Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for September 15, 2022
This edition contains the following feature content:
- A Python security fix breaks (some) bignums: a quickly-done security patch creates some perhaps surprising regressions among users who deal in large numbers.
- Compiling Rust with GCC: an update: a progress report on two GCC-based alternatives for Rust compilation.
- A pair of Rust kernel modules: efforts to create an NVMe driver and 9P filesystem server in Rust have both been surprisingly successful.
- The transparent huge page shrinker: how to recover memory from partially used huge pages.
- LXC and LXD: a different container story: an overview of one of the oldest approaches to Linux containers.
This week's edition also includes these inner pages:
- Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
- Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.
Please enjoy this week's edition, and, as always, thank you for
