Node.js 22.22.1 LTS and 20.20.1 LTS Released: Key Updates and What You Need to Know

Software 44177 Published 2026-03-05 17:21 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Node.js has released two long-term support versions: 22.22.1 LTS and 20.20.1 LTS, both of which bring important fixes and performance tweaks to the JavaScript runtime environment. One key change is that Node now uses a newer set of root certificates, known as NSS 3.119, which replaces old CA files and helps prevent TLS connections from failing on services like GitHub or AWS. Another significant update is that Buffer.of no longer allocates memory on the stack, but instead uses the heap, which can help prevent accidental overflows and improve memory usage patterns. Additionally, other tweaks include a new stable flag for debugging memory leaks and improved handling of mixed-type Sets and Maps in assertions.

Nginx CGI Tutorial: How to Install and Configure Version 0.15

Software 44177 Published 2026-03-05 13:13 by Philipp Esselbach 0

A new version of the Nginx CGI module, version 0.15, can be easily installed on recent Debian or Ubuntu releases by adding the GetPageSpeed repository keyring and then installing the nginx and nginx-module-cgi packages. To use the module, you need to add a load statement to your configuration file if Nginx was compiled manually or stores modules in a custom location, and enable CGI for specific URI prefixes with the cgi on directive. A minimal shell script that prints a greeting can be created by placing a bash file in the document root's cgi-bin directory and ensuring it has execute permission. After configuring the module, you can test the setup by reloading Nginx and accessing the script through its URL, checking for any errors in the log files if necessary.

FEX‑2603 Fixes Steam Crashes, Masks Big.LITTLE CPUs, and Shrinks Memory Footprint

Software 44177 Published 2026-03-05 08:31 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The FEX‑2603 release finally resolves the Steam crash issue, hides hybrid CPU names to dodge anti‑tamper checks, and replaces JEMalloc with a leaner RPMalloc, cutting memory usage by several hundred megabytes. CPUID masking now prevents dozens of anti‑tamper games from misreading core types, while the switch to dc zva for AVX zeroing lifts FPS in demanding titles such as Death Stranding. Updated build scripts support LLVM 22 and the latest mingw toolchain, allowing clean Wine DLL builds without downgrading compilers. A series of JIT fixes—improved VEX compares, streamlined x87 conversions, added ARPL handling, and a faster unordered_dense cache—tightens performance for high‑load workloads.
