RT @PrismML: Heute kündigen wir Bonsai 27B an: das erste 27B-Modell, das auf einem Smartphone läuft. Bonsai 27B ist der neue multimodale Flaggschiff der Bonsai-Familie. Basierend auf Qwen3.6 27B bringt es eine neue Fähigkeitsebene für lokale KI: mehrstufiges Reasoning, strukturierte Werkzeugnutzung, Long-Context-Workflows und kohärente agentic loops. Bisher waren Modelle dieser Klasse für lokale Bereitstellungen unpraktikabel. Ein 27B-Modell belegt etwa 54 GB im 16-Bit-Format, und selbst eine starke 4-Bit-Variante ist rund 18 GB groß - zu groß für ein Smartphone und die meisten Laptops. Bonsai 27B ändert das. Es wird in zwei Varianten angeboten: • Ternary Bonsai 27B: 5,9 GB, 1,71 effektive Bits pro Gewicht, optimiert für Laptop-Qualität. • 1-bit Bonsai 27B: 3,9 GB, 1,125 effektive Bits pro Gewicht, optimiert für Smartphone-Fußabdruck. Alles wird heute unter der Apache 2.0-Lizenz quelloffen veröffentlicht.

🐢🚀 Pardus Boot Analyzer: Instrumentul ideal pentru a analiza și optimiza pornirea sistemului tău Linux

Timpul de pornire al unui sistem de operare este un indicator crucial al performanței și al sănătății sale generale. Chiar și pe distribuțiile rapide de Linux, pe măsură ce instalezi noi servicii, servere de baze de date sau aplicații de fundal, timpul de boot poate crește considerabil.

Dezvoltat inițial în cadrul distribuției turcești Pardus Linux, dar compatibil cu majoritatea sistemelor moderne, Pardus Boot Analyzer este un utilitar open-source grafic, conceput special pentru a ajuta utilizatorii să vizualizeze, să înțeleagă și să elimine blocajele din procesul de pornire.

În loc să te lupți cu comenzi complexe în terminal, acest instrument aduce o interfață vizuală intuitivă pentru diagnosticarea rapidă a serviciilor leneșe.

Iată principalele caracteristici și beneficii ale Pardus Boot Analyzer:

🔹 Vizualizarea detaliată a procesului de boot (Grafic de tip diagramă):
Aplicația acționează ca o interfață grafică (GUI) extrem de prietenoasă peste utilitarul de sistem standard systemd-analyze. Aceasta generează diagrame interactive care îți arată exact:

Momentul precis în care a pornit fiecare serviciu de sistem.

Cât timp a durat inițializarea fiecărui modul (de la încărcarea kernelului și a driverelor, până la pornirea managerului de display grafic).

Dependențele dintre servicii (care serviciu blochează pornirea altuia).

🔹 Identificarea instantanee a „vinovaților”:
Pardus Boot Analyzer sortează automat procesele de start în funcție de impactul lor asupra timpului de boot. Serviciile care consumă cele mai multe secunde sunt evidențiate clar, permițându-ți să vezi dacă un server de baze de date (cum ar fi MySQL/PostgreSQL), un serviciu Docker sau un client de rețea neconfigurat corect îți încetinește computerul la pornire.

🔹 Dezactivarea sigură a serviciilor inutile:
Odată identificat un proces lent sau neimportant (de exemplu, serviciul de imprimare Cups dacă nu deții o imprimantă, sau modulul de Bluetooth pe un PC fără adaptor), Pardus Boot Analyzer îți permite să îl oprești sau să îi dezactivezi pornirea automată direct din interfață. Acest lucru elimină riscul de a introduce comenzi greșite în consolă.

🔹 Interfață simplă și curată (GTK):
Construită folosind bibliotecile GTK, aplicația este extrem de ușoară, pornește instantaneu și se integrează perfect în mediile desktop moderne precum GNOME, XFCE sau MATE. Designul său minimalist este structurat astfel încât chiar și utilizatorii care abia au făcut tranziția către Linux să poată naviga printre datele de diagnostic fără a se simți intimidați.

