The new release lands a couple of months after ONLYOFFICE suspended its eight- year Nextcloud partnership over Euro-Office, a fork by a European consortium that ONLYOFFICE says violates its AGPLv3 licence terms. Totally unrelated (yes, sarcasm), ONLYOFFICE 9.4 updates its licensing to tighten language around attribution, copyright monopoly notices and the labelling of modified versions. Viva le fork; it still permits modifications, but is more sniffy about any that use its trademarks. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Open-source_non-profit_claims_Bambu_Lab_violated license_—_SFC_steps_in_after_multi-billion_dollar_3D_printer_giant threatened_independent_developer,_issued_cease-and-desist_demand_on OrcaSlicer_fork_that_restored_cloud_printing_features⠀⇛ The SFC says that including proprietary code alongside software under AGPLv3 breaks the open-source license, and that Bambu Lab has been doing this for years. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 143 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Applications_11_Open_Source_WYSIWYG_Editors_Worth_Using_in_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Applications_11_Open_Source_WYSIWYG_Editors_Worth_Using_in_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Applications: 11 Open-Source WYSIWYG Editors Worth Using in 2026 and Audio Improvement in GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 11_Open-Source_WYSIWYG_Editors_Worth_Using_in_2026⠀⇛ These 11 are actively maintained, have real communities behind them, and cover different use cases, from lightweight inline editors to full document processors, so pick the one that fits the job. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_installed_one_free_Linux_app,_and_my_audio_sounds ridiculously_better⠀⇛ Working at home or in an office setting is a fantastic thing, but it does come with some unforeseen drawbacks. One of the major issues is the amount of time that I spend sitting behind a computer during the day. I'm a big fan of PC gaming, so when I'm done with work, I'll typically spend some time playing games with friends or diving into the latest indie games that are hitting Steam or other platforms. As expected, sitting all the time is not the best thing for you by any means. Lower back pain from slouching in a chair, or bad posture from not having a chair that is able to conform to you. Getting up at the end of the day was always one of the best feelings in the world, but now? I can do that whenever I want, even if I'm working. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 191 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Audiocasts_Shows_Reacting_to_Linus_Tech_Tips_BSD_Now_and_Raspbe.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Audiocasts_Shows_Reacting_to_Linus_Tech_Tips_BSD_Now_and_Raspbe.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: Reacting to Linus Tech Tips, BSD Now, and Raspberry Pi Podcast⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Reacting_to_Part_2_of_Linus_Tech_Tips_2026_GNU/Linux Challenge⠀⇛ Linus Tech Tips is back with Part 2 of their 2026 GNU/Linux Challenge so of course I had to react to it. In this reaction video, I go through Linus’ latest GNU/Linux experiment and share my thoughts as someone who has been daily driving GNU/ Linux for many years. * ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_664:_No_one_misses_SPARC⠀⇛ The NetBSD/FreeBSD Merge announcement, the rise and fall of SPARC, GhoseBSD 26.2 and more... * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Welcome_to_the_Raspberry_Pi_Podcast⠀⇛ Our inaugural episode takes a close look at Raspberry Pi’s next-generation microcontroller, RP2350.

Today we’re introducing a new theme built for quick posts, replies, and reblogs: the kind of writing that lives somewhere between a tweet and a blog post, on a site that’s entirely yours. If you’ve been thinking about starting your own small, private social network with friends or family, or you want a space to post thoughts freely, or to import your historical posts from Twitter, Mastodon, or Bluesky without handing your words over to someone else’s platform, this one’s for you. * ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ WordPress_"AI"_Apocalypse_Extremely_Fucking_Nigh⠀⇛ WP 7.0 was just released and apparently this is the "AI" release.

The basic idea is to keep the transport policy out of the library. You get a connected GIOStream however you want, whether that is GLib networking, socket activation, or something more specialized, and then wrap it in a VarlinkClientProtocol or VarlinkServerProtocol. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] The Virtual OS Museum ☛ The_Virtual_OS_Museum⠀⇛ This is a virtual museum of operating systems (and standalone applications) running under emulation, implemented as a Linux VM for QEMU, VirtualBox, or UTM. A custom emulator-independent launcher is provided, and all OSes and emulators are pre-installed and pre- configured. The launcher includes a snapshot feature to quickly revert broken installations back to a working state.

