Canonical to shut down Ubuntu Pastebin after nearly two decades

Canonical will decommission its long-running text-hosting service Ubuntu Pastebin on May 31. The company is pulling the plug as part of a broader “infrastructure modernization and migration project”. Ubuntu Pastebin, which works similarly to GitHub’s Gist, albeit without the revision history, has been available to the community since late 2007 It originally launched under the paste.ubuntu.com domain before adding pastebin.ubuntu.com, which is live until the end of the month. The service was partly created to stop the official IRC support channels from being flooded with reams of terminal output from help-seeking users. It was also used by the community to share […]

Cinnamon’s new screenshot tool fixes app window shadow quirks

Linux Mint developers are building a new screenshot utility for the Cinnamon desktop, ahead of its next major release. The home-grown tool will give users more options when taking screenshots and will “accommodate the differences between CSD (Client Side Decoration) and SSD (Server Side Decoration) windows” to provide ‘cleaner’ looking screenshots. Currently, Cinnamon rolls with the GTK-based gnome-screenshot . The tool doesn’t capture window shadows at all when taking windowed screenshots. It does, however, capture dark pixel artefacts from window shadows peeking beneath rounded corners. That isn’t pretty. Hence the new tool. It can take app window screenshots with shadows […]

KernelScript 0.1.0

Представлен KernelScript — экспериментальный язык программирования для разработки eBPF-программ, пользовательских загрузчиков и расширений ядра Linux из единой кодовой базы. Проект развивает Multikernel Technologies, компания, продвигающая архитектуру split-kernel / multikernel для Linux. О KernelScript рассказал основатель компании Cong Wang на Linux Foundation Open Source Summit; код проекта опубликован на GitHub под лицензией Apache 2.0.
eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) — это технология, которая позволяет запускать небольшие программы прямо в ядре Linux, не трогая его код и не подвергая риску стабильность системы. eBPF помогает решать множество задач, от мониторинга производительности до обеспечения безопасности и сетевой оптимизации. Например, с помощью eBPF можно отслеживать системные вызовы, сетевой трафик и другие события в режиме реального времени. Это позволяет находить узкие места в производительности и оптимизировать систему (Хабр).
Идея KernelScript — сделать разработку eBPF менее болезненной, чем при использовании связки C + libbpf, и при этом не ограничиваться только трассировкой, как bpftrace. Разработчики описывают язык как типобезопасный DSL, который объединяет eBPF, пользовательское пространство и kernelspace-разработку: из одного исходного файла компилятор должен генерировать код для eBPF-программ, userspace-части и интеграции с kernel modules через kfunc.