Pardus Boot Analyzer transformă optimizarea sistemului dintr-o sarcină tehnică dificilă într-o activitate vizuală simplă, fiind un utilitar excelent pe care orice utilizator de Linux ar trebui să îl aibă în arsenalul de mentenanță.

🐧⚡ Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.1 a fost lansat: Îmbunătățește masiv reactivitatea sistemului prin noi optimizări de top

Pentru utilizatorii de Linux care își doresc performanță brută în jocuri, producție audio-video sau sarcini zilnice de birou, nucleul Liquorix este o referință de neegalat. Conceput ca un înlocuitor direct (drop-in replacement) pentru kernelul standard din distribuții precum Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux sau Fedora, noul Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.1 a fost lansat oficial, aducând îmbunătățiri spectaculoase în ceea ce privește latența și timpii de răspuns ai sistemului.

Spre deosebire de nucleele generice oferite implicit de distribuții, care sunt optimizate pentru stabilitatea serverelor și eficiență energetică, Liquorix este configurat special pentru desktop-uri și stații de lucru de înaltă performanță.

Iată principalele noutăți și optimizări din versiunea 7.1:

🔹 Algoritm de planificare (Scheduler) ultra-reactiv:
Inima optimizărilor Liquorix rămâne planificatorul de procese, reglat fin pentru a prioritiza sarcinile interactive (cum ar fi interfața grafică, mișcările mouse-ului sau ferestrele active):

Latență minimă: Kernelul 7.1 reduce timpul în care procesorul comută între sarcini, asigurându-se că aplicațiile pe care le folosești activ primesc instantaneu resursele necesare, chiar și atunci când în fundal rulează procese de compilare sau randare masivă.

Preemption complet (Hard Preemption): Sistemul este configurat să întrerupă rapid sarcinile de fundal mai puțin importante pentru a menține fluiditatea audio și video în timp real.

🔹 Noi optimizări pentru jocuri și aplicații de tip Workstation:
Versiunea 7.1 introduce optimizări specifice care vor fi imediat resimțite de gameri și creatori de conținut:

Frame-rate mai stabil (1% Low FPS îmbunătățit): Prin gestionarea inteligentă a firelor de execuție, jocurile rulate prin Wine/Proton sau nativ pe Linux vor înregistra mult mai puține agățări (stuttering), oferind o experiență de joc considerabil mai fluidă.

Producție audio cu latență ultra-scăzută: Utilizatorii care lucrează cu DAW-uri (Digital Audio Workstations) și servere audio precum PipeWire sau JACK vor beneficia de o transmisie audio fără erori de tip xrun (pârâituri sau întreruperi de sunet).

🔹 Management avansat al memoriei (BBR2 Congestion Control & MGLRU):

MGLRU (Multi-Gen LRU): Această tehnologie inteligentă de gestionare a memoriei RAM determină mult mai precis care pagini de memorie sunt utilizate frecvent și care pot fi mutate în swap. Rezultatul este o reducere drastică a blocajelor atunci când memoria RAM a sistemului este aproape plină.

BBR2 TCP Congestion Control: Pentru conexiunile de rețea, Liquorix folosește algoritmul BBR2 dezvoltat de Google, asigurând viteze de descărcare mai mari și o latență de rețea redusă în timpul navigării pe internet sau al jocurilor online multiplayer.

🔹 Configurație curățată și compilare optimizată pentru procesoare moderne:
Spre deosebire de kernelurile universale, pachetele Liquorix sunt compilate folosind instrucțiuni specifice procesoarelor moderne, profitând la maximum de arhitecturile AMD Ryzen și Intel Core de ultimă generație. De asemenea, opțiunile inutile de debugging din kernel au fost dezactivate pentru a reduce dimensiunea codului și a maximiza viteza de execuție.

Dacă vrei ca desktopul tău Linux să se simtă incredibil de rapid și să răspundă instantaneu la comenzi, actualizarea la Liquorix 7.1 reprezintă una dintre cele mai bune și simple îmbunătățiri pe care le poți aduce sistemului tău.

📱💻 Scrcpy 4.1 a fost lansat: Adaugă suport pentru codificatoarele video VP8 și VP9

Scrcpy, unul dintre cele mai populare și eficiente utilitare open-source pentru controlul și oglindirea (mirroring) ecranului dispozitivelor Android direct pe PC (Linux, Windows, macOS), a primit o nouă actualizare importantă: versiunea Scrcpy 4.1.

