The blog It's FOSS reports: You already know that Canonical has been selectively replacing Ubuntu's C-based system components with Rust-written equivalents that don't compromise in terms of functionality, most of the time. Now it looks like the distro's OpenPGP implementation is next, with Sequoia PGP coming preinstalled in Ubuntu 26.10. Canonical wants it to eventually replace GnuPG [the dominant Linux implementation of PGP, written in C] as the default toolchain, though that switch has not happened yet... [The Ubuntu 26.10 release notes say Sequoia PGP's default status will be a future goal...] [Sequoia PGP] was started in 2017 by three former GnuPG developers who chose to build a new OpenPGP implementation in Rust rather than keep evolving GnuPG's existing codebase. Sequoia PGP is designed as a library that other software can use directly, rather than a standalone command-line tool. sq sits on top of that for encryption, decryption, signing, and key management, and sqv handles signature verification, filling in for gpg and gpgv in GnuPG. Sequoia also implements RFC 9580, the 2024 revision of the OpenPGP standard, whereas GnuPG has continued from the RFC 4880 branch, pursuing its own newer extensions and the LibrePGP specification rather than adopting RFC 9580 as its primary standard. From the It's FOSS Weekly newsletter, which also notes that the founder of the It's FOSS blog has also created a Linux-themed game called TUXDLE — a variation on Wordle where all the answers are Linux terms.

Slo-Tech - Microsoft je obvestil naročnike paketov Microsoft 365 Family, Premium in Pro, da bodo imeli v oblaku manj prostora kot doslej. Doslej so ti dobili 1 TB prostora za vsakega uporabnika do največ 6 TB. Odslej bo prostora manj in bo za vse uporabnike enako, to pa bo seveda manj. Več na Slo-Techu.

Raziskovalci razvili delujoči jedrski uri

Slo-Tech - Najnatančnejše ure so atomske ure, ki za merjenje časa uporabljajo prehode med elektronskimi stanji v nekaterih atomih, denimo v cezijevih. Ker imajo elektronska stanja natančno določene energije, so prehodi med njimi pri stabilnih frekvencah, zato lahko iz nihajev zelo natančno merimo čas. Naslednji korak v razvoju ur so jedrske ure, kjer namesto prehodov med elektronskimi stanji uporabljajo prehod med stanji samih jeder. Najpriročnejši atom je torij-229. Več na Slo-Techu.

Tudi prodaja konzol rekordno slaba

Slo-Tech - Proizvajalci konzol so svoje izdelke zaradi višjih cen pomnilnika podražili, kar se je odrazilo v prodajnih številkah. Konzoli PlayStation 5 in Xbox Series X/S sta tako dražji kot kdajkoli, zato se prodajata slabše kot kdajkoli. V primerjavi z letom poprej je prodaja konzol Xbox strmoglavila za 33 odstotkov, PlayStation pa za četrtino. Nintendo se drži nekoliko bolje, saj je padec zgolj 11-odstoten. To so najslabše številke po daljnem letu 2013. Več na Slo-Techu.

Anthropic odprtokodnim projektom ponudil brezplačno iskanje varnostnih ranljivosti

• Varnost

Slo-Tech - Anthropic je vzpostavil novo storitev OSS Scanner, ki bo odprtokodnim projektom omogočila brezplačno preveritev kode z orodji umetne inteligence za iskanje varnostnih ranljivosti. Na ta način bodo ti lahko prej dobili informacije o morebitnih luknjah, a ponudba ima pomembno past. Šlo bo za avtomatizirane strojne preglede kode, ki jih ne bo preveril človeških strokovnjak. Lahko se torej zgodi, da Anthropic prijavi tudi neobstoječe ranljivosti, saj umetna inteligenca ni stoodstotno zanesljiva. Več na Slo-Techu.