Since the end of last week, reports from affected users have been increasing, stating that they are confronted with error messages on the Deutsche Bahn website that suspect them of being bots and prevent further searching. For example, on Reddit, users are reporting this behavior, and a screenshot of the displayed error page can also be found there. The error code 751 is displayed, and the error message in plain text reads: “We are sorry, an error occurred during this process. Your browser's behavior resembles that of a bot.” In the specific example, this occurred on Tuesday evening, but colleagues from the editorial team had already fallen victim to this error detection on Friday, May 15th.

The USB cable is designed for makers, developers, automation enthusiasts, and cybersecurity researchers and can be wirelessly controlled from your smartphone or computer. It just looks like a normal cable, so any free USB cable that comes your way may look suspicious in the future. Hacknect specifications: Wireless SoC – ESP32‑S3 with WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.x Storage – MicroSD card slot (inside one of the USB Type- A ports) USB – 2x USB Type-A male ports (Full-speed, 12 Mbps) Features: Keystroke injection – Automated keyboard payloads using HID emulation. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ E-Fortune_Cookie_Will_Humble,_But_Never_Crumble⠀⇛ Inside you’ll find a Seeed Xiao ESP32-S3 Plus and a matching e-paper display board.

It’s wrapped up in a 3D-printed enclosure with rail mounts on the back, along with a NOS 450 TKL mechanical keyboard, offering full-travel keys in a compact layout. The 10.1″ IPS touchscreen display is mounted on sliding rails to cover the keyboard when it’s not needed. A smattering of buttons live around the screen, in a manner akin to so many industrial controllers. On either side, the deck has large grab handles, with one side featuring custom horizontal and vertical scroll controls, while the other rocks a trackball. Power is via NP-F batteries, which are more commonly used to run Sony camcorders. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Transforming_Lamp_Built_With_LED_Filaments⠀⇛ If you’re unfamiliar with filament LEDs, they’re basically thin plastic filaments stuffed with lots of individual LEDs that are very close together.

Flipper One is an open Linux platform you can build almost anything on: from a 5G-enabled IP network analyzer to an SDR-powered radio signal analyzer with local AI. We focused a lot on the hardware expansion system. You can connect high-speed modules to Flipper One over PCI Express, USB 3.0, and SATA interfaces. Add an SDR, a fast SSD, or a cellular modem — just plug in the right module. Flipper One comes with several network interfaces: 2x Gigabit Ethernet, USB Ethernet (5 Gbps), and Wi-Fi 6E (2.4/5/6 GHz). You can add 5G connectivity by plugging in an M.2 modem. That means you can use Flipper One as a router, a VPN gateway, or a bridge between wired and wireless networks. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Joel Chrono ☛ Nothing_deserves_brand_royalty⠀⇛ There are better products for better prices, but the creativity just won me over, their phones’ bootloader is also unlockable so that’s a plus for the day I finally decide to get into rooting and installing a rom on my phone again.

I am not a fan of the pathetic AI button on my phone that can’t be reprogrammed by default.

It works similarly to the hibernate feature you still have on Windows, saving your current OS state to the storage drive before turning the system off so it can resume where you left off when you boot it next. So instead of doing a full shutdown, Windows logs off your user session, then saves the kernel and system session state into a hibernation file called hiberfil.sys. When you boot back up, Windows loads that file instead of initializing the entire OS from scratch. This results in a system that boots up significantly faster, especially if you still have older and slower hard disk drives. * ⚓ Steve McIntyre ☛ Secure_Boot_and_CA_Rollover_-_a_heads-up_for distributions [Ed: It's not about security, it is about putting Trump and Microsoft in control]⠀⇛ § Background I'm a member of the EFI team in Debian, and I've done much of the work for Debian to support UEFI Secure Boot (SB) in recent years.

