📰 Little Snitch, the macOS network tool, is now available on Linux
A Linux version of Little Snitch, the iconic network monitoring and firewall tool for macOS, has been released. Little Snitch for Linux is written in Rust and uses eBPF for kernel-level traffic interception (which lets sandboxed code run inside the Linux kernel without modifying it). The tool lists processes on your machine making network connections, with options to block them.

📰 RISC-V XIP Linux Feature Being Removed After It Keeps Breaking For Months At A Time
Introduced in Linux 5.13 back in 2021 was eXecute In Place "XIP" support for RISC-V that allows for the kernel image to be executed from ROM. The intent is on allowing the kernel to run from non-volatile storage like NOR flash that is directly addressable by the CPU and to reduce RAM usage. But after RISC-V XIP support is broken for months at a time, the feature is now set to be retired from the mainline kernel...
