everything. It has extensive packaging
guidelines that deal with the complexities of creating RPMs to install
software, as well as processes for managing the legal questions that
arise around shipping software. Fedora also has a well-defined change
process for dealing with self-contained technical changes as well as major
changes to the distribution, and other issues as they arise. At the m...
- Catanzaro: Some changes to GNOME security tracking20 July 2026, 3:52 pm
Michael Catanzaro, who has been managing GNOME security issue tracking since
November 2020, has written a blog post that details some changes in how he will
be managing GNOME vulnerability reports from now on due to an increase in
AI-generated security reports. He will be switching from a 90-day deadline for
disclosures to 30 days for issues reported on August 1, or later. "The
shorter deadline would probably work better for GNOME even if not for the
increase in AI-generated issue reports."

- [$] Securing BPF LSMs against tampering17 July 2026, 3:58 pm
Since 2020, BPF programs have been able to

that capability to provide more security to users. Christian Brauner

- Ubuntu’s desktop icons extension completes its GTK4 port19 July 2026, 10:04 pm
The Desktop Icons NG (aka DING) GNOME Shell extension Ubuntu uses to put icons on your literal desktop, has been busy – it finished its port to GTK4, patched memory leaks and improved a few of its lesser-known features. The GTK4 port landed in v51.0.0, released this month, alongside early support for GNOME 51 (since that’s the GNOME version Ubuntu 26.10 will ship with in October). Prior to that, there were other, smaller in June with fixes for memory leaks and buffs to usability. DING’s GT...
- This theme makes Discord look more at home on Ubuntu18 July 2026, 9:19 pm
The official Discord desktop app supports Linux but it doesn’t make much effort to fit in, which is why alternative clients are popular – not least because they can be themed. Discord GNOME Theme by developer ~ricewind012, is so named because, basically, that’s what it is: a custom theme that restyles Discord to look more like Adwaita and follow the GNOME HIG (well, as close as Discord’s CSS allows). A reminder: Ubuntu’s Yaru theme is based (heavily) on upstream Adwaita, so while this ...
- Flathub’s AI slop ban looks like it was the right call17 July 2026, 7:53 pm
When Flathub banned AI-coded app submissions last month, some critics warned the platform was denying the future by dismissing a new wave of “vibe-coded” software as out-and-out “slop”. Well, new data suggests otherwise, as nearly three-quarters of the rejected apps are already dead, existing only a few months. Linux developer Evangelos Paterakis, developer of Tuba, Turntable and others, did the digging, looking at 120 code repositories whose pull requests for inclusion on Flathub were ...
- Ubuntu 26.04 fixes trash dialog bug that defaulted to cancel16 July 2026, 3:06 pm
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is getting a fix for Nautilus that restores ‘Delete’ as the focused button in the trash confirmation dialog, undoing an accidental swap that made ‘Cancel’ the focused button instead. That ‘unintentional’ focus flip meant you could no longer hit enter to action file deletion for Trash since it instead cancelled it. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve assumed I emptied the trash since upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, only to find I hadn’t. My muscle memory has strugg...
- Firefox will update twice as often from September15 July 2026, 7:36 pm
Mozilla is changing Firefox’s release schedule from September, with new stable versions planned every two weeks instead of once a month. The faster release cadence will, Mozilla says, make the schedule more predictable and allow features and improvements which are ready to ship to do so sooner. But in its message to developers, Mozilla describes the change as an experiment, one it says it plans to “closely monitor” to make sure the impact is positive and, if needed, adjust the speed of rel...
- AppManager makes AppImages easier to install and use on Ubuntu14 July 2026, 11:00 pm
AppImages are designed to be simple. Download one, make it executable and run it. On Ubuntu, though, there’s an extra step: Ubuntu ships FUSE 3 by default, but many AppImages still rely on FUSE 2, so one has to install libfuse2t64 first. Not so with AppManager, a new(ish) GTK4/Libadwaita app. It fixes that particular annoyance by mounting AppImages through uruntime, replacing the standard AppImage runtime so apps can launch without you needing to install the libfuse2t64 package. It also han...
- Ubuntu 26.04 fixes Papers bug that sent PDF links to wrong page13 July 2026, 4:31 pm
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is prepping a bug fix update to Papers, the document viewer that replaced Evince in 25.04, resolving several annoyances – including internal PDF links that jumped to the wrong page. The internal link snafu only occurred in some PDFs, not all, and typically took you to a page one off the actual target. Annoying. The fix stops two separate bits of code that both tried to set the zoom level when links jumped to fit-width or fit-page view. A knock-on quirk also saw the alt + p sho...
- Changing Night Light’s colour temperature during the day12 July 2026, 10:48 pm
Night Light Scheduler is a new GNOME Shell extension that lets you control how warm your screen is throughout the evening (or day). GNOME’s built-in Night Light feature offers a customisable daily schedule, and lets you pick a colour temperature that’s more or less orange (which will reduce blue light emitted by your device’s display). But that temperature you set holds the entire time Night Light is switched on. It eases in and out at each end but it never changes in between. For most of ...
- Ubuntu 26.10 retires dbus-daemon after 22 year run as default11 July 2026, 1:56 am
Ubuntu 26.10 is replacing its D-Bus implementation for the first time since 2004, swapping dbus-daemon for dbus-broker – a change end-users are unlikely to notice. Processes on your desktop talk to each other and to the host system using D-Bus, a ‘message’ bus. This is what the Ubuntu Dock uses to show unread-count badges for apps, what tells your desktop a USB drive has been plugged in, and so on. Two buses are in play. There’s aa system bus, shared across the whole device, handling har...

