Are you doing much concurrent programming? I attended some of the concurrency talks at the NFJS conference and I'm using a mix of the old synchronized and the new(ish) java.util.concurrent classes. I'm interested in a discussion about the usage and decisions about when one is better than the other.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Linux Security Tools Bypassed by io_uring Rootkit Technique, ARMO Research Reveals
Security researchers at ARMO have uncovered a significant vulnerability in Linux runtime security tools that stems from the io_uring interface, an asynchronous I/O mechanism that can completely bypass traditional system call monitoring. The research demonstrates how attackers can exploit this blind spot to operate undetected by most existing security solutions.

PagerDuty, the incident management platform used by thousands of organisations to alert them to problems on their systems, suffered a major outage itself on 28th August 2025. In a comprehensive outage report, the company detailed the scope of the problem, the customer impact, and how it is working to prevent a recurrence.
By Matt SaundersFrom Black Box to Blueprint: Thoughtworks Uses Generative AI to Extract Legacy System Functionality
Thoughtworks consultants successfully harnessed generative AI to decode legacy systems lacking source code. Using Gemini 2.5 Pro, they accelerated reverse engineering, creating validated "blueprints" of functionality in just two weeks. The pilot showcased AI's potential to drastically reduce time and risk in modernizing opaque systems while balancing speed with validation.
By Matt FosterIntroducing the MCP Registry
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem is enhancing AI development with a public registry for server discovery and a secure gateway for agent interactions. This initiative, featuring the recently launched MCP Registry and the Linux Foundation's Agentgateway project, streamlines the management of AI tools, fostering collaboration and security for engineering teams.
By Andrew HoblitzellPresentation: Chatting with Your Knowledge Graph
Jonathan Lowe explains how to connect an LLM directly to a structured graph database using a rapid prototype. He demonstrates how to use sentence embeddings and semantic search to allow natural language queries to retrieve and analyze structured data. This approach enables a local LLM to answer complex questions by leveraging the relationships within a knowledge graph.
