📰 A used Lenovo M720q destroys the Raspberry Pi 5 in every way that matters

Building a home lab to handle all your services and experiments requires dedicated hardware. Starting with an SBC is a worthwhile approach for running a couple of projects. A full Raspberry Pi 5 kit can cost as much or more than a used mini PC, such as a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q.

Ubuntu MATE is looking for new maintainer

Ubuntu MATE is looking for new a maintainer, as project lead Martin Wimpress says he no longer has the ‘passion’ for the project he once had (nor the time). Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE back in 2014, pairing Ubuntu with the traditional MATE desktop created as fork of the old GNOME 2 codebase (now very much its own thing). Ubuntu MATE was made an official Ubuntu flavour in 2015, and its first official long-term support (LTS) release arrived the following year – but there won’t be an Ubuntu MATE 26.04 LTS release as it did not apply for LTS qualification.

Monogram, альтернативный открытый клиент Telegram для Android

Привет! Мы создали Monogram — новый открытый Telegram-клиент для Android на Kotlin и Jetpack Compose. Код доступен на GitHub под лицензией GPLv3, а новости — в нашем Telegram-канале.
Почему мы это сделали?
Официальный клиент превратился в переусложненный монолит, исходники которого публикуются с сильной задержкой. Кроме того, нам не нравится навязывание iOS-стиля в ущерб гайдлайнам Android.
Под капотом и фичи:
За ядро и шифрование отвечает официальная TDLib (C++). В остальном мы сделали ставку на нативность:
Интерфейс и реализация
Строгий Material Design 3. Плавный и легкий благодаря встроенным нативным компонентам Android.

📰 AMD Revives Linux Kernel Patches For Hardware-Accelerated vIOMMU

Back in 2023 AMD posted hardware-accelerated virtualized IOMMU patches for the Linux kernel as a request for comments (RFC). In 2024 they then posted a second iteration of the AMD vIOMMU patches but then seemingly fell off the radar. This morning is now the first set of updated AMD vIOMMU patches sent out on the Linux kernel mailing list with the RFC tag now removed...

Windows Kerberos RC4 deprecation: what will break in Active Directory and how to fix it

Starting in April 2026, Windows updates will change the default Kerberos ticket issuance behavior to AES-SHA1 for accounts without explicit encryption settings, while RC4 can still be used where explicitly enabled. This change, driven by CVE-2026-20833, affects every Windows Server environment where service accounts or devices still rely on RC4. Any service account, NAS device, or legacy application not explicitly configured for AES-SHA1 encryption may lose authentication capability. This article explains what Kerberos and RC4 are, what will break in April 2026, and what you must do to prevent outages.