That translates into a lot of talking, and mostly doing two things at the same time, which is a skill. Not everybody can think, talk and write code; and like any other skill, practice makes perfect (or better at very least!). * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Only_17%_of_all_64-bit_Integers_are_products_of_two_32- bit_integers⠀⇛ In software programming, the product between two integers is often computed to a fixed number of bits with overflow. Consider 8-bit integers. If you multiply 127 by 127, you get back the number 1 as an 8-bit unsigned integer, with an overflow. * ⚓ Haskell ☛ Haskell_Foundation_2026_Update⠀⇛ The Haskell Foundation has been at the center of a flurry of changes, all of which I’d like to share with the community today. * ⚓ The Cyber Show ☛ Why_I_code_(Part_2)⠀⇛ I said it before; coding is like physical exercise. Code is dancing. You don't need a reason to do it. You can feel parts of your mind getting a healthy work-out as you switch between tasks like writing an awk regular expression, installing a new program, debugging a network issue, reading the documentation on a new operating system. With fitness in readiness it does not matter that the calling may never come. You hope it won't. The point is, "I like the sound of it". It makes me feel good. Some people can't imagine how any of these tasks aren't tedious "work". Why would you do anything so masochistic as to practice code and basic systems administration for any other reason than being paid a ton of money? Why do you clean your house? In truth, a lot of what we do in life is preparation for weakness and death; Saving money. Building a secure, comfortable home. Exercising. Learning and self-improvement continue to the very end. They become part of "maintenance" rather than preparation for an extrinsic purpose. They're the self discipline of an ordinary life. [...] We want a technological society, but at someone else's cost. "AI" is not just slop, it's technical sloth. It's the protest of an intelligent adult population that has grown jaded, cynical and tired of the technology it so performatively pretends to love. I think this way of slovenliness is not to "embrace" modernity but to retreat from it. Convenience is not the path of the technophile and gadget geek. "Convenience" is a rejection of technology in place of "magic". It is throwing oneself into wilful superstitious ignorance and primitivism. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_652⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_nanotime_0.3.15_on_CRAN: Coping⠀⇛ This release adjusts the package for the maybe overly hasty switch R 4.6.0 has undertaken with respect to using C++20 as a default C++ compilation standard. I am of course largely in favour of such a switch to more modern C++. But I am also cognizant of the fact that not all compilers and machines are ready. And just as I have already seen one other package fail to compile on a particular CRAN system (!!) under C++20, this package all of a sudden, and only on that same system, started to throw two (harmless) compiler warnings. We could call these erroneous as newer versions of the same compiler do not throw them but it does not matter. The decision to default to C++20 has been made, and now we live with it. But maybe some hardware platforms should be moved behind the barn. Either way, this release both adds an explicit cast to two lines that may not really need it (but this will not hurt) and also dials the compilation standard down to C++17 on one particular platform. So once again there are no user-facing changes, or behavioural changes or enhancements, in this release. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1652 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Red_Hat_Leftovers_Lots_of_Slop_Promotions.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Red_Hat_Leftovers_Lots_of_Slop_Promotions.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers (Lots of Slop Promotions)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Preventing_GPU_waste:_A_guide_to_JIT_checkpointing_with Kubeflow_Trainer_on_OpenShift_AI[Ed: Red Hat used to sell Linux, not it is a slop fondler]⠀⇛ Training a large language model across multiple GPUs for days or weeks is an expensive undertaking. A single interruption from node maintenance, pod preemption, or a hardware failure can erase hours of progress and hundreds of dollars. In our previous_article, we explored this problem in depth and introduced just-in-time (JIT) checkpointing, a capability that saves the training state the moment a termination signal arrives rather than waiting for the next scheduled checkpoint interval. We showed how this approach can save organizations over hundreds of thousands of dollars annually at enterprise scale by eliminating the vulnerability windows that make periodic checkpointing alone insufficient. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_manage_TLS_certificates_used_by_OpenShift_GitOps operator⠀⇛ The Red_Hat_OpenShift_GitOps operator 1.20.2 brings a whole new way of managing TLS certificates for Argo CD to trust. It builds upon the existing mechanisms and complements them nicely to make managing the trusted hosts, certificates, or certificate authorities (CAs) easier. