The release of the Pale Moon web browser 33.9.0 has been announced, which forked from the Firefox codebase to provide greater efficiency, maintain a classic interface, minimize memory consumption, and offer additional customization options. Pale Moon builds are available for Windows and Linux (x86_64). The project's code is released under the MPLv2 (Mozilla Public License). The project adheres to classic interface organization without transitioning to […]
The release of OpenWrt distribution 24.10.3 has taken place, developed for network devices such as routers, switches, and access points. OpenWrt supports 2771 devices and offers a build system that simplifies cross-compilation and the creation of custom builds. Such builds allow the formation of ready-to-use firmware with a desired set of pre-installed packages, optimized for specific tasks. Ready builds have been published for 39 target platforms. The main changes are in […]
The Chinese company ByteDance, which operates the TikTok service, has published patches with the implementation of the Parker system (PARtitioned KERnel) in the Linux kernel developer mailing list. This system allows multiple Linux kernels to run simultaneously on one computer without using traditional virtualization. In terms of its objectives, Parker resembles the Multikernel project introduced a few days ago but differs in architecture and implementation. Parker utilizes partitioning […]
After a new wave of phishing attacks on maintainers, incidents involving the compromise of popular packages, and the emergence of worms affecting dependencies, NPM has decided to implement additional security measures: Two-factor authentication will be mandatory for local package publication. The use of one-time passwords (TOTP) for two-factor authentication will be deprecated. Users will transition to the FIDO U2F protocol. The shift to granular tokens, lifespan […]
XTX Markets has released the source code for the TernFS file system, designed to create a distributed storage system spanning multiple geographically separated data centers and capable of storing up to tens of exabytes of data, trillions of files, and hundreds of billions of directories, which can be accessed simultaneously by millions of clients. The project's code is written in C++ and Go and is distributed under the GPLv2 license. Protocol specifications and […]

Poul-Henning Kamp, one of the well-known developers of FreeBSD, who participated in the creation of systems such as MD5crypt, GEOM, GBDE, and FreeBSD Jail, has released Varnish-Cache 8.0, a high-performance caching proxy designed to function as an HTTP accelerator. The project is distributed under the BSD license and has been used in projects by Facebook, Wikimedia, Twitter, Vimeo, Tumblr, New York Times, and […]
The release of DuckDB 1.4.0 has been published, aimed at executing analytical queries and conceptually similar to SQLite. DuckDB combines properties of SQLite, such as compactness, embedability via a library, database storage in a single file, and a CLI interface, with capabilities and optimizations for executing analytical queries that cover a significant portion of stored data, such as aggregating all the content of tables or merging multiple […]
The Fedora project has announced the launch of Fedora Forge, a collaborative development service built using the Forgejo project. The service is being developed to replace the Pagure platform used in Fedora for collaborative work on code and package metadata. The replacement is necessary as the Pagure platform requires significant resources for maintenance, is in a state of stagnation, and has not gained widespread adoption outside of Fedora. […]
The Furi Labs project has announced the start of production of the FLX1s smartphone, shipped with the FuriOS distribution.

The device is available for pre-order at a price of $550. The first batch will be released on October 25, after which shipping to customers will begin. To ensure privacy […]
In the mailing list of developers of the Git source code management system, a change is being discussed that proposes to include components written in Rust in the core of Git and to add Rust to the list of mandatory dependencies required for building Git. The integration of the ability to use Rust in Git development is suggested to be carried out by analogy with the previously implemented transition to the possibility of using the C99 specification in the code […]
A series of patches developed by the Multikernel project, which was recently transitioned to open-source software and will now be developed in collaboration with the community, has been proposed for discussion by Linux kernel developers. Multikernel allows multiple independent instances of the Linux kernel to run on a single physical computer, providing direct access to hardware resources and enabling the running of several isolated system environments.
