Just as last week, one big topic stood out - The Merge - this time, we'll go through some exciting announcements in the tech world concerning Linux, databases, and ML models. But before all that, a few current world events will unfortunately permeate our Weekly.

Sorry, this is a bit of a rant. My preferred routing library for React has been Raviger for a while but recently I needed to figure out how…

SBOMs display a complete inventory of the application, including all open source components and vulnerabilities. Here's how to make one, using syft and grype.

Platforms provide golden paths, with recommended tools and best security practices built in, reducing cognitive load while preserving developer freedom.

In these modern IT days – where the rapidly-evolving environment stretches from the datacenter to the cloud and edge, with a range of hyperscale cloud

For better or worse, C is the lingua franca in the world of kernel engineering. The core logic of the Linux kernel is written entirely in C (with a bit of assembly), as are its drivers and modules. While C is rightfully celebrated for its powerful yet simple semantics, it is an older language that lacks many of the features present in modern languages such as Rust. The BPF subsystem, on the other hand, provides a programming environment that allows engineers to write programs that can run safely in kernel space. At the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference in Dublin, Ireland, Alexei Starovoitov presented an overview of how BPF has evolved over the years to provide a new model for kernel programming.

In this installment of “Ask Adam,” Adam Savage answers two very important questions: When should you bother to refurb a tool vs. buying a new one and does he get sad when he has to repl…

A hash tree or Merkle tree is a tree in which every non-leaf node is labelled with the hash of the labels or values (in case of leaves) of its child nodes. Hash trees are useful because they allow efficient and secure verification of the contents of large data structures. Hash trees are used in the IPFS file system, BitTorrent protocol, Git, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a number of NoSQL systems like Apache Cassandra and Riak. They are used for many kinds of verification, especially of large chunks of data.

Performing I/O concurrently is one of asyncio's superpowers (if not its main superpower). This is accomplished, directly or indirectly (through helpers like asyncio.gather), by the creation and use of asyncio tasks. Even if you've never created an asyncio task yourself or called gather, you've used them because every

Zeek (formerly Bro) is the world’s leading platform for network security monitoring. Flexible, open source, and powered by defenders.

What is Bro IDS (Zeek)? Thinking about Bro as an IDS alone doesn’t accurately describe the breadth of its capabilities. Let's break down a more effective description.

Don't use actors for concurrency. Instead, use actors for state and use futures for concurrency. A common practice I've seen in scala code is to use actors for concurrency. This is encouraged by Akka and a lot of writing about Scala, the documentation of which is highly actor-centric. I assert …

Chainguard takes a new approach to building a container Linux with all the security you'd need already baked in.

Solutions with preinstalled open source Kubernetes management platforms can simplify the deployment and management of complex container environments at scale.

When computer architectures change in the datacenter, the attack always comes from the bottom. And after more than a decade of sustained struggle, Arm Ltd
