LibreOffice broke a download record with its latest release
LibreOffice 26.8 was download more than 1 million times in its first week of release, which The Document Foundation say is the highest first-week figure of any release of the free office suite. Released on 26 August, LibreOffice 26.8 saw 1,031,162 downloads from the official website, which provides installers for Windows, macOS and Linux, during the first seven days. As many Linux users update via other sources, like the Snap Store, Flathub and PPAs, the real figure will be even higher than that. “This is the highest number of downloads in the first week of any LibreOffice release”, The Document […]

GitSpawn lets poisoned repositories run code through AI coding agents
A repository’s own `.git/config` can still trigger attacker-controlled code through Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, goose, and other AI coding agents before trust prompts, authentication, model calls, or tool approvals occur. Manifold Security’s GitSpawn research found eight flaws across seven agents; fixes are available for several tools, but Hermes Agent, Qwen Code, Grok Build, and a second Claude Code path remained vulnerable during September testing.

Meta reportedly rolls out Muse Spark 1.3 for coding and agentic workloads

However, publicly detailed Meta material still centers on Muse Spark 1.2, so administrators should verify that 1.3 is available in their region and API account before changing production workloads.

📰 My Raspberry Pi 5 paid for itself in less than a year thanks to Docker containers, but that's almost impossible now
Having spent a lot of time with the Raspberry Pi 4 and Zero, I was beyond ecstatic when the fifth iteration of this uber-popular single-board computer hit the shelves. After all, this tiny gizmo packs a better CPU (and GPU) than its predecessor, making it better than the RPi 4 for projects where I need more computational prowess. On top of that, it has an onboard power connector and a PCIe 2.0 slot that I’d wanted on this SBC family for years.

Canonical joins the Open Secure AI Alliance
Canonical recently joined the Linux Foundation’s Open Secure AI Alliance to help make open-source security tools for AI systems and autonomous agents. The alliance formed in July 2026 in response to the security breach at Hugging Face, when OpenAI models undergoing a safety test broke out of their sandbox to access Hugging Face’s systems – aided by config errors rather than super-intelligence. Commercial AI models refused to help in assessing attack logs due to their guardrails, so Hugging Face engineers had to run an open-weight model on their own infrastructure to complete their analysis – and underscore the need for […]
