Для ядра Linux реализованы новые файловые системы BeamFS, XMFS и MeshXFS

Для обсуждения в списке рассылки разработчиков ядра Linux опубликованы патчи с реализацией файловой системы BeamFS, использующей кодирование Рида - Соломона для определения и восстановления повреждённых данных по месту в конфигурациях с одним накопителем. Основными областями применения BeamFS называются бортовые компьютеры спутников, оборудование в кабинетах лучевой терапии и прочие системы, работающие в условиях повышенной радиации, для которых возвращение искажённых данных более критично, чем невозможность прочитать информацию.

Replit CEO prefers OpenAI over Anthropic for coding

Replit is a browser-based platform for building and deploying software with AI. Replit is making OpenAI its preferred provider for Replit Agent, while keeping Anthropic models available to users. CEO Amjad Masad said the decision reflects cost, partnership, and performance, and claimed OpenAI’s Sol and Astra models perform better on Replit’s coding benchmarks. The shift changes the default—not the platform’s access to other providers.

DeepSeek open-sources its DeepInfer inference framework

An inference framework is the software that runs AI models and manages the hardware and processes needed to generate responses.

But the open-source drop is offline inference—not a ready-to-deploy service—and initially supports DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on NVIDIA SM100 GPUs and Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs.

Give Nautilus file manager the ‘Computer’ view it lacks

The Nautilus file manager is great for browsing your files and folders, but it lacks a dedicated way to see all your drives a how much space is left on each – but you can add one.

Drives can be interacted with like folders, so double-click on one to enter it or right-click to access options to open it in new tab, or window or to unmount or eject, etc., depending on the drive/mount type. A ‘Preferred Folders’ section sits at […]