- Building a Custom Metrics Exporter for Kubernetes14 July 2026, 6:00 pm
Kubernetes ships with built-in awareness of CPU and memory, but most
real-world scaling decisions depend on signals that live entirely outside
that narrow window: how many messages are waiting in a queue, how long
the last batch job took, how many active WebSocket connections a pod is
holding. When the built-in metrics are not enough, a metrics exporter
bridges that gap.
This post walks through writing one from scratch, packaging it as a
container, and wiring it into a cluster so that Prometheus...

- Open source maintainership in the age of AI26 June 2026, 6:00 pm
AI has really changed the game around software development.
More people are leveraging AI than ever to contribute patches to projects they use.
To me, this is a good thing as more folks will contribute patches rather than fork or not fix them.
The main problem is that AI has made generating code fast but there has been very little improvement in maintaining code bases.
In this post, we will highlight the ways the Kubernetes community is adapting to the world of AI assisted coding.

AI agents are quickly moving from demos into engineering workflows. For site reliability engineering teams, the appeal is obvious: an agent that can read alerts, inspect dashboards, query logs, correlate deploys, and summarize a likely root cause could reduce the painful first minutes of incident response.
But SRE work is different from ordinary automation. A bad suggestion in a chat window is inconvenient. A bad action in production can create an outage, delete data, or make recovery harder....
- Fix Circular Dependencies in PostgreSQL Row-Level Security With SECURITY DEFINER Functions20 July 2026, 3:00 pm
Row-level security in PostgreSQL is one of the more useful features for multi-tenant applications. The idea is straightforward: define a policy on a table that tells PostgreSQL which rows a given user is allowed to see or modify, and the database engine enforces it on every query, regardless of which application code issued the request.
The trouble comes when your policies form a cycle. This is more common than it sounds, and it produces one of the more confusing failure modes in PostgreSQL: a q...
- Security Is a Platform Property, Not a Pipeline Step20 July 2026, 2:00 pm
A few weeks ago, I disabled key authentication on an Azure storage account we used for Terraform state management. It was one of the key security recommendations in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. It made sense to use RBAC-only permissions, enforce PIM approvals for the Infrastructure team, and avoid storing static credentials in config files, where leaks are possible. This is exactly the kind of control you want for state files, which contain the keys to your entire cloud environment.
But I misse...
- The Agent Security Split: Tool Layer vs Sandbox Layer20 July 2026, 1:00 pm
When an enterprise asks, "Is your agent platform secure?", the question is almost always a bundle of two distinct architectural concerns:
Tool layer: Can the agent only call the tools we approved? Are the tool inputs and outputs validated? Are credentials kept out of the LLM's context? Are calls audited?
Sandbox layer: When a tool runs code, browses the web, or shells out — is that execution isolated from the host? Can it reach internal networks? Can it write outside its working directory?

