📰 Linux Erroneously Thinks Intel Bartlett Lake CPUs Run At 7GHz
With Intel's recently-launched Bartlett Lake P-core-only processors intended for the embedded market, there is a rather surprising oversight under Linux: the Intel P-State driver reporting a 7.0+ GHz clock speed. While many would yearn for a 7GHz CPU, the Core 9 273PE where this issue was discovered in reality can only boost up to 5.7GHz for its maximum turbo frequency...

📰 Pi-hole showed me 65,000 DNS queries in hours, and I didn't like where they were going
Like most self-hosting enthusiasts, I also installed Pi-hole, implemented it network-wide, and moved on thinking it finally gave me control over my network along with a cleaner browsing experience. Running it on my Debian Docker setup already felt like a solid upgrade, and in no time it quietly embedded itself into my setup. Since it was implemented network-wide, every device on my network was already using it silently.

📰 HP Z6 G5 A Continues Working Out Well For Linux-Friendly, High-End Workstation
In late 2023 I reviewed the HP Z6 G5 A workstation that at the time was built around the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 series and NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation graphics. More recently, HP has revised the Z6 G5 A workstation for the latest Threadripper PRO 9000 series and NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell graphics. HP sent over the upgraded Z6 G5 A workstation that I've been benchmarking the past few weeks.

📰 I stopped recommending Linux Mint after trying Lubuntu on a nine-year-old laptop
It's often said that Linux is the perfect way to breathe new life into an old laptop, but the exact version of Linux you should choose is always up in the air. Linux Mint is a common recommendation that's stable and modern enough to have all the features you need, but there are others that are more focused on even older hardware, like antiX and MX Linux.
