At the recently concluded Maintainers Summit, it was generally agreed that the Rust experiment would continue, and that the path was clear for more Rust code to enter the kernel. But the high-level view taken at such gatherings cannot always account for the difficult details ...
Mozilla has released Firefox versions 131.0.2, ESR 128.3.1, and ESR 115.16.1. These updates address a severe, remotely exploitable code-execution vulnerability that is evidently already being exploited. Updating to a fixed release seems like a wise thing to do.
Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.11.3, 6.10.14, 6.6.55, and 6.6.56 stable kernels. The 6.6.56 release fixes a problem with building perf in 6.6.55; 'If you do not use the perf tool in the 6.6.y tree, there is no need to upgrade.'. Meanwhile, 6.10.14 is...

The Julia project has released version 1.11.0. A separate blog post covers some of the highlights. The release includes a number of helpful features. In previous Julia versions, there was no 'programmatic way' of knowing if an unexported name was considered part of the...

In the early days of open source, it was a struggle to get companies to accept the concept and trust its development model. Now, companies have few qualms about using it, but do tend to take open source and those who maintain it for granted. The struggle now is to find ways...
Alice Ryhl has been working to enable tracepoints — which are widely used throughout the kernel — to be seamlessly placed in Rust code as well. She spoke about her approach at Kangrejos. Her patch set enables efficient use of static tracepoints, but supporting dynamic...

The recent WordPress controversy is not the first time there's been tension between the WordPress community, the interests of Automattic as a business, and Matt Mullenweg's leadership as WordPress's benevolent dictator for life (BDFL). In particular, Mullenweg's focus on...

The core of the Android operating system, as represented by the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), can only be considered one of the most successful open-source initiatives ever created; its user count is measured in the billions. But few would consider it to be a truly...

Linus has released 6.12-rc2 for testing. Anyway, this isn't one of the small rc2's. But looking at historical trends, being a bigger rc2 isn't _that_ unusual, and nothing in here looks all that odd. Yes, the diffstat may look a bit unusual, in that we had a global header...

Akamai released a report pointing out that the recently-reported CUPS vulnerability (original disclosure) could be used to drive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks as well. Even if an attacker cannot gain remote control over a computer, they can still cause it to ...
