NGINX adds native support for ACME protocol
NGINX has announced the preview release of the nginx-acme module, which adds native support to NGINX for the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol:
NGINX's native support for ACME brings a variety of benefits that simplify and enhance the overall SSL/TLS certificate management process. Being able to configure ACME directly using NGINX directives drastically reduces manual errors and eliminates much of the ongoing overhead traditionally associated with managing SSL/TLS certificates. It also reduces reliance on external tools like Certbot, creating a more secure and streamlined workflow with fewer vulnerabilities and a smaller attack surface.Go 1.25 released
Version 1.25 of Go has been released. Notable changes include support for generating debug information in the DWARF 5 format, "container awareness" when setting the maximum number of CPUs to be used, and a new testing/synctest package with support for testing concurrent code. See the release notes for a comprehensive list of changes in 1.25.
Syncthing 2.0 released
Version 2.0 of Syncthing, a continuous file synchronization utility, has been released. Notable changes in 2.0 include multiple connections for synchronizing metadata and file data, a new logging format, as well as a switch from LevelDB to SQLite for Syncthing's backend. This the first release in the 2.0 series, and the release notes advise users to "expect some rough edges and keep a sense of adventure".

[$] Possible paths for signing BPF programs
BPF programs are loaded directly into the kernel. Even though the verifier protects the kernel from certain kinds of misbehavior in BPF programs, some people are still justifiably concerned about adding unsigned code to their kernel. A fully correct BPF program can still be used to expose sensitive data, for example. To remedy this, Blaise Boscaccy and KP Singh have both shared patch sets that add ways to verify cryptographic signatures of BPF programs, allowing users to configure their kernels to load only pre-approved BPF programs. This work follows on from the discussion at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) in April and Boscaccy's earlier proposal of a Linux Security Module (LSM) to accomplish the same goal. There are still some fundamental disagreements over the best approach to signing BPF programs, however.
[$] Arch shares its wiki strategy with Debian
The Arch Linux project is especially well-known in the Linux community for two things: its rolling-release model and the quality of the documentation in the ArchWiki. No matter which Linux distribution one uses, the odds are that eventually the ArchWiki's documentation will prove useful. The Debian project recognized this and has sought to improve its own documentation game by inviting ArchWiki maintainers Jakub Klinkovský and Vladimir Lavallade to DebConf25 in Brest, France, to speak about how Arch manages its wiki. The talk has already borne fruit with the launch of an effort to revamp the Debian wiki.