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What_even_is_the_harness_in_AI? [Ed: Slop mumbling instead of Free software]⠀⇛ The structural baseline for the concept comes from Birgitta Böckeler's April 2026 article, which elegantly defines an agent as model + harness = agent. She bifurcated the stack into a builder harness (the inner runtime shipped with the tool) and a user harness (the developer's custom context). This definition built on a wave of discussion from February 2026, which included Mitchell Hashimoto's pragmatic approach to engineering AGENTS.mdcontexts, OpenAI's overview of internal harness engineering for automated deployment, and Böckeler's original summary memo. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat's_Approach_to_Keyboard_Testing_for_Web Accessibility⠀⇛ My Axe-con presentation outlined the topic and invited viewers to join me in a live demonstration of some keyboard testing practices. After the demo, I performed a quick top-to-bottom test of a real web page. Although Axe-con is over, you can still register to watch the recording. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Configure_a_split_disk_on_OpenShift_Container_Platform [Ed: Casual slop promotion]⠀⇛ The first time I watched a node run out of disk space while pulling a 6 GB GPU PyTorch image, I knew we needed a better way to handle container image storage. In my work with AI/ML teams running workloads on Red_Hat_OpenShift_Container_Platform, disk space management has become one of the most common pain points, especially as model sizes continue to grow. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Red_Hat_is_betting_on_AgentOps_to_close_the_gap_between AI_experiments_and_production [Ed: Slop hyped by LF operative in LF domain]⠀⇛ At its Red Hat Summit on Tuesday in Atlanta, Red Hat announced Red Hat AI 3.4, featuring Model-as-a-Service, AgentOps, and a metal-to-agent infrastructure for hybrid cloud, targeting production-grade AI deployments at enterprise scale. * ⚓ Red_Hat_and_Voyager_Extend_Hybrid_Cloud_Aboard_ISS⠀⇛ Red Hat and Voyager Technologies deployed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 and Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) aboard the International Space Station, extending enterprise-grade Linux and containerized cloud infrastructure into low Earth orbit. The deployment runs on Voyager’s LEOcloud Space Edge micro datacenter platform and targets AI-ready edge workloads that require in-orbit processing, lower latency, and greater operational resilience for government and commercial applications. * ⚓ CRN ☛ Red_Hat_CEO_Matt_Hicks:_Channel_Is_‘Biggest_Opportunity’_In_AI, Virtualization [Ed: Promoting slop, as usual]⠀⇛ ‘Red Hat’s biggest opportunity is with our channel, being able to make this safe, this (AI) journey,’ says Red Hat CEO Matt Hicks. * ⚓ Decisive Media Limited ☛ Red_Hat_cements_its_sovereign_credentials_with Telenet_deal_and_new_products⠀⇛ Sovereignty topped the agenda at the recent Red Hat Summit event, where the IBM-owned open-source solutions specialist made a raft of announcements, including a deal with Belgium’s Telenet Business to develop sovereign private cloud infrastructure. Telenet, which is part of the Liberty Global empire, will use Red Hat Openshift as the foundation of a “modernised” private cloud infrastructure that the business-to-business (B2B) managed service provider will pitch to its more than 10,000 business customers across Belgium, Red Hat noted in this announcement. * ⚓ Red_Hat_CTO_says_these_are_3_big_things_it’s_working_on_with_telcos⠀⇛ Verizon has been keeping a low profile recently, but that didn’t stop the operator from showing up at Red Hat Summit in Atlanta to talk up how the vendor is enabling its network transformation. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright said the vendor is helping operators with more than just network modernization. Speaking during a keynote address, Verizon VP of Technology Development and Network Planning Praveen Atreya said the operator has been working to shift to a software-centric network model. The goal is to make it move faster and be more responsive to customer needs. To enable this transition, Atreya said Verizon built a private cloud platform – the creatively named Verizon Cloud Platform – that extends from the core of its network to the edge. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1811 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (kernel, kernel- rt, and libsndfile), Debian (bind9, evince, firefox-esr, openjpeg2, pdns, and rsync), Fedora (erlang-cowlib, evince, expat, firefox, kernel, mingw-expat, mysql8.0, mysql8.4, nss, opencryptoki, pgadmin4, proftpd, python-django5, python- django6, python-dotenv, rsync, rust-nu, rustup, and strongswan), Oracle (nginx, nginx:1.24, ruby, ruby:3.3, and squid), Slackware (bind and rsync), SUSE (buildah, distribution, distribution-registry, docker, firefox-esr, helm, libpainter0, libsdb2_4_2, postgresql-jdbc, runc, and vim), and Ubuntu (gnutls28, gst-plugins-good1.0, jq, linux-nvidia, linux- nvidia-lowlatency, openvpn, rsync, and unbound). * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ Introducing_the_First_Cohort_of_the OpenSSF_Ambassador_Program⠀⇛ * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ OpenSSF_Notes_Quarter_of_Growth_with_New Members,_Added_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Security_Resources,_and_Growing_Community⠀⇛ * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Drupal_Patches_Highly_Critical_Vulnerability_Exposing Websites_to_Hacking⠀⇛ CVE-2026-9082 can be exploited without authentication for information disclosure, privilege escalation, and remote code execution. