features notwithstanding). It launched an alpha in early 2026 and an initial beta in March. In the months since the last beta, Kagi say Orion for Linux has “evolved into a much ...
- 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 ...
- Attack knocks Ubuntu websites, services and Snap store offline1 May 2026, 7:54 am

We also got Firefox 150 with GTK emoji picker support and split tab improvements, and a modest bug fix update to the GIMP image editor, albeit resolving an annoying on-canvas text tool quirk. Below, I list other notable Linux app releases to arrive in April. While these didn’t merit a dedicate...

Linux Mint’s switch to a longer development cycle – the next release is coming at Christmas – has a knock on effect for people trying to install it on newer hardware that requires a newer kernel. So, a solution has been found. A new set of ISO images dubbed HWE (Hardware Enablement have been published to “address compatibility issues with brand new hardware”, says Linux Mint project lead Clement Lefebvre. The new Linux 22.3 HWE image contains the Linux 6.17 kernel. The team will, from ...
- Someone got Ubuntu running on a PS5 – and played Steam30 April 2026, 2:37 am
A newly launched project lets you boot Ubuntu on a PlayStation 5 to play Steam games, though only if your console is on old enough firmware. The hack is the work of security engineer Andy Nguyen, who this week announced a public release of his ps5-linux-boot project so more people can turn their “…PS5 Phat console on 3.xx and 4.xx [Firmware] into a fully functional Linux PC gaming device”. Obviously, this is all unofficial. The project exploits a patched hypervisor vulnerability to give L...
- Enabling Ubuntu Pro in Security Center is super easy29 April 2026, 9:59 pm
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS dropped the Software & Updates utility from default installs and added Ubuntu Pro settings to the Security Center app. But is the setup experience any better? The short answer is yes, mostly. The range of options still mirrors what was found in the old Software & Updates > Ubuntu Pro tab, but the layout is less cramped, with more room for concise explanations of what each setting and toggle does. Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up-to five devices. A paid s...

- 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...
- Kubernetes v1.36: Declarative Validation Graduates to GA5 May 2026, 6:35 pm

- Kubernetes v1.36: Admission Policies That Can't Be Deleted4 May 2026, 6:35 pm
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.

- Kubernetes v1.36: Pod-Level Resource Managers (Alpha)1 May 2026, 6:35 pm
Kubernetes v1.36 introduces
Pod-Level Resource Managers
as an alpha feature, bringing a more flexible and powerful resource management
model to performance-sensitive workloads. This enhancement extends the kubelet's
Topology, CPU, and Memory Managers to support pod-level resource specifications
(.spec.resources), evolving them from a strictly per-container allocation
model to a pod-centric one.
Why do we need pod-level resource managers?

- Kubernetes v1.36: Staleness Mitigation and Observability for Controllers28 April 2026, 6:35 pm
Staleness in Kubernetes controllers is a problem that affects many controllers, and is something may affect controller behavior
in subtle ways. It is usually not until it is too late, when a controller in production has already taken incorrect action, that
staleness is found to be an issue due to some underlying assumption made by the controller author. Some issues caused by staleness
include controllers taking incorrect actions, controllers not taking action when they should, and controllers ta...
- Kubernetes v1.36: Mutable Pod Resources for Suspended Jobs (beta)27 April 2026, 6:35 pm
Kubernetes v1.36 promotes the ability to modify container resource requests and limits

feature allows queue controllers and cluster administrators to adjust CPU, memory, GPU,
and extended resource specifications on a Job while it is suspended, before it starts
or resumes running.
Why mutable pod resources for suspended Jobs?

- The Serverless Illusion: When “Pay for What You Use” Becomes Expensive11 May 2026, 5:00 pm
The pitch is seductive in its simplicity. You write a function. You deploy it. You pay only for the milliseconds it runs. No servers idling through the night, no reserved capacity gathering dust, no 3 a.m. pager alerts because a VM decided to kernel panic during a deployment window. The cloud provider handles the undifferentiated heavy lifting — their phrase, not mine — and you, liberated from operational tedium, focus on building the thing that actually matters.
I believed this. Genuinely. ...