Core schema mutations frequently force downstream enterprise clients into disruptive and unplanned refactoring cycles, stalling product velocity.
The typical industry fix — maintaining multiple, hard-coded API routes (e.g., /v1, /v2) — inevitably results in severe codebase ...
- US Police Now Armed With Israeli Spy Vans Simulating Mobile Phone Towers21 July 2026, 11:00 am
Longtime Slashdot reader schwit1 quotes an X post by Josh Walkos, author of the Substack We the Free: If you thought Flock was bad check out Falconet. Falconet from Israeli company Cognyte serves as a cell tower simulator that intercepts cell phone data from all devices within range. Police mount these systems in Tahoes so the vehicles can collect information while driving through areas without any direct interaction with targets. This mobile approach generates ongoing records of phone locations...
- Drinking 5 Cups of Coffee a Day Could Reduce Heart Risk21 July 2026, 7:00 am
A new American Heart Association scientific statement concludes that up to about 400 milligrams a day, or roughly three to five cups of plain coffee, is safe for most adults and may be linked to lower risks of cardiovascular disease. The benefits appear to depend heavily on the source and preparation, with coffee and tea looking more favorable than energy drinks, and added sugar, cream, syrups, or sweeteners potentially canceling out the upside. ScienceAlert reports: "Caffeine consumed in coffee...

sandbagger writes: Fark.com is ancient in internet terms. It's not social media. It's not quite a news site. It's a holdover from the dot-com era and is invisible to Google, which makes its community great but has necessitated begging. "[W]e won't survive this year without more TF subscribers," wrote founder Drew Curtis in a post on Bluesky. "Spread the word."
For the unfamiliar, Fark is one of the web's OG community news sites that features a wonderfully weird mix of user-submitted links, abs...

- Michael Catanzaro: Some Changes to GNOME Security Tracking20 July 2026, 1:20 pm
Due to the increase in AI-generated security vulnerability reports, it is time for some changes in how GNOME manages vulnerability reports.
These policy changes intentionally do not distinguish between reports that contain AI-generated content and those that do not. Following the same rules for all vulnerability reports is simpler than having two different ways of doing things. Reporters rarely disclose AI use, and it’s nice to not have to guess whether the...

Another week, another saturday post recaping things. 🙂
RHEL10 migrations
Bunch more things reinstalled with RHEL10 this last week. Made
some good progress. We are soon going to be down to the 'tricky'
ones that will require an outage. So, there will likely be
an outage or two in upcoming weeks to knock those out before

along fine. Of course s...

Across the various Fedora working groups, a primary shared focus is the execution of the Fedora 45 Mass Rebuild, which aligns with widespread efforts to modernize core toolchains, system defaults, and developer environments. Another major cross-team initiative is the ongoing infrastructure migration from Pagure to Forgejo, requiring coordination across FESCo, Release Engineering, Design, and Docs. Artificial intelligence and automation have also emerged as a pro...

A expedição mal tinha começado e eu já recebia um baque inesperado e surpreendente numa pequena volta guiada em Longyearbyen, entre o vôo de chegada e o embarque no navio. O guia citou o Banco Mundial de Sementes de Svalbard como a coisa mais normal do mundo. Como se ter a ideia e executar o plano de criar uma espécie de Arca de Noé da genética vegetal planetária fosse tão banal e desimportante quanto fazer o chá da tarde.

I got behind a little in my reading and a lot in my posting because of the onrush of the end of school, the beginning of summer and holiday season, and needing to give two talks. This catch-up post is a bit longer than most, but that’s partly because it represents some binge reading I did while on the beach on vacation.

- 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

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
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...

- Tesla Model Y L vs BYD Tang EV: Which 6/7-Seater Electric SUV Is Better Value in the Philippines?25 June 2026, 3:09 am
Two massive electric SUVs. Both seat six or more. Both have dual motors, all-wheel drive, and enough torque to pin you to your seat. Both are available right now in the Philippines. And both want to be the EV that finally convinces Filipino families to ditch gasoline forever.The Tesla Model Y L landed at ₱2,849,000. The BYD Tang EV has been here since 2023 at ₱3,321,000. That’s a ₱472,000 gap — in Tesla’s favor — which is not the pricing dynamic most people expected. The world’s ...

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...