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ CISA_chief_frets_about_open-source_vulnerabilities, delayed_security_improvements⠀⇛ Acting director Nick Andersen’s comments came as a wave of malware attacks hit tech that’s publicly available for collaboration. * ⚓ Mariusz Zaborski ☛ A_Private_pkg_Repo_Behind_Mutual_TLS⠀⇛ I am a big fan of mutual TLS ("mTLS" if you prefer the shorter spelling, "client certificates" if you are describing the half a user actually touches). Strangely, I rarely see it used in the wild. That probably says something worrying about how I choose to spend free time, but they are a neat fit for small private infrastructure. Most people reach for HTTP Basic, an API token, or a VPN, and call it a day. A private pkg repository is one of those quiet little places where mutual TLS fits perfectly: a well established mechanisms, no humans typing passwords, and a server that should only answer questions from boxes I actually have access to. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cisco_Patches_Critical_Vulnerability_in_Secure Workload⠀⇛ Insufficient validation and authentication in the Secure Workload’s REST Hey Hi (AI) provide remote attackers with Site Admin privileges. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Lawmakers_from_both_parties_say_CISA_cuts_have_gone too_far⠀⇛ Reps. Don Bacon, R-Neb., and James Walkinshaw, D-Va., found rare bipartisan agreement that the agency tasked with defending civilian networks has been diminished at a moment when threats from China and others are growing. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Vulnerabilities_in_various_GTK-based_PDF_readers⠀⇛ Michael Catanzaro has disclosed a command-injection vulnerability affecting a number of GTK-based PDF readers; exploits included: [...] * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Supply_Chain_Security_Crisis:_Too_Many_Vulnerabilities, Too_Little_Visibility⠀⇛ New vulnerabilities are being discovered too fast, the time-to- exploitation is too short, and our visibility into them is largely lacking. * ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ PinTheft:_Another_Linux_Privilege_Escalation, Another_Working_Exploit,_This_Time_Targeting_Arch⠀⇛ PinTheft is a Linux LPE flaw in the RDS subsystem with public exploit code. Arch Linux users face the highest risk and should patch immediately. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Showboat_Linux_Malware_Hits_Middle_East_Telecom_with SOCKS5_Proxy_Backdoor⠀⇛ Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Linux malware dubbed Showboat that has been put to use in a campaign targeting a telecommunications provider in the Middle East since at least mid-2022. * ⚓ How_AZT_PROTECT™_Defeats_Copy_Fail,_Dirty_Frag,_and_5_other_Critical Linux_Kernel_Exploits⠀⇛ The industry is being rocked by a series of vulnerabilities that allow abuse of trusted Linux kernel or root-service data- handling paths, especially caching, copying, parsing, fragmentation, and helper-broker logic, to turn unprivileged input into privileged state changes without requiring a traditional malicious executable launch. The common theme is boundary confusion: attacker-controlled data crosses into trusted kernel or root-owned execution paths, where flaws in caching, parsing, copying, or helper authorization convert it into root-level control. AZT was designed to stop all such attacks, blocking these exploits without requiring updates, threat intelligence, or operator effort. * ⚓ InfoSecurity Magazine ☛ Nine-Year-Old_Linux_Kernel_Flaw_Leaks_SSH_Keys and_Password_Hashes⠀⇛ A nine-year-old logic flaw in the Linux kernel's process trace (ptrace) path has been discovered that could let unprivileged local users read sensitive files, including secure shell host (SSH) private keys and the system password hash, on default installations of Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu. According to new analysis from the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU), the vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-46333, has been present in mainline Linux since November 2016. Upstream patches and distribution updates are available, and working exploits are circulating publicly. * ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Chinese_APTs_Share_Linux_Backdoor_in_Central_Asia_Telco Attacks⠀⇛ For years now, Chinese state-aligned hackers have been spying on telecommunications companies in Central Asia and beyond, using a newly discovered Linux post-exploitation framework. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ 9-Year-Old_Linux_Kernel_Flaw_Enables_Root_Command Execution_on_Major_Distros⠀⇛ The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-46333 (CVSS score: 5.5), is a case of improper privilege management that could permit an unprivileged local user to disclose sensitive files and execute arbitrary commands as root on default installations of several major distributions like Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu. It's also codenamed ssh-keysign-pwn. * ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Chinese_hackers_target_telcos_with_new_Linux, Windows_malware⠀⇛ A Chinese cyber-espionage campaign has been targeting telecommunications providers with newly discovered Linux and Windows malware dubbed Showboat and JFMBackdoor, respectively. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ ThreatsDay_Bulletin:_Linux_Rootkits,_Router_0-Day,_AI Intrusions,_Scam_Kits_and_25_New_Stories⠀⇛ A token leaks. A bad package slips in. A login trick works. An old tool shows up again. At first, it feels like the usual mess. Then you see the pattern: attackers are not always breaking in. They are using the parts we already trust. