Taking place this week in Berlin was systemd's annual "All Systems Go" developer conference. Among the interesting talks was Lennart Poettering talking about the ongoing challenges of D-Bus for inter-process communication (IPC) with systemd and how they are looking at Varlink for IPC needs moving forward.

Lychee is an open-source photo-management software based on PHP and MySQL. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Lychee Photo Management on Debian 12 server.

If you have been around for a longtime, you probably have seen how audio players have evolved over the years, some have stuck to the old 90s approach, some have gone for a more minimal approach.

The Radxa ROCK 2F is a small computing device designed for a wide range of uses, from development projects to multimedia setups. It’s packed with features, including multiple GPIOs and an HDMI port that supports 4K video at 60 fps, making it versatile for technology enthusiasts.

Want to sift through a massive log file, text file, or dataset? You’re not alone. Reading large files on Linux can be challenging when you want to view and manage content without overwhelming your system resources.

Following AMD and FreeBSD Foundation collaborations and the Sovereign Tech Fund making a big investment into FreeBSD, the FreeBSD Foundation and Quantum Leap Research have announced a $750,000 USD commitment to improve laptop support on this BSD operating system with backing by Dell, AMD, and Framework Computer.

Paradox Interactive teamed up with another developer again for the new Stellaris: Grand Archive DLC, which is blasting off on October 29th. Stellaris has Native Linux support and you can buy it from: Fanatical, GOG, Humble Store and Steam.

The NanoPi M6 is a compact and open-source single-board computer (SBC) designed for high-performance applications, powered by the RK3588S System-on-Chip. Key features include an M.2 M-Key PCIe slot for SSD storage and an optional metal case with an integrated 3.5-inch LCD.

There’s no disputing how versatile the Raspberry Pi is. Not only is it useful for DIY projects ranging from fun to productivity-boosting, but it’s also terrific for entertainment needs like retro gaming or as a media server. However, it’s just not suitable for everything.

The input subsystem updates merged this week bring a number of improvements to existing drivers while adding one new input driver.

In the Overview of cross-architecture portability problems, I have dedicated a section to the problems resulting from use of 32-bit time_t type. This design decision, still affecting Gentoo systems using glibc, means that 32-bit applications will suddenly start failing in horrible ways in 2038: they will be getting -1 error instead of the current time, they won’t be able to stat() files. In one word: complete mayhem will emerge.

The Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W is an upgraded version of the RP2350 microcontroller, offering more memory and wireless connectivity while keeping the compact form factor of the original Raspberry Pi Pico. It is designed for developers seeking enhanced functionality while maintaining compatibility with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.

Using a download manager, besides the one on your web browser, is a handy trick that helps with effortless file downloads. Personally speaking, I have used quite a few over the years, with Motrix being my current daily driver on Fedora.

With the Linux 6.12 merge window wrapping up this weekend and the bulk of the new feature merges now in the tree, I've begun running some Linux 6.12 benchmarks. Here is an initial look at Linux 6.10 vs. 6.11 vs. 6.12 Git on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X desktop.

AAEON SRG-CM4 is an IoT gateway based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) with 1GB to 8GB of RAM and 8GB to 32GB of eMMC storage, all powered by the Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 SoC.

Ubuntu stands out as one of the most popular Linux distributions among web developers due to its stability, extensive community support, and robust package management.

Similar to the ACPI CPUFreq and AMD/Intel P-State CPU frequency scaling driver and scaling governor benchmarks and power efficiency comparisons I routinely do on Phoronix, when recently having the Supermicro AmpereOne server in the lab with the 192-core A192-32X processor, I carried out some CPPC CPUFreq schedutil vs. performance governor benchmarks for curiosity and reference purposes while looking at the performance and power efficiency.

A new set of security vulnerabilities has been disclosed in the OpenPrinting Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) on Linux systems that could permit remote command execution under certain conditions.

We are very fortunate to have some really cool organizations like Proton, Tuta, Mullvad VPN, and others that have been consistently working on providing privacy-focused products and services.

MYiR Tech’s MYC-LD25X is a compact 39x37mm system-on-module built around the STMicro STM32MP25 dual-core Cortex-A35 SoC running at 1.5GHz with a Cortex-M33 core, and an NPU capable of 1.35 TOPS.
