GitHub AI secret detector targets passwords before code pushes

GitHub is testing a ModernBERT-based classifier that can detect password-like values without recognizable token formats and block them before they enter repository history. The private preview extends push protection, as one in three GitHub pull requests now involves an AI agent. The new checks use GitHub AI Credits.

Okular-session v1.0.0

Небольшая «обёртка» над Okular, позволяющая сохранять и восстанавливать сессии.
Okular-session сохраняет локальные пути к документам из Okular и восстанавливает их при запуске без аргументов. Для его работы требуется Linux, Bash 4 или более поздняя версия и Okular.
Написана на bash с использованием Codex.
Пример: во вкладках Okular открыт десяток pdf. При перезагрузке xfce (не закрывая Okular) текущая сессия может восстановиться. А может не восстановиться (при этом процесс okular ... -session ... висит, но без окна).
Можно:

запустить Okular через значок Okular Session;
по необходимости (или для сохранения сессии) просто закрыть Okular;
при следующем старте через Okular Session все вкладки с открытыми файлами восстанавливаются.

Edge 157 drops legacy Windows sign-in; admins can test OneAuth now

Microsoft Edge 157, planned for November 2026, will remove Edge’s legacy direct sign-in path through Windows Web Account Manager (WAM) and use OneAuth instead. WAM itself is not being deprecated: OneAuth still relies on it. Most profiles should migrate transparently, but some users may need to sign in again.

Do you trust Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots with all your data?

Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots can use a computer to carry out multi-step tasks, but reliability and access to sensitive data remain major hurdles. Muse is free and designed for broad consumer use; OpenAI is pitching paid Dots to businesses and knowledge workers. Neither has yet shown it can consistently handle important tasks without close oversight.

Ubuntu website under ‘sustained’ DDoS attack

Ubuntu’s website is currently experiencing a “sustained distributed denial of service attack”.

PhotoCraft is an open-source, AI-built clone of Photoshop

It was only a matter of time before someone would point AI coding tools Photoshop and get it to build a copy. PhotoCraft is that copy – an open-source, cross-platform image editor written in Rust. The app is part of several creative tools created by the ArtCraft project, lead by Brandon Thomas, the former CEO of storyteller.ai. ArtCraft bill the app as “clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Photoshop”, and so swerve any copyright issues as it’s not reverse engineering anything (that isn’t publicly documented) – words FOSS fans will to cheered to hear. Features-wise, PhotoCraft is already well stocked despite being in […]