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2031 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Standards_and_Sovereignty_ODF_Interoperability_and_Open_Access_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Standards_and_Sovereignty_ODF_Interoperability_and_Open_Access_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Standards and Sovereignty: ODF, Interoperability, and Open Access to Standards Documents⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ Neowin ☛ LibreOffice_bashes_Microsoft_for_"absurd"_OOXML_format_and Excel's_handling_of_dates⠀⇛ TDF claims that ODF ensures digital sovereignty since it is an open-source format that cannot be controlled by a single vendor. Any document created in this format remains the sole property of the author since no vendor can independently change the format and inconvenience users. It emphasizes that this is very different from Microsoft's OOXML structure used in Office documents, which it says is only "open" on paper, but proprietary in practice. LibreOffice's developer notes that OOXML was developed behind closed doors at Microsoft, and it is actually an insult to the community since it isn't transparent and discourages consultation, especially considering that its explainer document is over 7,500 pages long. TDF has highlighted that OOXML is not versioned and does not rely on independent standards. In fact, it alleges that Microsoft utilizes proprietary formats whenever possible. The developer has also taken a dig at Microsoft's handling of dates with OOXML. It says that OOXML is so absurd in complexity that it cannot even handle the Gregorian calendar. Excel, in particular, gets dates wrong frequently, incorrectly identifies the year 1900 as a leap year, and when it "gets dates wrong, no other software does it worse." * ⚓ Heise ☛ The_Winner_in_the_End:_Open_Document_Format_is_the_Standard⠀⇛ 20 years ago, the decisive ISO vote took place for the Open Document Format the decisive ISO vote: In early May 2006, ISO and IEC approved the format as a future international standard. ODF was then published on November 30, 2006, as ISO/IEC 26300: 2006. At the time, this seemed like a technical detail, but today it appears in a different light. Governments and authorities are once again discussing digital sovereignty, platform dependencies, and long-term archiving. Suddenly, a question that many thought had long been settled is back on the table: Who actually owns digital documents? ODF is much more than just the file format of LibreOffice. The standard originated from the idea that documents should be permanently readable, usable independently of vendors, and technically transparent. Two decades later, this approach seems remarkably modern. Many of the problems ODF aimed to solve are now, more than ever, shaping the daily lives of large organizations: proprietary cloud platforms, difficult data migrations, and the question of how information can be archived over decades. ODF was never just a technical project. The format quickly became a symbol in the conflict between open standards and closed ecosystems – and one of the most politically contentious issues in the IT industry of the 2000s. * ⚓ April ☛ Interoperability_at_the_Heart_of_Germany's_Strategic_Autonomy Policy [iophk: Interoperability == Open Standards (usually)]⠀⇛ The German federal government has approved the operational launch of a common national technology platform for German public services. This coherent system of standards appears to place interoperability at the heart of Germany's strategic autonomy policy with regards to I.T. This is an interesting approach that April welcomes, and hopes it will inspire the French strategy, in particularly to move towards the systemic use of open formats. * ⚓ EFF ☛ Victory!_End-to-End_Encrypted_RCS_Comes_to_Apple_and_Android Chats⠀⇛ With this update, conversations that take place between Apple’s Messages app and Google Messages on Android will be end-to-end encrypted by default, as long as the carrier supports both RCS and encrypted messages (you can find a list of carriers here). RCS messages are a replacement for SMS, and in 2024 Apple started supporting it, making for a marked improvement in the quality of images and other media shared between Android and iPhones. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ IP_geolocation_is_hard:_The_draft_report_from_the_IAB_workshop on_IP_address_geolocation⠀⇛ The IETF Datatracker has received the first draft of the report from the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) workshop on IP Address Geolocation. The workshop at the end of 2025 brought together researchers, protocol and standards experts, operators, and the IP geolocation providers in registry and industry, to discuss the issues. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ Open_Fibre_Data_Standard_and_the_visibility_gap_in_network resilience⠀⇛ Informal conversations among network operators from different organizations surface important themes and conversations that may not happen within their organizations. The importance of visibility in building resilient systems was an important topic of conversation at the New Zealand Network Operators’ Group (NZNOG) 2026. Recent events in New Zealand have made the relationship between visibility and resilience difficult to ignore. Cyclone Gabrielle (2023) exposed structural weaknesses in how well- deployed fibre infrastructure is understood. In several cases, what appeared to be diverse paths were, in reality, closely coupled, following the same transport corridors or sharing common physical risks. This is not a new problem, but it is becoming more