Today Canonical announced the release of Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed “Stonking Stingray,” available to download and install from ubuntu.com/download. Building on previous releases, Ubuntu 26.10 advances enterprise security features, completes the rollout of the Rust-based uutils coreutils, and strengthens integrations for user authentication using Microsoft Entra ID.

At home I run fully automated coding loops on a few side projects. They use more than 100-million tokens a day. At Claude Opus 5.5 prices, that costs more than $5,300 a month. For hobby projects. The same usage on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash cost about $330 a month, one sixteenth of the price. If we want to keep scaling how much we use AI, most of those tokens have to run on open models, period.

How often does a lagging replica or a bad network link reach users before your monitoring flags it? The problem grows when every layer has its own tool. Warning signs then show up in different places, often too late to act on. Motadata 8.2.9 came out on October 5, 2026, with eight updates to Motadata ObserveOps. Four of them focus on the network. The other four deal with databases, data streaming, alerting and SEBI compliance reporting. A few add support for technologies Motadata did not cover before.

We're excited to share that Honeycomb has achieved yet another Amazon Web Services (AWS) Competency—the Resilience Technology Competency—which recognizes our ability to help customers detect, investigate, and recover from failures in production systems running on AWS. While receiving the competency designation is a fantastic recognition of the capabilities of the Honeycomb platform (we also received one in Financial Services earlier this year), it's ultimately not the point.

AlloyScan 26.10 brings remote computer restart, more flexible dashboard Analytics, and customizable system notification emails. Take a look at what’s new.

This post is about a recent change to the Sentry JavaScript SDKs. If you don’t use Sentry with JavaScript, it may still be useful as a look at how we made the change and why. In the Sentry JavaScript SDK v11, we rebuilt how our tracing integrations work. While we still support the OpenTelemetry standard (described in more detail below), we now instrument your dependencies with a code transformer instead of using the OpenTelemetry instrumentation classes as we did in previous versions.

During an incident, the answers an engineer needs are spread across tools. Telemetry sits in one place, configurations in another, and tickets in a third. Building a complete picture means knowing which tool holds which piece and how to query each one, usually under time pressure. Rosetta is the conversational interface for Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector’s existing AIOps and Observability solution.

Obkio's ServiceNow integration is now live. When Obkio detects a network issue, it opens an incident in ServiceNow. When the issue recovers, it resolves that same incident. Your team works the problem in the platform they already use for incident management, with the monitoring context already attached.
