Convey is a GTK4/libadwaita fork of Linux email app Geary
Convey is a new Linux email client based on the code of Geary, remade with a GTK4/libadwaita UI and support for Microsoft 365 accounts. Somewhat like traditional mail, it arrives not long after I wrote about another new Linux email client, Postcard, which also draws its inspiration from Geary – the source being much-loved by Linux users, but whose last stable release was in 2024. Convey is a self-described hard fork of Geary so, unlike Postcard, it isn’t a tribute so much as a continuation – albeit an unofficial one: the Flathub listing is clear that it is “not affiliated with […]

📰 Google's "Painful To Maintain" Binder C Linux Driver Being Removed In Favor Of Rust
Google's Binder driver written in the C programming language has long been part of the mainline kernel as the inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism used on Android. The past few years the Binder driver was rewritten in Rust as one of the first "real" drivers in the Rust programming language. The Rust Binder driver was upstreamed in Linux 6.18 and now for the upcoming Linux 7.

📰 Public Exploits Released for Four Linux Kernel Flaws That Enable Local Root
A security researcher has released working exploit code for four Linux kernel flaws that each let a local user gain root, the highest level of access on a machine.Kernel maintainers have fixed all four over the past few weeks, so a system running an up-to-date kernel is not affected. But the exploit code is now public, and any machine still running an older kernel should be updated.The flaws.

Well, it's almost time. The good folks over at KDE are dotting the i's and crossing the t's as they're getting ready for the big Plasma 6.8 launch. The bad news is, the developers don't often have time to code fully fleshed-out features, so we're in bug-fixing mode right now. The good news is...well, we're getting KDE Plasma 6.8 on October 14th, which is a huge plus. Regardless, the KDE community has published patch notes detailing all the fixes...

BragJack lets malicious extensions take over AI browser agents
BragJack shows how one malicious browser extension can seize control of AI browser agents across Chrome, Edge, Opera Neon, Perplexity Comet, and Claude in Chrome. The proof of concept earned more than $20,000 in bug bounties and led to two CVEs; once the extension is installed, the takeover can proceed without further user interaction.

Java SE 27 и OpenJDK 27
После шести месяцев разработки компания Oracle опубликовала платформу Java SE 27 (Java Platform, Standard Edition 27), в качестве эталонной реализации которой используется открытый проект OpenJDK. За исключением удаления некоторых устаревших возможностей в Java SE 27 сохранена обратная совместимость с прошлыми выпусками платформы Java — большинство ранее написанных Java-проектов без изменений будут работоспособны при запуске под управлением новой версии. Готовые для установки сборки Java SE 27 (JDK, JRE и Server JRE) подготовлены для Linux (x86_64, AArch64), Windows (x86_64) и macOS (x86_64, AArch64). Разработанная в рамках проекта OpenJDK эталонная реализация Java SE 27 полностью открыта под лицензией GPLv2 с исключениями GNU ClassPath, разрешающими динамическое связывание с коммерческими продуктами.
Java SE 27 отнесён к категории выпусков с обычным сроком поддержки, обновления для которого будут выпускаться до следующего релиза. В качестве ветки с длительным сроком поддержки (LTS) следует использовать Java SE 25, Java SE 21 или Java SE 17, обновления для которых будут выпускаться до 2033, 2031 и 2029 годов соответственно (общедоступные — до сентября 2030, 2028 и 2026 годов). Расширенная поддержка LTS-ветки Java SE 8 продлится до 2030 года, а Java SE 11 — до 2032 года.

Ubuntu 26.10 stops the OOM killer from taking down your whole desktop
Ubuntu 26.10 changes how the system decides which processes get killed when memory runs low, so a rogue browser tab is less likely to punt you back to the login screen. Right now, when your system runs out of memory, the kernel’s out-of-memory (OOM) killer starts nuking processes to free some up. The issue is that doesn’t always kill the right ones. And that’s because, by default, many apps and critical desktop services share the same priority score. Firefox and GNOME Shell, for example, both have the same priority status. If memory pressure spikes, the OOM killer may decide to […]