Această lansare se concentrează pe extinderea compatibilității video și pe optimizarea transmisiunii de date, adăugând suport nativ pentru două codecuri video extrem de importante: VP8 și VP9.

Iată principalele noutăți aduse de Scrcpy 4.1:

🔹 Suport extins pentru codificatoarele VP8 și VP9:
Până acum, Scrcpy se baza în principal pe codecurile H.264 (implicit) și H.265 (HEVC) sau AV1 pentru a comprima și transmite fluxul video de pe ecranul telefonului către calculator. Începând cu versiunea 4.1, utilizatorii pot alege să folosească VP8 sau VP9:

De ce este important? Unele dispozitive Android mai vechi sau cu procesoare specifice nu au o accelerare hardware optimizată pentru H.264/H.265, dar pot gestiona excelent codec-urile din familia VP. Suportul pentru VP9 oferă, de asemenea, o calitate vizuală superioară la o lățime de bandă redusă, făcând streamingul mai fluid pe conexiunile wireless mai slabe.

Pentru a folosi noile codecuri, utilizatorii pot lansa utilitarul cu parametrii dedcați:

Bash
scrcpy --video-codec=vp8
# sau
scrcpy --video-codec=vp9
🔹 Optimizări pentru latență și latență audio:
Scrcpy 4.1 aduce retușuri suplimentare sub capotă pentru a reduce latența transmisiunii audio și video. Sincronizarea dintre ecran și sunet a fost îmbunătățită, un aspect crucial pentru utilizatorii care folosesc aplicația pentru a se juca jocuri de pe mobil direct pe ecranul monitorului sau pentru a viziona clipuri video.

🔹 Îmbunătățiri ale interfeței de linie de comandă (CLI):
Parametrii de configurare au fost rafinați pentru a oferi un control mai bun. De exemplu, au fost corectate câteva probleme legate de scalarea ferestrelor pe ecranele cu rezoluție mare (HiDPI) și s-au adăugat mesaje de eroare mai clare în consolă atunci când codecul selectat nu este suportat hardware de către dispozitivul Android conectat.

🔹 Corecții de bug-uri sub Windows și Linux:
Au fost rezolvate diverse mici erori de conexiune prin ADB (Android Debug Bridge), în special cele care apăreau la deconectarea și reconectarea rapidă a cablului USB sau în timpul utilizării conexiunii wireless (scrcpy --tcpip).

Scrcpy 4.1 își reconfirmă statutul de cel mai rapid, ușor și versatil instrument de oglindire pentru Android, oferind utilizatorilor și mai multă flexibilitate în adaptarea calității video la capabilitățile hardware ale dispozitivelor lor.

💾🌐 Clonezilla Live 3.3.3 a fost lansat: Introduce clonarea în rețea prin conexiune inversă (Reverse Connection)

Clonezilla, legendarul instrument open-source dedicat clonării și realizării de copii de siguranță (backup) pentru hard disk-uri și partiții, a primit o nouă actualizare importantă: versiunea Clonezilla Live 3.3.3. Această lansare aduce o funcție extrem de utilă pentru administratorii de sistem care gestionează servere și stații de lucru de la distanță: clonarea prin rețea folosind conexiuni inverse.

Pe lângă această noutate majoră, versiunea 3.3.3 vine la pachet cu pachete actualizate, un nucleu Linux mai nou și o serie de corecții de securitate menite să asigure un proces de clonare fără erori.

Iată principalele detalii ale acestei actualizări:

🔹 Clonarea prin conexiune inversă (Reverse Connection Network Cloning):
Aceasta este funcția vedetă a noii versiuni. În mod tradițional, când se realiza o clonare în rețea, mașina client (cea care trebuia clonată sau pe care se restaura imaginea) trebuia să inițieze conexiunea direct către server. Totuși, în medii de rețea complexe, regulile stricte de firewall sau tabelele NAT puteau bloca acest trafic.

Noua opțiune de conexiune inversă permite serverului Clonezilla să inițieze el însuși conexiunea către mașina destinație.

