New Release: Tails 7.10.1

For example, if a malicious website that you visit is able to exploit CVE-2026-64560, they might take full control of your Tails and deanonymize you.

Arti 2.5.1 released

This release consists mostly of internal improvements and bug fixes, as well as our ongoing development towards using Arti as a relay and as a directory authority. For onion service hosts, onion services can now be configured to connect to unix socket addresses. Arti also now has experimental support for congestion control and Counter Galois Onion cryptography on onion service circuits, which we hope to make stable soon.

Tux Machines Bulletins Almost Ready

Old typewriter

THE bulletin of the site is nearly ready now. We hope it can be generated every day for years, maybe even a decade to come. It'll look something like this, for all daily entries (from the prototype we have going at the moment; there's still one show-stopping bug):

In the roughly decade and a half since the Android mobile operating system appeared on the scene it has been primarily sold on devices with an ARM core at their heart, but along the way it has also appeared for other architectures. If you had a MIPS Android phone you may have been in the minority, but Intel phones enjoyed some popularity, and the up-and-coming new kid in the world of Android is RISC-V. For anyone interested in this last architecture it's worth looking at the Google Open Source blog, in which they've published an overview of the current status of the project.

In short, it's full steam ahead - as the development environment and emulation is in place for RISC-V Android. It's certain we'll start seeing RISC-V phones on the market soon, but perhaps that's not the part which should interest readers the most. Over the last decade we have seen an explosion of inexpensive ARM single board computers, and though some of them such as the Raspberry Pi owe their heritage to set-top-box SoCs, it's fair to say that a strong driver for this trend has been the proliferation of powerful mobile chips. A take-up of RISC-V driven by Android would mean a similar explosion of powerful SoCs with those cores, leading we hope to much more accessible and powerful RISC-V computing. Sadly we expect them to still come with proprietary peripherals leading to plenty of closed source blobs, but we canât have everything.
