Since the release in May of Firefox 151, Mozilla has been relying on the zlib-rs library for Gzip compression/decompression. This subtle change to use this Rust-based Zlib implementation has yielded some performance benefits and better memory safety but also some headaches when dealing with Intel CPU bugs...
For decades, the power industry has relied on "black box" proprietary appliances. While reliable, these hard-wired fixed-function devices have created a landscape of vendor lock-in, where hardware refresh cycles (often lasting 20 years) dictate the pace of software innovation. The operational effort required just to apply a cyber-security patch can be immense, diverting resources that could be focused on introducing new functionality or AI capabilities.As we face a global talent shortage and the urgent need to integrate renewables and AI data center demands into the grid, the status quo is no
Last year, we released the automation intelligent assistant (formerly Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed intelligent assistant), a generative AI service accessed through a chatbot embedded within Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Using a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipeline connected to Red Hat documentation and other trusted resources, the intelligent assistant allows administrators to use natural language prompts to help them manage and troubleshoot Ansible Automation Platform without leaving the platform UI. The automation intelligent assistant in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platfor
There is no shortage of different file-systems available for Linux. New file-systems continue to come about in the open-source world but ultimately many of them end up not being well maintained or having very limited users and not necessarily innovating enough to make them worthwhile over other alternatives. Given the continued increase in file-systems looking to get into the Linux kernel, such as FTRFS and VMUFAT being some of the most recent and then even having multiple NTFS drivers for Linux, there is now documentation in place to formally lay out criteria for new file-systems to be accepted...
It's been a while since there has been any Slackware news to pass along, but this week they've finally landed the KDE Plasma 6 desktop in this legendary Linux distribution...
The Btrfs file-system feature updates have been merged for the Linux 7.2 kernel with a few noteworthy changes for this copy-on-write file-system...
Wayland developers have prepared the release of Weston 16.0 Alpha 1 for this reference Wayland compositor with new features...
Yet another performance optimization merged for the in-development Linux 7.2 kernel is improving the speed of anon_pipe_write, the kernel function used for writing data into anonymous/unnamed pipes such as when using shell pipelines or standard streams from applications...