impactful as our societies become more connected. * ⚓ LLVM Discussion Forums ☛ [RFC]_Open_Access_to_Standards_Documents⠀⇛ Roughly speaking, under the usual ISO and IEC rules, all committee-related documents are only accessible to committee members or other members of their organization. There was an historical experiment run by JTC1, the committee within ISO which is responsible for technology-related standards, to open access to committee documents. This experiment was successful but was never finalized with ISO, so the documents were left freely available in practice but ISO had expected access to be closed off again. Fast forward about 30 years later: ISO realized there were far more documents with open access than they thought and so they’re trying to close off all access to those documents moving forward. JTC1 has been working to convince ISO and IEC about the importance of open access for several years now, and as part of that conversation, ISO is seeking testimonials from companies and open source organizations on the importance of open access to standards documents. The documents in question are: working drafts, committee drafts, and proposals (N-numbers documents, but also potentially P-numbered papers including things like issues lists and defect reports); other documents such as meeting minutes, agendas, and committee policies will become closed access and the final version of the standard will remain closed access as it is today. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2206 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Octopus_in_the_Pacific_Ocean⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Techrights_and_Tux_Machines_Subjected_to_Cyberattacks_for_Several Weeks⠀⇛ In the past I spoke to the cybercrime unit of British Police.

How_to_Use_Wine_on_FunOS⠀⇛ Once you have installed Wine on FunOS, a massive library of backdoored Windows applications becomes available directly on your GNU/Linux desktop. Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running backdoored Windows applications natively without needing a resource-heavy virtual machine or a dual-boot setup. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Selective_HTTP_Proxying_in_Linux,_(Thu,_May_21st)⠀⇛ Recently, Rob wrote_about_a_tool,_Proxifier, that can intercept requests from specific processes. Proxifier is available for Windows, macOS, and Android. But I have not seen a generic GNU/ Linux option yet. The advantage of a tool like Proxifier is the ability to target specific software. For debugging, reverse engineering, and similar tasks, selecting a specific process is quite useful, as it creates less noise to sift through and simplifies analysis. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ ss_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for listing sockets, listening ports, connection states, and process owners with the ss command * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ Docker_Networking:_Connect_Containers⠀⇛ Docker networking controls how containers communicate.

It focuses on simplicity, low resource usage, and a clean desktop experience using the JWM window manager. However, like any GNU/ Linux distribution, FunOS is not perfect and may not suit every type of user. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_announces_fully_Managed_Kubeflow_AI_operations platform_on_the_Microsoft_Azure_Marketplace [Ed: Microsoft Canonical is working for Canonical, it's a slop company without a backbone]⠀⇛ Upstream Kubeflow is a powerful tool for machine learning, but it remains notoriously challenging to deploy and maintain. Organizations often find that their high-value data science teams waste a considerable portion of their capacity on infrastructure maintenance. Day-2 operations, such as manual upgrades and complex security patching, frequently stall model delivery and inflate operational costs. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Developing_web_apps_with_local_LLM_inference [Ed: Canonical peddling slop, just like its master, Microsoft]⠀⇛ I’ve yet to meet a developer that enjoys working with metered AI APIs. The need to pay for every API call in development works in direct opposition to the ethos of rapid iteration, and it’s easy for the costs to get out of hand. That’s why Canonical has created a different approach to building AI- powered applications; one where the model lives inside your app, not behind a pay-per-token HTTP call. This post walks through the ideas behind Embedded AI – integrating local LLM inference directly into your app – and demonstrates those ideas in practice on the NVIDIA DGX Spark. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ PinTheft_Linux_kernel_vulnerability_mitigation⠀⇛ The vulnerability is a reference count bug that allows poisoning the page cache with malicious contents, similar to Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) or Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195). * ⚓ Qualys ☛ CVE-2026-46333:_Local_Root_Privilege_Escalation_and_Credential Disclosure_in_the_Linux_Kernel_ptrace_Path⠀⇛ The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered and published the full advisory for CVE-2026-46333, a logic flaw in the Linux kernel’s __ptrace_may_access() function that permits an unprivileged local user to disclose sensitive files and execute arbitrary commands as root on default installations of several major distributions. The bug has resided in mainline Linux since November 2016 (v4.10-rc1). Upstream patches and distribution updates are already available. Working exploits are circulating publicly, and administrators should apply vendor kernel updates without delay. