Mark Zuckerberg’s AI-for-everyone vision runs into a compute problem
Matthew Berman supports Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of widely available superintelligence, open-source AI, and AI-driven invention—but identifies a major weakness: equal access to models does not mean equal access to intelligence. Unfortunately, at the end of the podcast, Berman projects his own U.S. tribalistic views onto Zuck.

Fake job interviews deliver a trojanized WireGuard VPN client to IT pros
Sandworm-linked attackers are using fake IT recruitment campaigns to trick system administrators into installing a modified WireGuard VPN client. The malware targets both Windows and Linux, decrypts hidden code, and downloads additional payloads after the victim connects to the supposed corporate VPN.

Your first shortened TLS certificates expire in September
Public TLS validity dropped from 398 days to 200 days on March 15, 2026, the first of three cuts on the way to 47 days in March 2029. Most CAs moved early, so certificates issued from late February onward begin expiring in September and through October. By 2029 that works out to roughly eight renewals per certificate per year.

QEMU 11.1
11 августа состоялся выпуск QEMU 11.1.0, свободного эмулятора процессорных архитектур и платформы виртуализации. По данным официального объявления в списке рассылки qemu-devel, в релиз вошло более 3200 коммитов от 285 разработчиков. Это второй функциональный выпуск QEMU в 2026 году после QEMU 11.0, опубликованного в апреле.
Одним из основных направлений развития стала архитектура RISC-V. В QEMU появилась поддержка big-endian для доступа RISC-V к данным: состояние порядка байтов контролируется битами MBE, SBE и UBE, а для моделирования процессоров, работающих только в big-endian, предусмотрено свойство big-endian. При этом выборка инструкций RISC-V по-прежнему остаётся little-endian.
Кроме того, для RISC-V в QEMU 11.1 реализованы:

LightDM returns from the dark with first release in 4 years
LightDM, Ubuntu’s former display manager, has had its first new release in four years – the first under new maintainers. LightDM v1.33.0 is a ‘catch up’ release that adds Qt6 support (Qt5 still works) and clears a backlog of fixes that had built up since the previous release. There shouldn’t be any breaking changes either, per the release notes. LightDM is a backend that handles logging in to user sessions. A GUI ‘greeter’ sits on top for user interaction. Ubuntu used the unity-greeter, but other distros and desktops roll their own. Linux Mint switched to LightDM in 2017 with slick-greeter […]

Open-source Hermes and OpenClaw agents ran an autonomous attack on Taiwan
Suspected China-linked operators used the open-source Hermes and OpenClaw AI-agent frameworks to run an autonomous cyberattack against Taiwanese government systems. The platform compromised at least 85 accounts, stole more than 2,500 personnel records, and adapted its attack paths without continuous human direction.

Zed 1.15
12 августа состоялся стабильный выпуск Zed 1.15.0, высокопроизводительного редактора кода, написанного преимущественно на Rust. Zed разрабатывается создателями Atom и Tree-sitter, поддерживает Linux, macOS и Windows, а его исходный код преимущественно распространяется под лицензией GPL-3.0-or-later. Предварительная сборка Zed 1.15.0 появилась 5 августа, а спустя неделю изменения были перенесены в стабильный канал.
Одним из основных новшеств стала настройка git.diff_base, позволяющая выбрать базу для отображения изменений Git. По умолчанию Zed, как и прежде, сравнивает незакоммиченные изменения с HEAD, но теперь редактор можно переключить в режим сравнения всей текущей ветки с точкой её расхождения с основной веткой репозитория. Настройка влияет на индикаторы изменений на полях редактора, цвета состояния файлов и команду git: diff, а в графическом интерфейсе доступна под названием Diff Against Default Branch.
Дополнительно появилась настройка gutter.git_gutter_width, позволяющая менять ширину индикаторов Git diff на полях редактора.
Для пользователей Linux заметным изменением стала поддержка перетаскивания файлов из Project Panel во внешние приложения при работе в Wayland. Аналогичная возможность реализована для macOS. Ранее drag-and-drop из панели проекта во внешние Wayland-приложения не поддерживался.
