A set of 36 patches sent out overnight is making big improvements to the Linux kernel's AES library. The patches allow for making use of the kernel's existing architecture-optimized AES code for better performance, that code is also constant-time, lower memory use, and all-around a nice improvement over the status quo...

Subject: Transparent Hugepage Performance On Linux 6.18 LTS: Madvise vs. Always

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

With some Linux distributions like Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu defaulting to "madvise" Transparent Hugepages (THP) while others like CachyOS and openSUSE defaulting to "always", you may be curious about the madvise vs. always THP difference in modern Linux environments. If so this round of benchmarking is for you in looking at the performance impact of madvise vs. always THP.

Subject: EU Digital Laws Spark FOSS Liability Fears: The GNOPPIX Case and Wider Impacts

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

The European Union's ambitious digital regulatory agenda has positioned the bloc as a global leader in technology governance. From data protection to platform accountability, EU lawmakers have enacted sweeping legislation designed to make the digital ecosystem safer, more transparent, and more accountable. Yet for the free and open-source software (FOSS) community, these well-intentioned regulations have created an unexpected crisis of confidence, with volunteer developers and small projects increasingly questioning whether they can safely operate within EU jurisdiction. At the heart of this tension lies a fundamental mismatch: regulations designed to rein in Big Tech giants are being applied, or could be applied, to volunteer-driven projects with no legal departments, no compliance budgets, and no ability to absorb the risks that come with regulatory uncertainty. The result is a growing chorus of concern from open-source advocates who warn that the EU's regulatory framework could inadvertently chill the very innovation it seeks to protect.
