Gnome developers request not to use themes in their applications

Posted on

A group of independent application developers for Linux wrote an open letter asking the Gnome community to stop using themes in their applications. The letter was addressed to the maintainers of distributions that embed their own GTK themes and icon sets, instead of the defaults. Many well-known distributions use their own themes and icon sets to give the system a cohesive style, highlight their brand, and provide users with a unique experience. […]

Mozilla Roadmap

Posted on

The Mozilla browser development team (Netscape Communicator 5.0) chose the GTK+ library as the primary development toolkit for XWindow, thus replacing the commercial Motif. The GTK+ library was created during the development of the GIMP graphics editor and is now used in the GNOME project (developing a free graphical environment for UNIX).

In China, a prototype maglev train has been developed, reaching speeds of 600 km/h

Posted on

A new ultra-fast magnetic levitation train, capable of reaching speeds up to 600 km/h, has moved a step closer to reality in China. On Thursday, the completion of the prototype assembly for the magnetic levitation vehicle was announced at a facility in Qingdao, a port city in Shandong province in eastern China. Created by the state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), the largest in the world […]

Data loss issue on SSDs when using Linux kernel 5.1, LVM, and dm-crypt

Posted on

The corrective release of the Linux kernel 5.1.5 fixed a problem in the DM (Device Mapper) subsystem that could lead to data corruption on SSD drives. The problem emerged after a change was added to the kernel in January this year, affecting only the 5.1 branch and predominantly manifesting on systems with Samsung SSDs that use data encryption with […]

Beer Through the Eyes of a Chemist. Part 3

Posted on

Hello, %username%. While you’re tinkering with your device, we continue our discussion on beer, which we’ve partially covered here, a bit more here, but we’re still not stopping! I’m endlessly glad that I decided to stretch this into a series of articles because from the comments, I realized that many questions, which seemed minor at the very beginning, need to be […]

The complete specifications of the AMD X570 chipset have been revealed.

Posted on

With the release of the new Ryzen 3000 processors built on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, AMD plans to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of its ecosystem. Although the new CPUs will maintain compatibility with the Socket AM4 socket, developers plan to introduce PCI Express 4.0, which will now be supported universally: not just by the processors, but also by the chipset. In other words, after the release […]

When tired of virtual

Posted on

Under the cut is a short verse about why I'm increasingly annoyed by computers and a sedentary lifestyle. Who is flying off into the world of games? Who has to quietly wait, leaning against plush pillows? To love, to hope, to dream That our real world will return To whose virtual world through the window? And will a night peach break through the net of illusions into the man’s home? So […]

The code for VictoriaMetrics, a time series database compatible with Prometheus, is open source.

Posted on

The source texts of VictoriaMetrics have been opened — a fast and scalable DBMS for storing and processing data in the form of time series (a record forms time and a set of corresponding values for that time, for example, obtained through periodic sensor state polling or metric collection). The project competes with solutions such as InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, Thanos, Cortex, and Uber M3. The code is written in Go […]

An error in OpenSSL disrupted the operation of some openSUSE Tumbleweed applications after an update.

Posted on

The OpenSSL upgrade to version 1.1.1b in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository led to functionality issues for some applications related to libopenssl that utilize Russian or Ukrainian locales. The problem arose after a change was made to the error message buffer handler (SYS_str_reasons) in OpenSSL. The buffer was set at 4 kilobytes, which turned out to be insufficient for some Unicode locales. The output of strerror_r, used for […]

Galaxy Microsystems has unveiled two new versions of the GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card in China, distinguished by their unusual blue color. One of the new models is called the GeForce RTX 2070 Mini, which is quite compact, while the other is named the GeForce RTX 2070 Metal Master (a literal translation from Chinese) and is a full-size model.

How I wrote my monitoring

Posted on

I decided to share my story. Maybe this budget solution to a well-known problem will help someone. When I was young and full of energy and didn’t know where to channel it, I decided to do a little freelancing. I quickly managed to build my rating and found a couple of regular clients who asked me to maintain their servers on an ongoing basis. The first thing I thought of […]

Intel is working on optical chips for more efficient AI

Posted on

Photonics integrated circuits or optical chips potentially offer numerous advantages over their electronic counterparts, such as reduced power consumption and lower latency in computations. This is why many researchers believe they could be extremely effective in machine learning tasks and artificial intelligence (AI) development. Intel also sees significant potential for the application of silicon photonics in […]
