📰 Linux 6.17 File-System Benchmarks, Including OpenZFS & Bcachefs

Linux 6.17 is an interesting time to carry out fresh file-system benchmarks given that EXT4 has seen some scalability improvements while Bcachefs in the mainline kernel is now in a frozen state. Linux 6.17 is also what's powering Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10 out-of-the-box to make such a comparison even more interesting.

Canonical’s engineers announced plans for Ubuntu Dangerous desktop images last month (which I covered in a snarky conversation format).

Google представил AI-возможности Chrome

Компания Google объявила об интеграции в Chrome десяти новых возможностей, связанных с использованием AI-моделей. Первой возможностью стал интегрированный в браузер чат-бот Gemini, который может пояснять содержимое просматриваемой страницы и отвечать на связанные со страницей вопросы, не переключаясь с текущей вкладки.
