📰 AMD PerfOpt Boosting Prior-Gen Ryzen APU Performance For AI

Last week I ran benchmarks of the new AMD PerfOpt feature being introduced in Linux 7.4. In those PerfOpt benchmarks on current-gen AMD Ryzen AI APUs/SoCs the AI performance improved as much as 18~23%. Several Phoronix readers expressed interest in seeing how prior-gen AMD Ryzen hardware benefited or not from PerfOpt, so here are some additional benchmarks.

Linux Mint 27 ‘Adrien’ is coming at Christmas

Linux Mint shook up its release schedule this year and now it’s shaking up its versioning scheme too – the next release won’t be Linux Mint 23, but Linux Mint 27. The new versioning scheme is based on the year, so the following release will be v28 and so on. The release also sees the start of a new series of release codenames. Linux Mint previously used (traditionally) female forenames. Having now spanned the entire alphabet – v1.0 ‘Ada’ in 2006 through the most recent v22.3 ‘Zena’ – Linux Mint is cycling back to ‘A’. Linux Mint 27 is codenamed […]

npm Trusted Publishing flaw put 1,500 packages at risk of takeover

GitHub has changed npm Trusted Publishing so unused configurations expire after 48 hours, addressing a flaw that put more than 1,500 packages at risk of takeover. Attackers could claim an abandoned GitHub repository name and publish under a package’s legitimate npm name—without stealing credentials. The exposed packages have more than 10 million downloads combined.

‍CloudMus — новый кроссплатформенный открытый плеер для Яндекс Музыки и YouTube Music

Встречайте CloudMus. Это музыкальный проигрыватель для Linux и Windows, который собирает в одном окне Яндекс Музыку, YouTube Music и музыку из локальной папки. У всех источников одна очередь, одна история и одинаковое управление.
Автора замучили плееры-обёртки сайтов на Electron, которые тормозят, выжирают память и батарею ноутбука, автор вынашивал эту идею 10 лет, теперь с Клодом может себе это позволить ). Плеер написан на C++20/Qt 6, звук играет через libmpv, распространяется под лицензией MIT. Для Linux есть AppImage, для Windows – инсталлятор.
Кроме привычных функций плеера, сделан максимальный упор на визуал, в нём есть стеклянный интерфейс с настоящим размытием фона на KDE Plasma, Wayland-композиторах и Windows 11, своя визуальная тема, плавные анимации для поддержки мониторов >60Hz, а также глобальные хоткеи на все основные действия, включая лайк, дизлайк и скачивание трека. Хоткеи работают в KDE, GNOME 48+, на X11 и в Windows. Ещё есть полноценный MPRIS, SMTC (медиаинтеграция с DE), скачивание треков и плейлистов, предзагрузка следующего трека и отдельный прокси для каждого сервиса: например, YouTube Music через прокси, а Яндекс Музыка напрямую.
Текущая версия проекта — 0.6.1.
