The #Rust support in the #Linux #kernel is now officially a first class citizen and not considered experimental any more:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9fa7153c31a3e5fe578b83d23bc9f185fde115da; for more details, see also: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/
This is one of the highlights from the main #RustLang for #LinuxKernel 7.0 that was merged a few hours ago ; for others, see https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a9aabb3b839aba094ed80861054993785c61462c

Let me be cheeky and preempt @pid_eins's systemd 259 posts:
In systemd 259, I'm making it possible to run commands that need privileges as your current user instead of as root. With "run0 --empower", you'll get a session as your current user in which you can do anything that root would be able to do, without actually being root.
This is very useful when you need to run something with privileges but still want all created files and directories to be owned by your current user.
Bartosz Golaszewski just published the first stable release of the libgpiod Rust bindings.
They provide a safe wrapper around the libgpiod C library.
I had some fun helping to stabilize the bindings!
Broken links aside (fix incoming), #FDroid raises the case against the #Google developer forced registration once again.
We'll skip the small talk, go read, and better yet, spread this wide and far: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html so people are made aware, actions can be taken and #Android is kept truly open!

I wrote a blog post around modern secure boot options for embedded Linux devices. It showcases how new systemd features provide a turn-key solution for problems that previously required a lot of custom integration.
CNXSoft: This is a guest port by Erik Wierich, Senior Engineer at RISCstar Solutions, demonstrating a practical security implementation for embedded devices using standard Linux tools like dm-verity and TPM 2.0. It covers threat models, filesystem security, and TPM-based encryption with working code examples. Nowadays, it is (rightfully) impossible to put an embedded device into the market without comprehensive embedded device security measures. Most new devices store private data that we do not want to see leaked in dark corners of the Internet. We also want to avoid our device ending up as part of a botnet. Linux has a large set of tools to help us with security. What has historically been lacking is a simple, off-the-shelf way to integrate these tools into a secure-by-default configuration. This post will demonstrate how modern tools simplify deployments while ensuring strong security. Embedded Device Security Scope When talking about embedded system security,
