ZUPT, an open source backup, compression, and data protection utility, has officially been accepted into openSUSE Factory, bringing a new security-focused backup option to the openSUSE ecosystem. The project combines backup creation, compression, integrity verification, and encryption in a single tool, allowing users to package files and directories into compact archives that are easier to store, transfer, verify, and restore.

Security is one of ZUPT’s main technical highlights. In addition to AES-256-based encryption, the tool supports a hybrid cryptographic scheme based on ML-KEM-768 + X25519. This approach combines established public-key cryptography with a post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism designed to provide stronger protection against future cryptographic threats. For users handling long-lived or sensitive backups, this adds an additional layer of protection against so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” scenarios, in which encrypted data collected today could potentially be targeted by more powerful computing systems in the future. ZUPT also includes file integrity verification features to help detect corruption, modification, or unexpected changes in archived data.

ZUPT was also designed with performance in mind. The application uses multithreaded processing to take advantage of multiple CPU cores during backup, compression, and restore operations, reducing processing time on modern systems. It includes its own compression mechanism as well as commands for testing and validating archive contents. With its acceptance into openSUSE Factory, ZUPT becomes an officially integrated solution for users looking for a combination of backup, compression, integrity verification, encryption, and post-quantum data protection within the openSUSE ecosystem.

The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum (福井県立恐竜博物館, Fukui Kenritsu Kyōryū Hakubutsukan) is an excellent museum dedicated to dinosaur research and education. It is recognized as one of the top dinosaur museums in the world, and is the largest of its kind in Japan. The museum is located 25 kilometers east of Fukui City in Katsuyama City, the center of dinosaur research in Japan and home to the country's largest and most prolific excavation site, found just a few kilometers from the museum.

The Fukui Dinosaur Museum spans four floors. The main floor's large open space houses the museum's principal Dinosaur World exhibition where more than 40 dinosaur skeletons are on display together with good English explanations. They include examples of the local Fukui-raptor and Fukui-saurus, which were found nearby, as well as several life-size animatronic dinosaurs, including a life-like Tyrannosaurus Rex that greets visitors at the entrance.
