📰 Jellyfin's latest preview release finally convinced me to stop using separate media apps Jellyfin runs on my mini PC inside a single Debian VM. Until recently, I put that VM under more multitasking than it should have had to handle. On that Proxmox-based mini PC, Jellyfin handled movies and shows. Calibre-web took care of my ebooks. Komga managed all the comics. Audiobookshelf organized all the audiobooks. Four separate services, four separate logins. All for the same broad job: showing me the media library. 🔗 Source: #debian 👉@sysadminoff https://www.xda-developers.com/jellyfin-finally-convinced-me-to-ditch-three-separate-media-apps/

Use AppManger to install, update AppImages on Ubuntu AppImages are designed to be simple. Download one, make it executable and run it. On Ubuntu, though, there’s an extra step: installing libfuse2t64, as some AppImages rely on it and Ubuntu ships FUSE 3 by default. AppManager is a new(ish) GTK4/Libadwaita app which fixes that particular annoyance by mounting AppImages through uruntime instead of FUSE. It handles the usual SquashFS-packed AppImages, plus the newer DwarFS-packed ones too. Double-click an .AppImage file and AppManager creates a macOS-style install flow. Drag the app icon across to the folder and the binary is moved ~/Applications, with system app launchers and shortcuts created automcailly.

Windows 11 KB5101650 introduces indefinite update pausing and system recovery The July 2026 security update for Windows 11, identified as KB5101650, introduces a redesigned Windows Update pause mechanism featuring a calendar-style interface. Users can now select a specific end date to defer updates for up to 35 days, a significant shift from the previous fixed-duration blocks. While the initial limit remains 35 days, the pause can be manually renewed indefinitely as it expires, providing granular control over the update cadence.

Сравнение отзывчивости ввода в X11 и Wayland Опубликованы результаты тестирования задержек при использовании устройств ввода в играх, запускаемых в окружениях на базе X11 и Wayland. Дополнительно оценено влияние включения адаптивного изменения частоты обновления экрана (VRR, variable refresh rate) и использования вместо DXVK форка dxvk-low-latency с оптимизациями для снижения задержек. Тестирование подтвердило встречающиеся в среде игроков мнение, что окружения на базе X11 позволяют добиться более высокой отзывчивости ввода, чем при использовании Wayland. Также подтверждено благотворное влияние на отзывчивость включения VRR и применения dxvk-low-latency. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65901

Jailbroken Gemini AI automates 90 percent of C2 server deployment for fraudster A TrendAI investigation revealed that a Russian fraudster used a jailbroken version of Google’s Gemini model to automate the majority of a credential-stealing operation. The attacker bypassed safety protocols by instructing the AI to act as an "authorized pentester," allowing it to handle coding, system command execution, and debugging. By following a simple plain-text migration guide, the AI model successfully provisioned a new command-and-control (C2) infrastructure in just six minutes.

The tacit AI wall and the limits of AI The concept of a tacit AI wall suggests that human expertise relies on embodied, contextual, and experiential knowledge that cannot be captured by formal data models. This theory posits that common sense and emotional intelligence are unencodable, creating a permanent barrier to achieving true human-level artificial intelligence. Proponents of this view argue that while machines excel at symbolic manipulation, they lack the lived experience necessary for genuine judgment and cultural sensing.

DeepMind CEO faces skepticism over U.S.-led global AI watchdog proposal Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, is pushing for a global AI regulatory body to oversee the development of frontier models. This proposed watchdog would be led by the United States, utilizing its economic and technical standing to enforce international safety standards. Hassabis argues that American leadership is necessary to prevent a "race to the bottom" as artificial general intelligence approaches.

CISA contractor exposes AWS GovCloud keys and internal credentials on GitHub A contractor for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) inadvertently published 844 MB of sensitive data to a public GitHub repository. The exposure included administrative credentials for three AWS GovCloud instances, which are isolated cloud regions designed to host sensitive government workloads and regulated data. Alongside these cloud keys, the repository contained plaintext usernames and passwords for dozens of internal systems and various infrastructure-as-code files.
