📰 Your Gen 5 SSD is probably throttling right now, and you have no idea

You paid a premium for 14,000 MB/s speeds, but during a large Steam download or 4K video export, it feels like your PC is struggling to keep up and overall just comes across quite mushy. Unlike a CPU, which might trigger a loud fan spike, an SSD suffers in silence, making it hard for you to identify when it is actually occurring.

📰 I turned a Raspberry Pi and mini PC into a portable homelab that fits in my backpack

I love my homelab — but accessing it remotely from a hotel or café only gets me so far. That remote connection works fine for simpler tasks like checking dashboards, running scripts, waking up, or shutting down machines. But anything heavier — large file transfers, streaming, or running intensive workloads — quickly reveals public Wi-Fi’s limitations.

Из ветки ядра Linux 7.1 удалены старые Ethernet-драйверы, busmouse, AX25, ISDN и CAIF

Линус Торвальдс принял в состав ядра Linux 7.1, релиз которого ожидается в середине июня, набор патчей, исключающих из ядра Ethernet-драйверы, ранее рекомендованные для удаления Эндрю Ланном (Andrew Lunn), сопровождающим сетевые драйверы в ядре Linux. Помимо изначально предложенных Ethernet-драйверов из ядра исключены подсистема ISDN, реализации протоколов AX25, CAIF и Bluetooth CMTP (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface Message Transport Protocol), а также драйверы yellowfin (Yellowfin Gigabit-NIC), hamachi (Hamachi GNIC-II), hamradio (Amateur Radio), inport и logibm (busmouse).

Выпуск D7VK 1.8, реализации Direct3D 3-7 поверх API Vulkan

Опубликован выпуск проекта D7VK 1.8, развивающего реализацию графических API Direct3D 3, 5, 6 и 7, предложенных компанией Microsoft в 1996, 1997, 1998 и 1999 годах. D7VK работает через трансляцию вызовов в API Vulkan и позволяет при помощи Wine запускать в Linux ретро игры, завязанные на API Direct3D 3, 5, 6 и 7. Код проекта написан на языке C++ и распространяется под лицензией Zlib. В качестве основы при разработке использован код бэкенда d3d9 от проекта DXVK - D7VK преобразует API Direct3D 3, 5, 6 и 7 в вызовы Direct3D 9, которые затем транслируются в API Vulkan. Разработчик не намерен добиваться включения D7VK в состав DXVK, как это было с реализациями Direct3D 8 и Direct3D 9 поверх Vulkan.

Firefox’s free VPN is adding server location choice (and Android support)

Mozilla has attracted kudos since it added a free built-in VPN to its Firefox web browser, not least because of the generous 50 GB a month usage limit. Now it’s set to add another sweetener: server location choice. Mozilla began rolling out VPN integration in Firefox 149 for Windows, macOS and Linux to users in the UK, USA, France and Germany as a privacy shield: it hides your real IP address when browsing by routing traffic through a secure proxy server hosted by Fastly. Canada was added to that list with Firefox 150. The only hard requirement is that users must be […]
