📰 AI Helped Uncover A "50-80x Improvement" For Linux's IO_uring
Linux block maintainer and IO_uring lead developer Jens Axboe recently was debugging some slowdowns in the AHCI/SCSI code with IO_uring usage. When turning to Claude AI to help in sorting through the issue, patches were devised that can deliver up to a "literally yield a 50-80x improvement on the io_uring side for idle systems."

While these days nearly every major desktop Linux distribution is using Wayland or at least making it available, a decade ago before reaching that maturity one of the options for showing off the potential of Wayland was the oddly-named RebeccaBlack OS. With "RBOS" it shipped the very latest Wayland components and different desktop and toolkit options to easily try out Wayland-based environments from a live Linux environment.

[$] A free and open-source rootkit for Linux
开源 Linux 内核 rootkit 工具 Singularity 发布
Matheus Alves 开发了一款名为 Singularity 的开源 rootkit,适用于 Linux 系统。与以往许多针对 Linux 的 rootkit 不同,它遵循了典型的开源理念。该内核模块可用于远程代码执行、禁用安全功能,以及隐藏文件和进程,使其对常规管理工具不可见。不过,Singularity 目前并未在真实攻击中被发现使用,其主要目的是为安全研究人员提供一个测试平台,以研究新的检测与规避技术。

Loong64 is now an official Debian architecture
Loong64 架构现已成为 Debian 的官方支持架构。John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 宣布,如果一切按计划进行,该架构将成为 Debian 14(代号 "forky")版本的一部分。这距离该架构的初始引导工作已过去两年多。
目前,团队在 Debian Ports 中已有软件包的帮助下,已手动构建并导入了包含 112 个软件包的初始集合。这足以创建一个初始的 chroot 环境并设置第一个构建守护进程(buildd),该进程目前正在处理构建队列。仅一夜之间,当前这个单一的 buildd 实例就已经构建并上传了 300 个新软件包。
