It affects Linux servers using the musl C library without PAM, not Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or macOS. Evidence on consumer routers is thin, and the likeliest router exposure is a manually installed OpenSSH server.</description><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 02:10:25 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>GPT-6 Cyber: What 81 Firefox Flaws and 948 Linux Exploits Do and Don&apos;t Show</title><link>https://jaroha.com/articles/main/gpt-6-cyber-what-81-firefox-flaws-and-948-linux-exploits-do-and-don-t-show</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://jaroha.com/articles/main/gpt-6-cyber-what-81-firefox-flaws-and-948-linux-exploits-do-and-don-t-show</guid><description>OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Cyber on Nov. 5, 2026, and rates it Critical, its top cyber tier.

It has fallen sharply since 2023 as immigration slowed and the workforce aged, so modest hiring no longer pushes unemployment up. Estimates range from near zero to about 87,000 or more, and low unemployment does not by itself mean the job market is healthy.</description><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 10:48:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Quits hit an 18-month high, but job-hunting risk depends on a job offer</title><link>https://jaroha.com/articles/main/quits-hit-an-18-month-high-but-job-hunting-risk-depends-on-a-job-offer</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://jaroha.com/articles/main/quits-hit-an-18-month-high-but-job-hunting-risk-depends-on-a-job-offer</guid><description>Quits reached 3.365 million in September, the highest level since March 2025, while 27.1% of unemployed Americans had been jobless for 27 weeks or more.

Recruiter interviews suggest bots rarely reject resumes outright, while audit experiments show that employers also react to signals unrelated to qualifications.</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 08:16:06 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Smart Home Upgrades Ranked by Evidence: Thermostats Lead, Doorbells Lag</title><link>https://jaroha.com/articles/main/smart-home-upgrades-ranked-by-evidence-thermostats-lead-doorbells-lag</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://jaroha.com/articles/main/smart-home-upgrades-ranked-by-evidence-thermostats-lead-doorbells-lag</guid><description>Smart thermostats have the best-documented payback, at roughly $50 a year on average by ENERGY STAR&apos;s figure. Whole-home leak shutoffs have a plausible but unproven case, and video doorbells have little proof that they deter crime.

For everything else, agencies point to password managers, multifactor authentication and passkeys. The evidence on memorability is thinner than the guidance suggests.</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:53:22 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Best budget phones in late 2026: what $200 to $600 buys now</title><link>https://jaroha.com/articles/main/best-budget-phones-in-late-2026-what-200-to-600-buys-now</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://jaroha.com/articles/main/best-budget-phones-in-late-2026-what-200-to-600-buys-now</guid><description>Professional reviewers keep returning to a short list of budget phones, each with a clear trade-off.
