Collin Richards has announced version 0.0.1 of tmux-rs, a port of the tmux terminal multiplexer to Rust. For the [past] 6 months or so I've been quietly porting tmux from C to Rust. I've recently reached a big milestone: the code base is now 100% (unsafe) Rust. I'd like to...
The kernel project makes a strong promise to its users: the kernel ABI will not be changed in ways that break user-space code. The occasional failure notwithstanding, kernel developers do try to live up to that promise. They are handicapped by one little problem, though:...

The Netdev Foundation, which is 'a user-led effort under the supervision of the Linux Foundation, focused on financially supporting Linux networking development', has announced its existence. The initial motivation was to move the NIPA testing outside of Meta, so that more ...
Every release of the Linux kernel has lots of new features, many of which are accessible from user space. Usually, though, the GNU C Library (glibc) and tools that access the Linux user-space API lag behind the kernel releases. Geoffrey Thomas showed how Python programs can...
The copyleft-next project is an effort to develop a next-generation copyleft license; it was covered here back in 2013 (as well as in 2015 and 2021). The project has stalled in recent years, but now Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn have announced a new effort to push...

Transparent huge pages (THPs) are, theoretically, supposed to allow processes to benefit from larger page sizes without changes to their code. This does work, but the performance impacts from THPs are not always a benefit, so system administrators with specific knowledge of...
The extensible scheduler class ('sched_ext') allows the loading of a custom CPU scheduler into the kernel as a set of BPF functions; it was merged for the 6.12 kernel release. Since then, sched_ext has enabled a wide range of experimentation with scheduling algorithms. At...
