Cozystack enables the launching and provision of Kubernetes clusters, databases, and virtual machines. The platform's code […]
The QEMU project release 10.1.0 has been announced. As an emulator, QEMU allows the execution of programs compiled for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, running an application for ARM on an x86-compatible PC. In virtualization mode, QEMU's code execution performance in an isolated environment is close to that of physical systems due to direct instruction execution on the CPU and utilization of […]
The desktop-oriented distribution GhostBSD 25.02 has been released, based on FreeBSD 14 and offering builds with custom environments such as MATE, Xfce, and Gershwin. The ZFS file system is used by default in GhostBSD. Both Live mode operation and installation on a hard drive are supported (using a proprietary installer ginstall, written in Python). Boot images have been created for the x86_64 architecture (3.7 […]
In the daily updated experimental builds of Ubuntu, reflecting the development of the upcoming Ubuntu 25.10 release, the sudo-rs project, written in Rust, is now used by default instead of the sudo utility. The decision to adopt sudo-rs in Ubuntu was made in May, but it was unclear until recently whether developers would implement the necessary missing features in sudo-rs before Ubuntu 25.10 transitioned to the […]

The release of the 86Box 5.0 project has been announced, developing an emulator for x86 architecture systems, allowing the execution of old operating systems and applications, including those used in the early 1980s on IBM PC 5150 and IBM PS/2 computers. It supports precise low-level emulation of systems, from 8086 processors to Intel Celeron Mendocino. The project's code is written […]
At DEF CON 33, a method of attack on browser extensions that inject their interface elements into the viewed page was presented. Applying this attack to extensions with password managers could lead to the leakage of information stored in those managers, such as authentication credentials, credit card details, personal information, and one-time passwords for two-factor authentication. The issue affects all tested password managers, […]
