Cerbos is an open-source solution designed to simplify and modernize access control for cloud-native, microservice-based applications. Instead of hardcoding authorization logic into your application, Cerbos lets you write flexible, context-aware access policies using a YAML syntax. These policies are managed separately from your app and evaluated via simple API requests to Cerbos’ Policy Decision Point (PDP).

Mastering the command line involves more than just knowing the tools—it’s about using them smartly. One subtle but incredibly useful trick when working with grep and ps is using square brackets to filter processes without matching the grep command itself. This technique is especially helpful when you’re scripting or debugging and want clean output. If you’re interested in enhancing your terminal productivity further, check out this guide on smarter tab completion using .inputrc.

Linus has released the 6.15 kernel, as expected.

So this was delayed by a couple of hours because of a last-minute bug report resulting in one new feature being disabled at the eleventh hour, but 6.15 is out there now.

Significant changes in 6.15 include smarter timer-ID assignment to make checkpoint/restore operations more reliable, the ability to read status information from a pidfd after the process in question has been reaped, the PIDFD_SELF special pidfd value, nested ID-mapped mounts, zero-copy network-data reception via io_uring, The ability to read epoll events via io_uring, resilient queued spinlocks for BPF programs, guard-page enhancements allowing them to be placed in file-backed memory areas and for user space to detect their presence, the once-controversial fwctl subsystem, the optional sealing of some system mappings, and much more.

See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the in-progress KernelNewbies 6.15 page for more information.

Imagine a small voice synthesizer on your computer. eSpeak NG is basically that. eSpeak NG is derived from the original eSpeak project, with the “NG” standing for community-driven efforts to enhance and expand its functionality. eSpeak NG is a small, open-source program that converts text to spoken word in a variety of languages and accents.

eSpeak NG takes a different approach from the more complex text-to-speech systems, which rely on large databases of recorded human voices. It understands the rules of each language’s pronunciation and constructs sounds from the basic phonetic units. This makes it very lightweight and portable!
