History of CentOS: How a biochemist's Linux hobby project became the enterprise world's default operating system
INTERVIEW Gregory Kurtzer, CentOS's founder, tells the story of how the Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone was born of a small group of rebuild hackers and Linux fans who were angry that Red Hat Enterprise Linux had replaced Red Hat Linux and convinced they could do better. Back in 2003, Linux fans were ticked off at Red Hat because they were replacing the end-user-friendly Red Hat Linux with the business-oriented Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It was a smart move for Red Hat, but users were...
OpenBSD 7.9 arrives, a diamond in the rough proud of every sharp edge
OpenBSD 7.9 has been released, maintaining its reputation as a highly secure Unix-like operating system. This version introduces modest features, including support for up to 255 processor cores on amd64 machines and improved CPU scheduler understanding for heterogeneous cores. Additionally, it features "delayed hibernation" to manage low battery power and includes updates to LibreSSL and OpenSSH.
You Don't Love Systemd Timers Enough
Figure 1: Plato's Cave by Jan Pietersz Saenredam; 24 hour clock licensed under CC3 from Wikimedia; systemd logo by the systemd project licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 My favorite metonymic technology term is "cron job": even though cron may not literally be the daemon that executes actions on a schedule, we apply the term to anything that walks like a cron and quacks like a cron . As Patrick McKenzie likes to point out, cron jobs are one of the most eminently useful computing primitives. They...

An Analysis of GrapheneOS's Server Infrastructure
An Analysis of GrapheneOS's Server Infrastructure GrapheneOS has a well-earned reputation for serious security work. Cellebrite — the forensics company law enforcement pays to crack phones — [publicly lists GrapheneOS as one of the few Android devices it cannot extract data from](https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/claims-made-by-forensics-companies-their-capabilities-and-how-grapheneos-fares/8653). The kernel hardening, the memory allocator, the sandboxing — these are real and they work.
Restartable Sequences
May 31st, 2026 @ justine's web page The best kept secret at the frontier of system programming right now is the Linux 4.18+ (c. 2018) concept of restartable sequences or rseq for short. They allow you to create thread-safe data structures without locks or atomics which scale to microprocessors with many cores. It's currently only possible to use rseq on Linux using handwritten assembly code.
