Fedora 32 plans to include earlyoom for early response to memory shortages.

The plan to enable the earlyoom background process by default in Fedora 32 has been published, allowing for early response to memory shortages in the system. If the available memory falls below a specified value, earlyoom will forcefully terminate the process that consumes the most memory (with the highest value in /proc/*/oom_score) by sending SIGTERM (less than 10% free memory) or SIGKILL (< 5%), without letting the state […]

Using TSDuck for Monitoring IP (TS) Streams

To date, there are ready-made (proprietary) solutions for monitoring IP(TS) streams, such as VB and iQ, which have a rich set of features and are usually available from large operators dealing with TV services. This article describes a solution based on the open source project TSDuck, intended for minimal monitoring of IP(TS) streams via the CC (continuity counter) and bitrate. Possible […]

Arch Linux has switched to using the zstd algorithm for package compression.

Arch Linux developers announced the transition of the package packaging scheme from the xz algorithm (.pkg.tar.xz) to zstd (.pkg.tar.zst). The repackaging of the packages into the zstd format resulted in a total package size increase of 0.8%, but improved unpacking speed by 1300%. As a result, the switch to zstd will lead to a significant increase in package installation speed. Currently, the repository uses the algorithm […]

Visually, it mirrors the logo of the desktop version based on the Chromium engine, which was introduced back in November of last year. At that time, the developers promised that they would gradually add the new visual appearance across all platforms. […]

And yet she is alive — ReiserFS 5 announced!

No one expected that on December 31, Eduard Shishkin (developer and maintainer of ReiserFS 4) would announce a new version of one of the fastest file systems for Linux — RaiserFS 5. The fifth version introduces a new method for combining block devices into logical volumes. I believe this represents a qualitatively new level in the development of file systems (and operating systems) — local volumes […]
