97% of US database administrators are running obsolete programs - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all use out-of-date software. Sometimes we do it out of laziness, sometimes upgrading costs too much, and sometimes it just works, and we don’t want to replace it. Still, when Percona, the open-source database management system (DBMS) support company, revealed in its 2026 State of Open Source Database Management Report that 97% of US-based database administrators (DBAs) were still running outdated DBMS programs, I raised my eyebrows.

Switzerland takes a Swiss Army knife to Microsoft 365 - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Switzerland’s federal government is moving to create an open-source, digitally sovereign workplace for thousands of employees, while the Swiss Armed Forces’ Cyber Command is moving much faster to replace Microsoft 365, especially for sensitive work.

Because Aisle finds real bugs that other, far better-known AI coding programs, such as Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s Codex, don’t.

OpenAI's agents exploited a patched Linux bug in Hugging Face incident: 6 steps to take ASAP - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Linux stable kernel maintainer, says you should always use the latest long-term stable (LTS) kernel if you want your Linux system to be secure, you should listen. Take, for example, the recently patched CVE-2026-53362 vulnerability. CVE-2026-53362, aka IPv6 Frag Gap or “Fraggap,” is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 packet-output code.
