The release of Rocky Linux 8.5 has taken place, aimed at creating a free build of RHEL, capable of filling the gap left by classic CentOS after Red Hat decided to end support for the CentOS 8 branch at the end of 2021, instead of the originally planned 2029. This is the second stable release of the project, deemed ready for production deployments. Rocky Linux builds […]
A new version of the Tor Browser 11.0.1 is available. The browser focuses on ensuring anonymity, security, and privacy, with all traffic routed exclusively through the Tor network. Direct access through the current system's standard network connection is impossible, preventing the tracking of the user's real IP address (in case the browser is compromised, attackers may gain access to system network parameters, hence complete blocking options are available […]

A new version of WineVDM 0.8 has been released — a compatibility layer for running 16-bit Windows applications (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.x) on 64-bit operating systems, translating calls from programs written for Win16 into Win32 calls. It supports binding of executable programs to WineVDM as well as functioning installers, making the user experience with 16-bit programs indistinguishable from working with 32-bit ones. The project's code […]
An unofficial build of the experimental branch of LineageOS 19.0, based on Android 12, has been formed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Compute Module 4 with 2, 4, or 8 GB of RAM, as well as for the Raspberry Pi 400 all-in-one.
