Matheus Alves, a security researcher specializing in malware, published an update on the Singularity project, which develops an open rootkit for the Linux kernel, released under the MIT license. The goal of the project is to demonstrate methods that allow hiding one's presence after gaining root access and maintaining the ability to execute privileged operations covertly. It is believed that Singularity could be useful for security researchers for testing and development […]
The ReactOS project celebrates its thirtieth anniversary! Happy birthday, ReactOS! Today marks 30 years since the first commit in the ReactOS source code tree. It has been such a long journey that many of our current contributors, including me, were not even born at that time. Nevertheless, our mission is to provide "your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an environment […]
Chawan is a text web browser and pager for Unix-like systems, focused on implementing modern web standards. At the same time, Chawan aims to be self-sufficient, easy to use, and extensible.

Version 2.58 of the cross-platform console utility fastfetch has been released, designed to display system information similarly to neofetch. The project is written in C and released under the MIT license. In the new version: The de.slowVersionDetection option has been removed. Slow version detection is now always enabled, as it is necessary for distributions that do not comply with the FHS standard (e.g., NixOS; #2149, DE, Linux). It is still […]
The release of the Rust programming language 1.93 has been published, initially developed by Mozilla and now maintained under the auspices of the independent non-profit organization Rust Foundation. The language focuses on safe memory usage and provides means for achieving high task parallelism, doing so without resorting to garbage collection and runtime (runtime is limited to basic initialization and support of the standard library). Methods of operation […]
PyTorch, a popular framework for machine learning, has been updated to version 2.10. Among the key innovations are: AMD ROCm support: Grouped GEMM support has been introduced.

Developers from Mozilla have announced the creation of an official repository with rpm packages that allow for the installation of nightly builds of Firefox on openSUSE, SUSE, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and various RHEL-based distributions. A similar repository with deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu has been available since 2023. Using the rpm repository enables the use of the standard package installation and update features of the distributions. When building packages in […]
Corrective updates for the GitLab collaborative development platform have been released โ versions 18.8.2, 18.7.2, and 18.6.4 โ which address a vulnerability (CVE-2026-0723) that allows bypassing two-factor authentication checks. To execute the attack, the attacker must know the victim's credential identifier. The vulnerability is caused by a lack of proper response value verification in the authentication services. Additionally, the new versions fix 4 other vulnerabilities, two of which […]
The developers of the LLVM project have approved guidelines for the application of AI tools in development. The need for regulation of AI usage arises from the increasing number of junk modifications being proposed for inclusion in the LLVM codebase. Junk modifications refer to changes generated by AI tools and submitted as-is, without understanding their essence, checking, or adhering to the position of 'the maintainer will sort it out.' Such activity creates additional burdens on maintainers and forces them to […]
