📰 I turned my dusty Chromecast into a $250 smart home hub replacement

Linux 7.0 kernel released

Linus Torvalds has released Linux 7.0, the kernel version that Ubuntu 26.04 LTS runs on. Linux 7.0 includes a new standardised filesystem error reporting system, faster swap memory and zram performance and hardware video decoding for a set of Rockchip ARM64 single-board computers. On the quirky additions side, Rock Band 4 Bluetooth controller support is included. The shiny new version number does not, however, signify anything special. Linus has always been upfront that kernel version numbers tick up when the minor number gets a tad unwieldy, not because a ‘milestone’ has been reached. That said, there is plenty in this […]

Quick Lofi – a GNOME extension for chill beats to study to

Quick Lofi is a GNOME Shell extension that puts a lofi radio player in your top bar. If you’ve ever opened a new browser tab to load a “lofi beats to study to” stream on YouTube — lofi girl, perhaps – to act as an ambient backdrop to work to, the appeal will be evident. If not, all you need to know is that mellow, lyric-free, low-tempo sounds are reputedly ideal for focus. A wedge of research backs up the benefits of playing background music (or ambient noise or frequencies, including binaural beats) when studying. A 2022 study showed students who […]

Entra ID Conditional Access Optimization Agent: AI-driven policy gap detection

Microsoft's Conditional Access Optimization Agent uses AI to continuously scan your Microsoft Entra ID environment for policy gaps and recommend remediations. It requires a Microsoft Entra ID P1 license and a Microsoft Security Copilot subscription. Several new features are in public preview, including context-aware recommendations, deep gap analysis across all policies, and phased policy rollouts. This article explains what Conditional Access policies are, how the agent works, what you need to run it, and where its limitations lie.

Linux 7.0

После двух месяцев разработки Линус Торвальдс представил релиз ядра Linux 7.0. Среди наиболее заметных изменений: правила применения AI-ассистентов, перевод Rust в основные возможности ядра, повышение производительности подкачки, включение по умолчанию режима PREEMPT_LAZY, поддержка фильтров для операций io_uring, новая ФС Nullfs, инфраструктура fserror, средства мониторинга XFS, поддержка ремапинга в Btrfs, включение по умолчанию версии NFS 4.1, интеграция пост-квантового криптоалгоритма ML-DSA, активация AccECN в сетевой подсистеме, начальная поддержка WiFi 8.
Номер 7.0 присвоен, так как в ветке 6.x накопилось достаточного выпусков для смены первого числа в номере версии (в своё время выпуск 6.0 был сформирован следом за 5.19). Смена нумерации осуществляется из эстетических соображений и является формальным шагом, снимающим дискомфорт из-за накопления большого числа выпусков в серии.
В новую версию принято 15624 исправления от 2477 разработчиков, размер патча – 56 МБ (изменения затронули 18053 файла, добавлено 704060 строк кода, удалено 278132 строки). В прошлом выпуске было 15657 исправлений от 2237 разработчиков, размер патча – 52 МБ. Около 51% всех представленных в 7.0 изменений связаны с драйверами устройств, примерно 11% изменений имеют отношение к обновлению кода, специфичного для аппаратных архитектур, 14% связано с сетевым стеком, 5% – с файловыми системами и 3% c внутренними подсистемами ядра.