- Stop Using Python for Your GenAI Apps, Use Go and Genkit Instead11 May 2026, 2:30 pm
For the last few years, every GenAI tutorial, framework, and “hello world” has assumed one thing: that you are writing Python. It made sense at the start. The research community lives in Python, the model providers ship Python SDKs first, and the notebook culture is hard to beat for prototyping. But there is a quiet, important shift happening in 2026: the teams actually shipping AI features at scale are increasingly moving their production generative AI (GenAI) workloads off Python, and onto...
- How to Effectively Evaluate a Ranking ML System11 May 2026, 2:00 pm
I've seen too many ranking systems evaluated on metrics that look great in papers but mean nothing to the business. The evaluation gap between research and production is real, and it costs companies millions of dollars.
The problem starts with how we think about evaluation. Most data science teams treat it as a one-time validation step. You train a model, check some offline metrics, maybe run an A/B test, and ship it. But ranking systems are different from classification or regression tasks. The...

CI/CD pipelines are the foundation of modern software delivery. Every code change, no matter how small or large, always goes through automated build, test, and deployment workflows prior to production delivery, and then becomes available to end users.
These CI/CD pipelines are connected with several systems. They are connected with different external systems, including image container registries, cloud platforms, artifact repositories, package managers, infrastructure tools, third-party applicat...
- A Data Center Drained 30 Million Gallons of Water Unnoticed12 May 2026, 3:30 am
A Georgia data center developed by QTS used nearly 30 million gallons of water through two unaccounted-for connections before residents complained about low water pressure and the county utility discovered the issue. "All told, the developer, Quality Technology Services, owed nearly $150,000 for using more than 29 million gallons of unaccounted-for water," reports Politico. "That is equivalent to 44 Olympic-size swimming pools and far exceeds the peak limit agreed to during the data center plann...
- Digg Tries Again, This Time As an AI News Aggregator11 May 2026, 11:00 pm
Digg is relaunching again, this time as an AI-focused news aggregator rather than the Reddit-style community site it recently abandoned. TechCrunch reports: On Friday evening, the founder previewed a link to the newly redesigned Digg, which now looks nothing like a Reddit clone and more like the news aggregator it once was. This time around, the site is focused on ranking news -- specifically, AI news to start. In an email to beta testers, the company said the site's goal is to "track the most i...
- CUDA Proves Nvidia Is a Software Company11 May 2026, 10:00 pm
Nvidia's real AI moat isn't "a piece of hardware," writes Wired's Sheon Han. It's CUDA: a mature, deeply optimized software ecosystem that keeps machine-learning workloads tied to Nvidia GPUs. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: What sounds like a chemical compound banned by the FDA may be the one true moat in AI. CUDA technically stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture, but much like laser or scuba, no one bothers to expand the acronym; we just say "KOO-duh." So what is this ...
- Anthropic's Bug-Hunting Mythos Was Greatest Marketing Stunt Ever, Says cURL Creator11 May 2026, 9:00 pm
cURL creator Daniel Stenberg says Anthropic's hyped Mythos bug-hunting model found only one confirmed low-severity vulnerability in cURL, plus a few non-security bugs, after he expected a much longer list. He argues Mythos may be useful, but not meaningfully beyond other modern AI code-analysis tools. "My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing," Stenberg said a blog post. "I see no evidence that this s...

Apple says end-to-end encryption for RCS messages between iPhone and Android is now available in iOS 26.5, though the feature is still considered beta and depends on carrier support on both sides. MacRumors reports: Apple says that it worked with Google to lead a cross-industry effort to add E2EE to RCS. iOS users will need iOS 26.5, while Android users will need the latest version of Google Messages. End-to-end encryption is on by default, and there is a toggle for it in the Messages section of...

Last year, the company said that during pre-release tests involving a fictional company, Claude Opus 4 would often try to blackmail engineers to avoid being replaced by another system. Anthropic later published research suggesting that models from other companies had similar issues with "agentic misalignment."

Yelp 49.1 fixes a significant Flatpak sandbox escape related to last year’s CVE-2025-3155. CVE assignment for this new issue is currently pending.
This is not a bug in Flatpak. Flatpak allows sandboxed applications to open URIs or files, meaning the sandboxed application may use a URI or file path to launch another application to open the URI or file. This is brokered via the OpenURI portal. The portal or the app may decide to require user interaction to de...

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/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:

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. 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...

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...
