Banana Pi’s BPI-CM6 is a compute module based on the SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V processor. First revealed in April 2025, the module is now available for purchase from multiple sources and is described as a compact compute platform for edge computing, robotics, industrial control, and network storage applications. The BPI-CM6 adopts a 40 × 55 […]

AMD researchers argue that, while algorithms like the Ozaki scheme merit investigation, they're still not ready for prime time.Double precision floating point computation (aka FP64) is what keeps modern aircraft in the sky, rockets going up, vaccines effective, and, yes, nuclear weapons operational. But rather than building dedicated chips that process this essential data type in hardware, Nvidia is leaning on emulation to increase performance for HPC and scientific computing applications, an area where AMD has had the lead in recent generations.…

In this article, you will learn the advantages of using the Scala programming language and how to install it on your preferred Linux system with a practical example.

I’m sharing a KDE Plasma desktop customization inspired by cozy sunset tones.The setup focuses on warm yellow–orange colors, a transparent panel, and a playful chibi astronaut wallpaper, creating a calm and comfortable desktop for daily use.

Earlier this month we looked at the Dell Pro Max GB10 performance up against AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" with the superior performance for the green team for performance and power efficiency. For those wondering how the Dell Pro Max GB10 performance comes up for the much talked about NVIDIA GH200, here are some comparison benchmarks.

In late 2023 Mozilla began providing Debian packages of Firefox Nightly builds complete with an APT repository. Those on Debian/Ubuntu distributions have a much easier path for enjoying Firefox Nightly since then and now Mozilla engineers are providing similar RPM builds of Firefox nightly too...

Following below is an attempt to deploy Arch Linux KVM Guest via archinstall 3.0.15-2. Load Guest via virt-manager into spice console. Pre-install archinstall 3.0.15-2 seems to be needless. However, straight forward run `python -m archinstall` having git clone done and skipping first upgrade didn't work for me .

'OpenSlopware' briefly flowers, fades, falls – but fortunately was forked, fastThe splendidly-named "OpenSlopware" was, for a short time, a list of open source projects using LLM bots. Due to harassment, it's gone, but forks of it live on.…

ReactOS as the long-in-development "open-source Windows" project has been on quite a roll recently. Beyond a big Windows NT 6 compatibility improvement and fixing a very annoying usability issue, for this third week of the year there is another big change landing: a significant improvement in networking performance on ReactOS...

Axiomtek has unveiled the AIE015-AT, a robotics developer kit built around NVIDIA Jetson Thor. The system is described as combining high compute density with multi-camera support and industrial I/O for robotics and physical AI workloads. The platform is shown with Jetson Thor T5000 or T4000 modules, offering up to 2070 TFLOPS of compute performance. Axiomtek […]

Synex is a Linux distribution that's been around for some months as a Debian-based, minimalistic Linux distribution out of Argentina focused on the needs of small and medium businesses. Making it a bit more intriguing for some now is that with their new release based on Debian 13 is a server edition and they have added native OpenZFS file-system support for new installations...

No matter how reliable Linux systems are, failures still happen. A broken bootloader, a corrupted filesystem, a failed update, or a dying disk can leave even the most stable setup unbootable. That’s where Linux rescue and repair distributions come in.

A new BSD on the block is ChaosBSD that intends to serve as a testing distribution for unfinished and broken drivers not suitable for upstreaming to FreeBSD proper...
