Arm AGI CPU claims 1.99x modeled rack performance over AMD EPYC 9755
Arm says its AGI CPU delivered 1.99 times AMD EPYC 9755’s average performance per rack across seven agentic AI workloads. The advantage comes largely from a power-based model that fits 21 or 23 Arm servers in a 24 kW rack, compared with 13 AMD servers—not from a twofold per-chip lead. Signal65 reviewed the results, but did not rerun the tests in its own lab or measure fully populated racks.

AI agents break into 100+ sites for about $50 per hack
A Chinese-speaking hacker used AI agents to attempt more than 1,200 break-ins, compromising over 100 websites, including sites linked to Deere, SharkNinja, and Cummins. The campaign reportedly cost about $5,000 in AI tokens—roughly $50 per successful intrusion—and agents worked for hours with little human input.

NordVPN 6.0 for Linux will feature ‘breaking changes’
NordVPN is updating its Linux app to offer a “cleaner, simpler way to manage VPN connections” from the command line. The NordVPN 6.0 update, which is coming soon and not yet out, “cuts down” the amount of commands which “overlap”. The company say this will make it easier for users to enable and configure VPN settings. Among the changes, NordVPN 6.0 combines protocol and technology settings in a nordvpn set protocol command, while obfuscation is now handled by NordWhisper, rather than a separate setting. And now that standard servers support P2P traffic, there’s no longer any need to create a […]

Доступен порт Wine для OpenBSD
Представлен порт прослойки для запуска Windows-приложений Wine, способный работать в OpenBSD. Основная проблема с запуском Wine в OpenBSD связана с запретом в данной ОС установки регистра gsbase из пользовательского пространства, при том, что при выполнении Windows-приложений данный регистр применяется для доступа к локальной памяти потока. В предложенном проекте данное ограничение устранено через эмуляцию префикса сегмента %gs в командах.

📰 I built a $15 ESP32 display that shows exactly what my home server is doing
My home Debian server runs on a repurposed Dell Latitude laptop and hosts more than 20 self-hosted services. Soon after building the server, I learned about the importance of monitoring. I always have multiple monitoring and management tools inside and outside the server, like Pulse, Beszel, and Komodo. But they all have one gap: I have to open a dashboard or an app (ntfy) on my phone to check my server status.
