From Copy Fail to Dirty Frag: Why Speed-to-Exploit Is Forcing a New Approach to Linux Security

May 13, 2026 By Puppet In Puppet
In early 2026, two back-to-back Linux kernel exploits, Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) and Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284 & CVE-2026-43500), shattered assumptions about how quickly attackers can weaponize disclosed CVEs. Dirty Frag, a zero-day Linux vulnerability that affected most major distributions, had PoC exploits published within hours of its disclosure. It’s a stark reminder: the timeline between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation has shrunk from weeks to hours.

How HAProxy built its modern application delivery architecture

May 13, 2026 By Andjelko Iharos In HAProxy
Let’s be real: building reliable tech products is hard. Modernizing that same tech without compromising the user experience is even harder. The "rip and replace" approach to modernization can severely disrupt your customers’ integration efforts and workflows. When it doesn’t work, reversing course might be the least-worst option. By contrast, the evolution of the HAProxy One application delivery platform architecture at HAProxy Technologies over 25 years has been gradual and consistent.

Rethinking BYOD security: protecting data without trusting devices

May 13, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
BYOD (bring your own device) has always looked better on paper than it does in real life. The promise is clear: let people use the gadgets they already own. Less friction, lower costs, and more freedom. But when security and privacy are non-negotiable, the conversation around BYOD usually ends quickly. Not because BYOD is a bad idea, but because the model behind it doesn’t quite work. With BYOD, you’d be trying to secure something that isn’t meant to be trusted.

Getting started with Codex and CircleCI

May 13, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI
Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent, powered by the GPT-5 family of models. It reads your files, proposes edits, and runs commands directly in your local environment. It ships as both a desktop app and an open source CLI, and it extends through plugins that connect it to external tools and services. Like any AI coding tool, Codex is strongest when the code it generates gets validated automatically.

Choosing a Software Engineering Intelligence Platform (2026)

May 13, 2026 By Jade Nangah In GitKraken
Engineering leaders face a common challenge: too much data scattered across too many tools, and no clear picture of how software delivery is actually performing. A software engineering intelligence platform pulls together metrics from your Git repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and issue trackers into a single view – helping you make decisions based on evidence rather than intuition.

From Monitoring to Observability: How DEX Integrations Strengthen IT Visibility and User Productivity

May 13, 2026 By Teneo In Teneo
When I started working in IT in the last 90’s, IT performance was always measured by the health of infrastructure: CPU utilization, network latency, server uptime, and for many organizations, little has changed in the last 30+ years. We became very good at keeping systems alive, yet users still struggled to get work done. That disconnect is exactly why Digital Employee Experience (DEX) has emerged as a critical discipline. But DEX on its own is not the end goal.

Security vs speed in databases | The Simple Talk Podcast

May 13, 2026 By Redgate Software In Redgate
Are engineering teams quietly accepting more risk? Redgate's 2026 State of the Database Landscape report reveals that people are increasingly willing to accept more risk to be more productive and take full advantage of AI’s capabilities. Steve Jones, Kellyn Gorman, Grant Fritchey and Pat Wright share their thoughts on that in today's episode. They share stories from their own careers, debate on whether the decline of the DBA 'gatekeeper' role has weakened security practices, how AI is amplifying the problem - and much more.
