Ubuntu is swapping its time sync tool for a Rust-based version
Canonical is putting money behind a Rust rewrite of Ubuntu’s time-syncing tech, becoming a Gold Sponsor of the Trifecta Tech Foundation – a snip at €40,000 a year – to help fund the non-profit’s memory-safe software projects. That includes ntpd-rs, its Rust-based rewrite of NTP (Network Time Protocol). Canonical wants to make this the default time sync client and server by Ubuntu 27.04, with testing starting in Ubuntu 26.10, due out in October. Eventually, it’ll also replace chrony, linuxptp and gpsd for time-syncing use cases, per Jon Seager, Ubuntu VP of Engineering at Canonical. Your Ubuntu system keeps its clock right by checking in with time […]

Ядро Linux оказалось на первом месте по числу CVE-идентификаторов уязвимостей
Грег Кроа-Хартман (Greg Kroah-Hartman), отвечающий за поддержку стабильной и "staging" веток ядра Linux, сообщил, что за первые 6 месяцев 2026 года в ядре Linux было выявлено 2308 уязвимостей, которым присвоены отдельные CVE-идентификаторы. Таким образом ядро Linux поднялось со второго на первое место по числу присвоенных CVE-идентификаторов среди производителей ПО. Отмечается, что подобный показатель не является объективным, так как большинство производителей присваивают CVE-идентификаторы только опасным уязвимостям, в то время как в ядре Linux учитываются все уязвимости, независимо от степени опасности.

Carbon, движок EVE Online, стал открытым
Fenris Creations, ранее известная как CCP Games, открыла исходный код Carbon — собственного движка, на котором работают EVE Online и EVE Frontier. На официальном сайте Carbon описан как кроссплатформенный фреймворк для создания больших виртуальных миров, где ключевые компоненты можно изучать, использовать и дорабатывать сообществом.
Выложен не один демонстрационный модуль, а набор репозиториев организации CARBON Engine на GitHub: Trinity, Destiny, Scheduler, Core, IO, аудиокомпоненты, инструменты для ресурсов и другие части инфраструктуры. Trinity отвечает за графический движок Carbon и опубликован под лицензией MIT, но отдельно оговаривается, что она не даёт прав на торговые марки и игровой контент CCP/Fenris. Destiny описан как ядро симуляции игрового мира для MMO семейства EVE и также распространяется под лицензией MIT.
Fenris выделяет Destiny как систему физики и поиска пути, связанную с рекордными массовыми PvP-сражениями EVE, включая битвы на тысячи участников. CarbonIO отвечает за сетевой слой, CarbonUI — за интерфейс, CarbonAudio — за обработку звука в массовых сценах, а скриптовая часть опирается на Python.
Тем не менее, это не означает, что теперь можно просто собрать свободную EVE Online из исходников. Например, README Destiny прямо указывает, что для сборки нужны зависимости из Perforce и переменная CCP_EVE_PERFORCE_BRANCH_PATH. В Fenris объясняют открытие Carbon ставкой на прозрачность и долговечность: движок создавался для живых миров, способных существовать десятилетиями, а открытый код должен дать разработчикам возможность изучать и развивать эту основу.

Microsoft merges Copilot apps and introduces autonomous AutoPilot agents
Microsoft is consolidating its separate consumer and enterprise Copilot applications into a single unified app by August 2026, allowing users to switch between personal and work contexts within one interface. The company is simultaneously cutting underperforming features such as Copilot Podcasts and Copilot Labs, with an internal memo stating that every feature must "earn the right to exist" by delivering measurable business outcomes. Jacob Andreou, who oversees both Copilot product lines, is leading the consolidation effort.

AI server demand to strain supply chains and components through 2027
Demand for AI servers is projected to remain robust through 2027, driven by aggressive data center investments from major cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. This sustained demand is shifting the primary industry challenge from a lack of AI chips to broader shortages across the hardware supply chain. Analysts warn that these supply constraints will likely intensify, leading to higher prices and extended lead times for critical infrastructure.
