Little hiccup with the recently released Ubuntu 24.04.5 installer. Issue affects new installs of #Ubuntu Desktop on amd64, for users who select the “Extended Install” option. Machines already running 24.04 can continue to upgrade without issue. We’ve pulled the new ISO for now and will […]

Very impressed by my first ever #RustConf! Serious talent density and I even got to meet some personal heroes! 🦀 Oh, and Montreal is pretty nice too! 🇨🇦
I’ll soon be heading on stage at #RustConf2026 in Montreal to talk Rust adoption at scale with #Ubuntu!
Gliding through the waves, the Stonking Stingray emerges with agility and grace.🌊 See it up close: https://ubuntu.com/blog/grace-on-the-currents-stonking-stingray Ubuntu 26.10 lands on October 15, 2026.
Starting my journey to Montreal for #RustConf 2026 and my opening keynote on Rust Adoption at Scale in Ubuntu 🚀 🦀
Making local LLM behaviour visible with #OpenTelemetry and COS Lite on the #Ubuntu Discourse! Nice! https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/making-local-llm-behaviour-visible-with-opentelemetry-and-cos-lite/86709
Making local LLM behaviour visible with OpenTelemetry and COS Lite
Making local LLM behaviour visible with OpenTelemetry and COS Lite A local large language model (LLM) does not need to crash to provide a poor experience. It can take too long to begin, pause between output chunks, or consume more memory and tokens than expected. Observability can make this behaviour visible. An instrumented model path can show how long a response takes, when its first output appears, how many tokens it consumes, and whether it completes successfully. This article explores...

I’m speaking at #rustconf26! 🦀 Come join me and the broader Rust community at RustConf 2026 for four days of talks, learning, and connecting with the people building and using Rust. Grab your seat TODAY: https://bit.ly/4wwduG6 #rustconf #rustlang
Delighted to announce a collaboration between #Canonical and the University of Bristol looking at the feasibility of precise, automated C to Rust translation by combining LLMs and formal methods. More details here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/investing-in-automated-c-to-rust-translation/86369
Investing in automated C to Rust translation
I have written before about the role that Rust will play in Ubuntu’s future. The case for Rust in 2026 is clear: it gives systems programmers more ergonomic control over performance and resource use while eliminating many classes of memory-safety defects, making it especially useful for software operating at important security boundaries. The harder question is what to do about the enormous amount of mature C code that already exists? Rewrites have long been expensive and risky, and do not o...

Think I just made my best Aeropress ever. I’ve been chasing that light tea-like effect from a V60 with Aeropress for a while to try and get my head around it for travel. 15g coffee Pour 45g water and bloom 30s Pour up to 200g Start pressing lightly at 1:30 Add 50ml water to the carafe at the […]

Introducing "Frontdesk" - an automated triage bot for new package sponsoring requests in #Ubuntu 💪🤖 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing-frontdesk-a-first-pass-triage-bot-for-sponsoring-requests/85567
Introducing Frontdesk, a first-pass triage bot for sponsoring requests
Introducing Frontdesk: earlier feedback on sponsoring requests At Debcrafters we’re always looking for ways to make Ubuntu’s contribution processes smoother and give people a better experience when they show up with a patch, a merge, or an SRU. One recurring pain point is sponsoring. Contributors without upload rights depend on a relatively small group of sponsors and reviewers to look at their merge proposals and bugs, and that group is busy — juggling their own work, other reviews, and e...

Just replaced the Mediatek wireless card in my Framework 13 with an Intel AX200 vPro card. My experience with the Mediatek one has been that it's very fast when it's very fast, but the driver has some real shortcomings with regards to stability when roaming between APs. For anyone with a Ryzen […]
