Talos is a specialist Linux-based operating system for running Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerised applications. Minimal, immutable and hardened, it does not offer any shell or interactive console; instead, all system management is done via remote Application Programming Interface (API) calls, where messages sent from a client application are protected with mutual Transport Layer Security TLS (mTLS) authentication. Talos also delivers atomic updates, thus maintaining the Linux and Kubernetes versions up-to-date. Talos is developed in the USA by Sidero Labs, Inc.

Version 15.0 of the Tor Browser has been released:

This is our first stable release based on Firefox ESR 140, incorporating a year's worth of changes that have been shipped upstream in Firefox. As part of this process, we've also completed our annual ESR transition audit, where we reviewed and addressed around 200 Bugzilla issues for changes in Firefox that may negatively affect the privacy and security of Tor Browser users. Our final reports from this audit are now available in the tor-browser-spec repository on our GitLab instance.

This release inherits the vertical tabs feature, unified search button, as well as other new features and usability improvements in Firefox that have passed the Tor Project's audit.

Debian's ftpmaster team has been responsible for allowing new packages to enter Debian, removing old packages, and otherwise maintaining Debian's package archive for more than two decades. As of October 26, the team is no more and its duties are being split between two new teams. The Archive Operations Team will focus on the infrastructure required to support the Debian archives, and the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team, which is responsible for reviewing packages entering the new queue. In time, this move could speed up processing of new packages, as well as making the teams more sustainable, but only after new members are recruited and trained. For now, the same folks are doing the work but spread across two teams.

Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.17.6, 6.12.56, 6.6.115, 6.1.158, 5.15.196, 5.10.246, and 5.4.301 stable kernels. As always, each contains important fixes throughout the tree. Users of these kernels are advised to upgrade.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (gimp, python-authlib, and xorg-server), Fedora (chromium and git-lfs), Mageia (poppler and tomcat), Red Hat (kernel, kernel-rt, redis, and redis:6), SUSE (fetchmail, grafana, ImageMagick, kernel-devel, libluajit-5_1-2, proxy-helm, python-Authlib, and xen), and Ubuntu (linux-intel-iotg, linux-intel-iotg-5.15 and squid, squid3).

Earlier, I wrote about yt-dlp, the powerful command-line tool for downloading videos from hundreds of websites, which is an incredible tool that many Linux users have come to rely on, but let’s be honest, not everyone loves working exclusively in the terminal, and sometimes you just want a quick, visual way to download videos without typing commands.

Enter ytDownloader: a modern graphical interface that brings the power of yt-dlp to your desktop with a user-friendly design.
