Apple has introduced Apple Container 1.0, a program that allows running Linux containers directly on macOS.

Posted on

The project is an evolution of a previously open solution that the company showcased about a year ago as an alternative to classic container platforms like Docker. Essentially, it is a CLI utility that allows you to create, run, and publish OCI-compatible containers, with integration into macOS and its own method of launching them. Since macOS does not support Linux containers directly, Apple implemented a lightweight approach […]

Calibre 9.11

Version 9.11 of Calibre has been released — a free e-book manager that combines a library, viewer, format converter, and news source downloader. The release date is July 2, 2026, with the main change being the ability to export annotations as a separate HTML page that can be opened in any browser. Change log: Export annotations to HTML — selections and notes can now be […]

BSDun has been published, a module for running FreeBSD executable files in Linux.

Posted on

The BSDun project has been launched, developing a module for the Linux kernel that allows recognizing, loading, and executing unmodified ELF executable files built for FreeBSD in Linux. An emulated FreeBSD environment, placed in the /compat/freebsd directory, is used for execution. Overall, the project serves as a complete opposite of the FreeBSD Linuxulator. The code is distributed under the GPLv2+ license and was written with the assistance of the AI assistant Claude Code. While […]

The Linux kernel intends to discontinue support for older ARM platforms, the EFS file system, and 32-bit MSR interfaces.

Posted on

Arnd Bergmann, responsible for kernel packages in SUSE, has made a second attempt to clean the Linux kernel of code supporting obsolete ARM platforms that are rarely used and hinder the maintenance of relevant subsystems. The first attempt was made in August 2024 but stalled despite kernel developers' agreement to proceed with the cleanup in 2025 or 2026 […]

Mageia 10

Posted on

Almost 3 years after the release of Mageia 9, Mageia 10 has finally arrived. Major innovations include: Kernel 6.18, Mesa 26.0, X.Org 21.1, Wayland. For 32-bit: a processor with SSE2 is required, support is limited. Design: new high-resolution wallpapers (up to 4K) in JXL format. Installation: timezone request at the start (for correct signature verification), support for Wi-Fi (from beta version), improved […]

Carbon, the engine of EVE Online, has become open source

Posted on

Fenris Creations, formerly known as CCP Games, has released the source code of Carbon — its proprietary engine that powers EVE Online and EVE Frontier. The official Carbon website describes it as a cross-platform framework for creating vast virtual worlds, where key components can be examined, utilized, and enhanced by the community. Not just one demo module, but a set of repositories from the CARBON Engine organization has been made available on […]

The return of the cp utility to Ubuntu from Rust Coreutils caused a failure when building livecd-rootfs

Posted on

Ubuntu developers have reverted the cp utility from the GNU Coreutils set after discovering incompatibilities with the cp implementation from Rust Coreutils, which caused errors in the building script for Live images (livecd-rootfs). In the Ubuntu 24.04 release, due to identified vulnerabilities, the cp, mv, and rm utilities were restored from GNU Coreutils, but in the updated coreutils-from-uutils package 0.0.0~ubuntu26, it was resumed […]

The Linux Kernel topped the list for the number of vulnerability CVE identifiers.

Posted on

Greg Kroah-Hartman, who is responsible for maintaining the stable and 'staging' branches of the Linux kernel, reported that in the first six months of 2026, 2,308 vulnerabilities were identified in the Linux kernel, each assigned separate CVE identifiers. Thus, the Linux kernel rose from second to first place in the number of assigned CVE identifiers among software producers. This figure is not objective, as […]

In Fedora, the activities of 'Community Initiatives' have been suspended.

Posted on

The Fedora project governing board (Fedora Council) announced the suspension of the Community Initiatives process, which was created to implement large long-term projects in the distribution that do not fit within the six-month cycle of Fedora Linux release preparation. It was expected that Community Initiatives would focus community efforts on realizing major ideas and also allow for the necessary resources and support from the governing board. […]

A vulnerability in the Guix package manager allows for remote code execution on the system.

Posted on

Vulnerabilities (CVE not assigned) have been identified in the implementation of the internal command 'guix substitute' in the Guix package manager, which is automatically invoked by the background process guix-daemon during package installation operations. This command is used to download already built binary packages from external servers, checking their integrity using a digital signature. The most dangerous vulnerability allows remote code execution on the user's system […]

A new physics simulation engine Box3D has been introduced

Posted on

Erin Catto, the creator of the Box2D project, announced the development of a new physics simulation engine called Box3D, which is a fork of Box2D, having the same architecture but redesigned and expanded for use in three-dimensional games. The project code is written in C and is distributed under the MIT license. It supports builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS. The Box3D engine was created in […]

Issues with clearing disk encryption keys from RAM when Linux enters sleep mode.

Posted on

During the porting of the cryptsetup-suspend tools for NixOS, an error was discovered in the disk encryption subsystem LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup), which caused the encryption key clearance from RAM to fail when the system entered sleep mode starting from Linux kernel 6.9 (the problematic commit) released in May 2024. The cryptsetup-suspend tool is used in Debian for automatic locking […]