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2708 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Vivaldi_8_0_Web_History_and_Announcing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Vivaldi_8_0_Web_History_and_Announcing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers: Vivaldi 8.0, Web History, and Announcing Web Serial Support in Firefox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Vivaldi_8.0_released_with_‘biggest_design_overhaul, ever’⠀⇛ A bold new look arrives in Vivaldi 8.0, the latest update to the Chromium-based web browser. The browser’s main UI elements (the bits that make a browser looks like a browser, so tabs, toolbars, panels, and content) drop their boundaries to form a continuous look. Hence the named Unified. Similar to Zen Browser, the canvas for web content is now ‘framed’ with rounded corners, rather than web pages flowing fully from edge- to-edge. * ⚓ Ghacks ☛ Vivaldi_8.0_Launches_With_Unified_Design_and_No_AI_Features, Free_for_Windows,_macOS,_and_Linux⠀⇛ Vivaldi 8.0 is launching may 20th at 9 AM CET as a free download for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The update focuses on a new Unified design that combines browser toolbars, tabs, side panels, and other interface elements into a single seamless surface around the web content. Unlike many recent browser releases, this version does not introduce new AI features, such as AI search, summaries, or chatbots. * ⚓ [Old] The History of the Web ☛ Timeline_-_The_History_of_the_Web⠀⇛ * ⚓ Joost de Valk ☛ What's_a_visitor_in_the_age_of_AI?_·_Joost.blog⠀⇛ My own server-side bot logs told me something different. They counted 1,777 bot crawls over the same window. 536 of those came from a specific category I want to talk about: on-demand AI bots like ChatGPT-User (487) and Claude-User (49). So which number is true? Was it 254 visitors, or closer to 800? Or somewhere in between? Or neither? * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Notes_on_respectfully_getting_a_personal_copy of_a_website's_contents⠀⇛ Having accumulated your list of URLs, it's time to start fetching them, respectfully. Respectful fetching means doing two things: working slowly, and having an honest HTTP User- Agent. Working slowly means that getting a full copy will take a significant amount of time, but unless you think the website is going to go away tomorrow, you have that time. By 'slowly' I mean a request rate of one every 30 seconds or every minute, and if you get HTTP 429s or other indications of rate limits, you should slow down, even if you think this is absurdly slow. In my view, an honest HTTP User-Agent admits to what you're doing and optionally names the software you're using to do the fetching, because the web site operator cares much more about why these requests are happening than that you're using curl, wget, or whatever to make them. * ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ NGINX_Rift:_CVE-2026-42945_Exploited_In_Attacks⠀⇛ Cybersecurity researchers are warning that attackers have already started exploiting a newly disclosed NGINX vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-42945, just days after technical details and proof-of-concept code became public. The flaw, also referred to as NGINX Rift, affects millions of potentially exposed servers and has raised concerns across the security community due to its potential impact on core internet infrastructure. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org:_Announcing_Web_Serial_Support in_Firefox⠀⇛ § Support for Web Serial in Firefox 151 for Desktop Firefox can now connect directly to microcontrollers, development boards, 3D printers, power meters, and other serial-connected hardware from the web. Starting in Firefox 151 for Desktop, support for the Web Serial API allows web applications to communicate with compatible devices without requiring native software. Web Serial compatible devices are popular among hobbyists, hardware hackers, educators, makers, and developers with use cases ranging from home automation to hardware prototyping and 3D printing. Web Serial support makes Firefox more useful for these kinds of projects. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2832 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/You_can_t_install_Deepin_Desktop_from_the_official_Fedora_repo_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/22/You_can_t_install_Deepin_Desktop_from_the_official_Fedora_repo_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You can't install Deepin Desktop from the official Fedora repo anymore - here's why⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 22, 2026 Quoting: You can't install Deepin Desktop from the official Fedora repo anymore - here's why | ZDNET — The first time I tested Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE), it blew me away. I thought, "This new Linux desktop will finally be the open- source operating system's big breakthrough." For a while, it looked as if my prediction might come to fruition. But things took a concerning detour. Seven years ago, several YouTube videos, such as this one, reminded us that sometime around 2018, the Deepin Store was sending unencrypted requests to the Chinese equivalent of Google Analytics (CNZZ). The data sent to CNZZ included the user's browser agent and other bits of information. Deepin addressed that issue and stopped collecting data. According to Foss Linux, a forensic sweep found no evidence of active spyware in Deepin's core.
