A new Snap Store scam campaign abuses expired publisher domains to bypass trust signals and deliver malicious app updates.

It's typically rare these days for the ATA subsystem updates in the Linux kernel to contain anything really noteworthy. But today some important fixes were merged for the ATA code to deal with a reported power management regression affecting the past number of Linux kernel releases over the last year. ATAPI devices with dummy ports weren't hitting their low-power state and in turn preventing the CPU from reaching low-power C-states but thankfully that is now resolved with this code...

In this article, you will learn how to install Dart on Linux and configure Vim as an IDE for Dart, with some examples showcasing the usage.

More packaging options for the leading all-FOSS browserIf you can't wait to get the bleeding-edge version of Firefox, we have good news. Mozilla is offering native RPM packages of Firefox Nightly for Linux distros in the greater Red Hat and SUSE families.…

Intel Linux engineers have been working on enhancing the NVMe storage performance with today's high core count processors. Due to situations where multiple CPUs could end up sharing the same NVMe IRQ(s), performance penalties can arise if the IRQ affinity and the CPU's cluster do not align. There is a pending patch to address this situation. A 15% performance improvement was reported with the pending patch...

In this article, you will learn how to install R and RStudio in your preferred Linux distribution and how to run your first program using RScript or RStudio, with practical examples.

Following recent discussions over AI contributions to the LLVM open-source compiler project, they have come to an agreement on allowing AI/tool-assisted contributions but that there must be a human involved that is first looking over the code before opening any pull request and similar. Strictly AI-driven contributions without any human vetting will not be permitted...

The BentoIO CMX0 is a low-profile IO-carrier board designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, combining a compact footprint with onboard cooling and expansion support. It is intended for space-constrained systems that require access to standard Raspberry Pi interfaces while maintaining a reduced overall height. The CMX0 supports both Compute Module 5 Lite and […]

Deploying vLLM for LLM inference and serving on NVIDIA hardware can be as easy as pip3 install vllm. Beautifully simple just as many of the AI/LLM Python libraries can deploy straight-away and typically "just work" on NVIDIA. Running vLLM atop AMD Radeon/Instinct hardware though has traditionally meant either compiling vLLM from source yourself or AMD's recommended approach of using Docker containers that contain pre-built versions of vLLM. Finally there is now a blessed Python wheel for making it easier to install vLLM without Docker and leveraging ROCm...

Strips the slop and snoopery from Chrome, Edge, and FirefoxThe promise of Just the Browser sounds good. Rather than fork one of the big-name browsers, just run a tiny script that turns off all the bits and functions you don't want.…
