I do a lot of hosting migrations and got tired of checking DNS records across multiple tools every time. So I built my own.

It came with my Logitech C922 webcam.

This year will see Waterfox shipping a native content blocker built on Brave’s adblock library [...] For how it works in practice: by default, text ads will remain visible on our default search partner’s page - currently Startpage. The idea is that this is what will keep the lights on.

TL;DR: The advent of AI based, LLM coding applications like Anthropic’s Claude and ChatGPT have prompted maintainers to experiment with integrating LLM contributions into open source codebases.

As global tensions rise and conflict escalates, Australia is being drawn deeper into US military strategy through AUKUS and broader military integration. That means more risk, more secrecy, and a greater chance that nuclear-capable bombers, warships and submarines could operate from, through, or alongside Australian territory.

In short:

First up with Flatpak 1.16.4 is a fix for CVE-2026-34078, which is a security issue allowing a complete sandbox escape leading to host file access and code execution in the host context. Ouch. The issue is due to Flatpak portal accepting paths in the sandbox-expose options that can be app-controlled symlinks pointing at arbitrary paths. Due to this apps can access all host files and can be used as a primitive for gaining code execution in the host context. Disabling Flatpak Portal is another way to workaround this issue but can cause app problems. CVE-2026-34079 is also fixed and is for preventing arbitrary file deletion on the host file-system. CVE-2026-34079 stems from caching for ld.so removing outdated cache files without checking that the app controlled path to the outdated cache is in the cache directory.

The Bondi to Manly Ultra is coming back to Sydney this October – with 20km and 40km relay options if you're not ready to tackle the full 80km

The humble footpath could be the answer to being more active, with new research showing regional Australians living in "walkable towns" travelled 75 minutes more on foot each week.

Councillor Zann Maxwell has unveiled stylish new design concepts for the future redevelopment of Victoria Barracks, Sydney. The renders reimagine the barracks as a bustling multipurpose civic space, and are part of a broader call for a publicly-led masterplanning of the site, with Maxwell cautioning against allowing developers to annex the space for their own financial interests.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered the worst energy crisis in modern history. Australia imports roughly 90% of its liquid fuel, and petrol prices have already jumped more than 50 cents a litre since the start of the war, with only 36 days of petrol supply remaining.
