Deploy Your Thanksgiving Dinner with Cranberry sOSS
/// 20 Nov 2025, 11:55 am ////// ITS FOSS ///

There is an ongoing OSS maintainer burnout crisis. A new report reveals that a significant portion of developers have experienced burnout, with most of them being unpaid and very close to quitting.

Luckily, all's not lost. With proper funding, support, and recognition, there is a chance this crisis can be handled.

Alongside releasing that report, Sentry and the Open Source Pledge also announced something very wholesome.

Celebrate Thanksgiving, The Open Source Way

Cranberry sOSS is a real jar of cranberry sauce that Vlad-Stefan Harbuz, Studio 404, and the Open Source Pledge team created to help open source maintainers. All proceeds made from this will go directly to developers.

Funding distribution is handled systematically, with thank.dev's dependency analysis model being used to identify the most depended-upon open source maintainers globally. The complete list of beneficiaries is public on the funding distribution page.

The creators acknowledge "no model is perfect". But they believe the weighted distribution approach makes sense for supporting foundational maintainers who keep the internet running.

As for the sauce, it contains fresh cranberries sourced locally from Cape Cod. Other ingredients include organic cane sugar and water. It is gluten-free, sodium-free, and certified organic too.

This can be a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving table in seven days; it should go well with sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and turkey dinners.

Let the Celebrations Begin

A jar of Cranberry sOSS costs $13.37 excluding shipping. You can order through the Sentry Shop. Cranberry sOSS ships internationally, though some countries are excluded, and thanks.dev handles all payment disbursement to the selected open source maintainers.

PS: Keep an eye out for some genius copywriting on the product page. The pricing itself is an obvious one.

Red Hat Losing Another Prominent Linux Kernel Engineer
/// 18 Nov 2025, 11:40 pm ////// Slashdot ///

Another highly influential Linux kernel engineer, David Hildenbrand, is leaving Red Hat after a decade of major contributions to memory management, virtualization, and VirtIO. His recent kernel patch updates his maintainer info to a kernel.org address, signaling his departure. He hasn't yet said where he's headed next. Phoronix reports: David Hildenbrand serves as a reviewer for the HugeTLB code, s390 KVM code, and memory management reclaim code. He also serves as an upstream maintainer for the Linux kernel's core memory management code, Get User Pages (GUP) memory management code, kernel samepage merging (KSM), reverse mapping (RMAP), transparent hugepage (THP), memory advice (MADVISE), VirtIO memory driver, and VirtIO balloon driver. Hildenbrand had been employed by Red Hat the past decade in Munich working on QEMU/KVM virtualization, Linux kernel memory management, VirtIO, and related low-level areas. Just this year alone so far in 2025 he's authored or been mentioned on more than one thousand mainline Linux kernel patches.

/// 18 Nov 2025, 12:00 am ////// RedHat ///

The industrial world runs on timing and consistency. In manufacturing and operations, a predictable outcome isn't a nice-to-have; it's the core promise of the industrial system itself. Whether you're managing complex motion control or critical process loops, network communication must be reliable and predictable. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is the essential evolution of Ethernet that brings determinism and a guaranteed delivery schedule to a standard open industrial network.But here's the reality check for information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) leaders: TSN is great fo
