CPU scheduling is a challenging job; since it inherently requires making guesses about what the demands on the system will be in the future, it remains reliant on heuristics, despite ongoing efforts to remove them. Some of those heuristics take special note of tasks that are ...
Version 1.0 of the Radicle development platform has been released. Radicle 1.0 represents the culmination of years of experimentation and hard work from our team and community, where we set out to ensure that free and open source software ecosystems can flourish without...

Version 0.9.0 of Redox OS, an open-source, Unix-like operating system written in Rust, has been released. Notable changes in this release include performance and stability improvements, better management of physical and virtual memory, bootloader improvements, and more. It...
Many projects struggle with attracting and retaining contributors; Debian is no different in that regard. At DebConf24, Carlos Henrique Lima Melara and Lucas Kanashiro gave a presentation about efforts that the Brazilian Debian community has made to increase participation....
Jacob Adams wanders into the kernel's hibernation code: How does Linux move from an awake machine to a hibernating one? How does it then manage to restore all state? These questions led me to read way too much C in trying to figure out how this particular hardware/software ...
Security updates have been issued by Debian (amanda, aom, bluez, python-jwcrypto, and thunderbird), Fedora (chromium, firefox, and thunderbird), Red Hat (bubblewrap and flatpak, containernetworking-plugins, flatpak, and runc), Slackware (python3), SUSE (apache2, bubblewrap...
Linus has released 6.11-rc7 for testing. And I wish I could say that things have calmed down, but I can't really say that. In fact, rc7 is slightly bigger than both rc6 and rc5 were, both in number of commits, and in actual diff size. That's not really how it should work...

Code review is in high demand, and short supply, for most open-source projects. Reviewer time is precious, so any tool that can lighten the load is worth exploring. That is why Jesse Brandeburg and Kamel Ayari decided to test whether tools like ChatGPT could review patches...
The NGINX team has announced that official NGINX open-source development has moved away from Mercurial to GitHub, and the project will now be taking contributions in the form of pull requests: Additionally, starting today, we will begin accepting bugs reports, feature...
Alejandro Colomar, who has been maintaining the Linux man pages for the last four years, has announced that he will have to stop that work. I've been doing it in my free time, and no company has sponsored that work at all. At the moment, I cannot sustain this work...
Work on realtime preemption for the Linux kernel got its start almost exactly 20 years ago (though it had its roots in earlier work, of course). It is fair to say that finishing that job has taken a bit longer than anybody involved would have expected. Now, though, Sebastian...
Much of the early Rust code for the kernel has taken the form of reimplementations of existing drivers as a proof of concept. One project, though, is entirely new: the driver for Apple GPUs written by Asahi Lina. This driver has shipped with Asahi Linux for some time and, by ...

Version 1.81.0 of the Rust language has been released. Changes include the stabilization of the Error trait in core, some new sort algorithms, some linting improvements, and more.
OpenSnitch is an 'interactive application firewall'. Like other firewalls, it uses a series of rules to decide what network traffic should be permitted. Unlike many other firewalls, though, OpenSnitch does not ask the user to create a list of rules ahead of time. Instead,...
