Amazon Web Services' Simple Storage Service (S3) leverages massive parallelism to serve high read throughput on slow hard disk drives, achieving tolerable latency and outstanding throughput through erasure coding and load-balancing techniques, supporting 400+ trillion objects and 150 million requests per second.

Intel has added a new power management feature to its Intel Xe kernel graphics driver for Linux 6.18, allowing users to adjust the Single Loop Power Controller's behavior through a sysfs interface for more efficient power consumption without sacrificing performance.

A new article provides step-by-step instructions on setting up a load-balanced web application using Apache, Tomcat, and mod_jk, covering installation, configuration, testing, and fail-over functionality with AJP protocol and sticky sessions.

Displayed on the page is a standard 404 error message confirming the requested resource is missing, with a brief apology, and a link or button that redirects users back to the homepage for continued navigation.

A new technique for exploiting full-text search in MySQL has been discovered, allowing attackers to bypass security restrictions and access sensitive data by manipulating query processing, potentially compromising user data and disrupting online services with unauthorized access.

A severe vulnerability in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT solution, CVE-2025-10035, has been rated as critical with a CVSS score of 10.0. Researchers found an authentication bypass allowing attackers to exploit pre-authentication command injection vulnerabilities without credentials or signature verification.

Apple has released Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), a new anti-spyware feature built into iPhone 17, Pro, and Air models, protecting against memory corruption bugs like buffer overflows that are commonly exploited by spyware for malicious attacks.

Intel's decision to shift integrated graphics driver support for 11th Gen processors to a legacy model on Microsoft Windows may affect Raptor Lake users and Xe DG1 discrete graphics owners, while Linux users remain unaffected due to open-source code.

GNOME Desktop Environment has lost support due to removal of non-systemd fallback code, making it impossible to launch on non-systemd systems. This decision comes after lack of interest and time to develop an alternative non-systemd gnome-session codepath.

During the Linux Security Summit Europe, Carl Shaw showcased CHERI, which embeds 128‑bit capability registers into RISC‑V, Arm, and MIPS, replacing pointers to enforce fine‑grained memory safety, kernel isolation, and support for Rust and MMU‑less devices.

This article introduces Postgres extension development, covering procedural languages, foreign data wrappers, index types, and storage systems through a step-by-step guide on creating a blocking DDL command extension, highlighting key considerations like preserving previously set hooks correctly.

This beginner-friendly guide teaches Linux system call tracking using Rust and eBPF, covering setup, eBPF project creation, and program logic, with examples of building and running the program and advancing to more complex tasks like network packet parsing.

Michael Larabel's article evaluates Bcachefs' performance on Ubuntu 25.10 with Linux 6.17 kernel, comparing it to popular file systems like Btrfs, EXT4, F2FS, OpenZFS, and XFS using DKMS package manager on a Crucial T705 NVMe SSD.

A comparison between Redis and Postgres as caching solutions in a high-performance HTTP server reveals that Redis outperforms Postgres, especially in read-heavy workloads, due to its concurrent request handling and faster write performance with unlogged tables.
