Untitled Linux Show: Not Even Embarrassed
Kage, Artcraft, and the Potential Pi Killer
with Jonathan Bennett, Jeff Massie, @robcampbell.bsky.social
Helpdesk has nothing to do with pen testing? It teaches you how systems work, the foundation for securing them and finding weaknesses.
Nobody learns it all at once.
The ArtCraft team isn't stopping with Adobe alternatives!
They've also created WordCraft, CADCraft, GridCraft and DeckCraft, targeting Word, AutoCAD, Excel and PowerPoint.
All open source, built in Rust and still early in development.
Remember ‘Microsoft loves Linux’? Now: Linux loves AI.
A proposal would add AI agent skills to the kernel tree, starting with identifying bug-causing commits. Not approved yet, but interesting.
Anthropic is banning users for being cruel to Claude.
Is Claude becoming sentient, or is Anthropic just getting nervous about our future AI overlords? 😂
Better start saying please and thank you!
Google's open-source Sashiko reviewed 191,000 Linux kernel patches. Fix commits for 463 kernel CVEs cite its reviews.
This is AI helping catch bugs before they ship, not just generating more code.
CVE-2026-21589 lets unauthenticated attackers read specific files from eight Atlassian products. Patch now.
ArtCraft is building seven free, open-source alternatives to Adobe's creative apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere.
They're written from scratch in Rust and support Linux.
Google paused product-vulnerability reports to its open-source bug bounty after invalid automated submissions surged. AI can find leads, but a security report still needs proof.
System76's COSMIC desktop has stopped accepting LLM-generated content in pull requests after AI submissions increased maintainer review workloads.
The war of AI vs. Anti-AI continues. Who will ultimately win?
Fortinet says CVE-2026-104286 is being exploited against FortiMail. The flaw lets an unauthenticated attacker write arbitrary files. Apply Fortinet’s workaround and check its IoCs.
New week; new Fortinet vulnerability.
Cisco says attackers are exploiting CVE-2026-76504 to gain admin access to Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. No workaround exists. Patch now.

Qualcomm is bringing Linux to Snapdragon X2 laptops, with certified Ubuntu targeted for 2027.
This could become a serious Linux-on-ARM alternative to Apple Silicon.
The Dutch government is building DAWO, an open digital workplace with NixOS at its core. It also has a Fedora Kinoite fallback path.
This is digital sovereignty becoming real infrastructure.
Citrix says two critical NetScaler flaws are already being exploited. CVE-2026-88771 affects default configurations and allows unauthenticated command execution. Patch immediately.
GNOME OS developers are building Toolpak, a new way to install developer tools on image-based Linux without changing the host OS. Think Flatpak for tools like strace and qemu.

That is a really nice book Jeff is holding there.
