Проект FreeCORE продолжил развитие дистрибутива TrueNAS CORE
Опубликован первый выпуск проекта FreeCORE, развивающего дистрибутив для быстрого развёртывания сетевого хранилища (NAS, Network-Attached Storage) на технологиях FreeBSD и OpenZFS. FreeCORE создан как форк кодовой базы дистрибутива TrueNAS CORE (потомок FreeNAS), в 2024 году переведённого в режим сопровождения, ограниченного исправлением ошибок и проблем с безопасностью. Развитие TrueNAS CORE было прекращено компанией iXsystems в пользу редакции TrueNAS SCALE, в которой используется ядро Linux и пакетная база Debian.

📰 The Linux Kernel Is Approaching 2,000 CVEs Per Release
With the proliferation of AI/LLM models analyzing the Linux kernel's vast codebase, there has been a surge in the number of CVEs per kernel release. After typically being around 500 CVEs fixed per release, we are now approaching 2,000 CVEs fixed per release and perhaps will break that threshold for Linux 7.3...

Linux 7.3-rc1 nears 41 million lines as AMD GPU code drives the surge
Linux 7.3-rc1 has become one of the kernel’s largest first release candidates, reaching nearly 41 million lines of source code. AMD’s new GPU definitions and driver support account for about one-third of the merge-window patch, making the release especially relevant for teams testing upcoming AMD hardware.

ALT Linux ID обзавелся личным кабинетом: управляйте профилем, паролями и ключами
В инфраструктуре ALT Linux произошло важное обновление. В сервисе ALT Linux ID теперь доступен полноценный личный кабинет пользователя.
Что нового:
Управление профилем, паролем и способами входа.
Добавление и управление SSH- и GPG-ключами.
Просмотр и завершение активных сессий.
Раздел «Уведомления» (в разработке).
ALT Linux ID уже используется для аутентификации на ALT Linux Space и Matrix-сервере altlinux.org. Расширение функциональности сервиса никак не влияет на доступ к репозиториям пакетов.
Важно: для членов ALT Linux Team с почтовыми адресами в домене @altlinux.org потребуется принудительный сброс пароля учётной записи.
Сервис на этапе активной обкатки. Сообщения об ошибках и пожелания приветствуются:

Automate Graph permission checks—and avoid an Azure Automation SDK trap
A PowerShell script can now compare Microsoft Graph’s current permissions with a stored baseline and alert administrators when Microsoft adds narrower or new access options. The automation also uncovered a problem in Azure Automation: Microsoft Graph Files cmdlets were unavailable in the PowerShell 7.4 runtime, forcing a switch to direct Graph API requests.

11 российских аэропортов перевели виртуализацию с VMware на основанную на Linux платформу zVirt
31 августа стало известно о переводе инфраструктуры 11 российских аэропортов с VMware на российскую систему виртуализации zVirt. На сайте разработчика Orion soft опубликованы отдельные материалы о внедрении в аэропортах Уфы (orionsoft.ru), Шереметьево, Пулково, Анапы, Сочи, Краснодара, Кольцово, Казани, Красноярска (Емельяново), Волгограда и Внуково.
Во всех описанных случаях ранее применялась VMware. В качестве причин замены Orion soft называет прекращение технической поддержки и получения обновлений после ухода VMware с российского рынка, а также требования импортозамещения для объектов критической информационной инфраструктуры. Например, в кейсе аэропорта Уфы говорится о поэтапной миграции с предварительным тестированием и минимизацией простоев, а в кейсе Красноярска — о переносе виртуальных машин с VMware с минимальными перерывами в работе критичных сервисов.

Why Ubuntu 26.04 upgrades from 24.04 are currently delayed
If you’re wondering why you can’t do a directly upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 from 24.04 yet, despite the Resolute Raccoon’s first point release being live, there is a reason. Canonical’s Oliver Reiche said in the mailing list announcement for Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS that upgrades will be delayed by a few weeks to allow couple of backports to land. These will “address regressions in a recent version of rust-coreutils”. Users on Ubuntu 25.10 are not affected by this; upgrades from 25.10 went live in April. Unlike the ISOs, which target a fixed release date, upgrades don’t. Enabling upgrades from one release to the […]

Cloudflare’s Adaptive Intelligence makes bot attacks a moving target
Cloudflare has launched Adaptive Intelligence, a Bot Management engine that continuously retrains on live traffic and changes its detection logic as attackers adapt. The system is designed not merely to block bots, but to make repeated automation attempts slower, less predictable, and increasingly expensive to operate.

Claude Max 20x lawsuit challenges what Anthropic’s “20x” promise means
Anthropic’s $200-per-month Claude Max 20x plan is facing a proposed class action alleging that its headline multiplier applies only to a five-hour session, not to the weekly capacity customers actually use. Based on Anthropic’s own published ranges, plaintiff Karl Kahn says Max 20x delivers roughly six to eight times the Pro plan’s weekly usage, while Max 5x delivers about 3.5 times—not the advertised fivefold and 20-fold increases.

Windows 11 KB5120998: New features and issues
Microsoft released KB5120998 on August 27, 2026, as an optional preview cumulative update for Windows 11 versions 24H2 (build 26100.9278) and 25H2 (build 26200.9278). The update adds taskbar and Start menu customization, search changes, security-related platform features, and removes the WMIC command-line tool. Microsoft is investigating reports that mouse cursor personalization settings are reset after installation, and users are also reporting desktop wallpaper and text-rendering problems that Microsoft has not yet acknowledged. You can install the update from Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. The September 2026 Patch Tuesday release is expected to include this preview's changes, but features that use a gradual rollout still reach devices over time rather than all at once, so availability can vary by device.
