FreeRDP 3.31 is out with numerous security and bug fixes, plus faster graphics performance for AVC/H.264 Remote Desktop sessions.

You change one line in a large file. Your “incremental” backup re-uploads the whole thing anyway. Nine times out of ten, it’s not the network, and it’s not your storage backend. It’s the algorithm deciding where to cut your data into pieces. Every deduplication system works the same way: split data into […]

Immudb can work alongside rsyslog, Loki, Elasticsearch, or an operational database to give Linux administrators a way to preserve and verify the integrity of critical event histories.

After about a year of improvements, the German distro Garuda knocks it out of the park with its latest release, Garuda Temeraire. Distro of the Week puts this Arch-based distro through its paces and likes what it sees.

The first public Multikernel Linux release lets several independent kernels run side by side on one machine with dedicated CPUs, memory, and devices.

Earlier this month when benchmarking six Linux distributions on the new Framework Laptop 13 Pro powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake", the performance was strangely slow on Fedora Workstation 44. When digging further into it, the performance loss was with Fedora 44 using Tuned-PPD by default where as other Linux distributions default to Power Profiles Daemon. Ultimately, after Red Hat engineers got involved, was found to be a bug within the Intel P-State kernel driver exhibited by Tuned-PPD. The latest Linux kernel already has a fix in place and will be back-ported to Fedora 44...

OpenSSL 4.0.2 has been released today as the second maintenance/security update to the latest OpenSSL 4.0 series of this widely used TLS/SSL and crypto library for providing secure communications over computer networks.

Last year a multi-kernel architecture was proposed for the Linux kernel to allow multiple independent kernel instances to co-exist on a single physical machine. Each kernel with "multikernel" Linux can run on dedicated CPU cores whole sharing the underlying hardware resources. Linux 7.0-mk2 released today with the kernel patched for this multi-kernel behavior...
