Lucas De Marchi: Lazy libkmod compression library loading
One new feature in kmod 34 is related to lazily loading the decompression libraries. In other words, dlopen them when/if they are needed. Although it’s desired for a tool like
modinfo
to be able to inspect a .ko.xz, .ko.zst or .ko.gz module, other daemons linking to libkmod would benefit from never loading them. This is the case for systemd-udevd that will load the kernel modules during boot when they are requested by the kernel.

Mozilla ☛ Mozilla Addons Blog: Styling your listing page on AMO with Markdown
The Mozilla Add-ons team is excited to announce that developers can now style content on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) using Markdown.
From the early days of AMO developers have been able to style parts of their add-ons’ listings using basic HTML tags like
<b>
,<code>
, and<abbr>
. This has been a great way for developers to emphasize information or add character to their listings. This feature has, unfortunately, also been a common source of mistakes. It’s not unusual to see HTML tags in listings due to closing tags, typos, or developers trying to use unsupported HTML elements.To address this common source of errors and to better align with other tools that developers use, Mozilla has replaced AMO’s limited HTML support with a limited set of Markdown.