Acest comportament ocolește cu ușurință blocajele de firewall de pe partea clientului și simplifică radical administrarea fluxurilor de lucru în rețelele enterprise mari.

🔹 Nucleu Linux actualizat:
Pentru a asigura compatibilitatea cu cele mai noi componente hardware (procesoare, controlere de stocare NVMe moderne și plăci de rețea ultra-rapide), Clonezilla Live 3.3.3 a fost actualizată la un kernel Linux mai recent, bazat pe depozitele Debian Sid (instabilă). Acest lucru garantează că utilitarul va porni fără probleme pe laptopuri și servere de ultimă generație.

🔹 Îmbunătățiri pentru utilitarele de sistem:
S-au integrat actualizări pentru instrumentele interne care stau la baza clonării:

💻🚀 System76 lansează Adder Pro: Laptopul Linux de top cu ecran OLED, procesor Intel de ultimă generație și placă grafică RTX 5070

System76, renumitul producător american de hardware dedicat ecosistemului Linux, a anunțat lansarea noului său laptop ultra-performant, Adder Pro. Conceput special pentru gameri, creatori de conținut și dezvoltatori software, acest model aduce un redesign major față de predecesorul său (Adder WS), fiind mult mai subțire, mai ușor și echipat cu unele dintre cele mai noi tehnologii hardware de pe piață.

Iată detaliile cheie ale noului monstru de productivitate și gaming preinstalat cu Linux:

🔹 Ecran OLED QHD+ spectaculos și rapid:
Punctul de atracție al laptopului este ecranul de 15.3 inchi cu tehnologie OLED și rezoluție 2K (2560×1600). Cu un raport de aspect modern de 16:10 și o rată de reîmprospătare fluidă de 165Hz, ecranul impresionează prin:

Luminozitate de 500 niți și un finisaj lucios (glossy) care oferă un contrast infinit și negru pur.

Acoperire de 100% a gamei de culori DCI-P3 și suport nativ pe 10 biți (peste 1 miliard de culori), ideal pentru editare video profesională și design grafic.

🔹 Putere brută cu procesoare Intel și grafică NVIDIA RTX Seria 50:
Sub carcasă se ascund componente extrem de puternice, pregătite pentru orice task intensiv:

Procesor: Intel Core Ultra 7 356H de generație nouă (arhitectură Panther Lake), echipat cu 16 nuclee (4P + 8E + 4LPE), capabil să atingă frecvențe de până la 4.7 GHz și dotat cu un NPU de 50 TOPS pentru sarcini AI localizate.

Grafică: Utilizatorii pot alege între noile plăci video mobile NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 sau GeForce RTX 5070 (ambele dotate cu 8GB de memorie rapidă GDDR7). Sistemul folosește tehnologia de grafică hibridă pentru a economisi energie atunci când placa dedicată nu este necesară.

🔹 Capacitate masivă de stocare și memorie RAM:
Pentru ca procesul de compilare a codului sau randările 3D să ruleze fără nicio limitare, Adder Pro suportă:

Până la 96GB de memorie RAM dual-channel DDR5 tactată la 5600 MHz.

Stocare duală prin intermediul unui slot principal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4 (de până la 4TB SSD) și al unui al doilea slot M.2 2242 PCIe Gen 4x4 pentru extindere facilă.

🔹 Portabilitate sporită și conectivitate completă:
Față de vechile laptopuri masive de tip workstation, noul Adder Pro este o surpriză extrem de plăcută în ceea ce privește portabilitatea:

Cântărește doar 1.53 kg (3.37 lbs) și are o grosime de sub 2 cm, șasiul fiind construit dintr-un aliaj premium de magneziu și aluminiu.

Vine cu un port USB-C cu suport Power Delivery, un al doilea port USB-C, două porturi USB-A 3.2, un port HDMI și Gigabit Ethernet. Laptopul poate alimenta simultan până la trei monitoare externe 4K.

Pe partea de rețea, integrează standardele ultra-rapide Wi-Fi 7 și Bluetooth 6.

Adder Pro vine preinstalat cu Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS, integrând cel mai nou mediu desktop scris în Rust, COSMIC, sau opțional cu Ubuntu. Prețurile pentru această configurație premium pornesc de la $2.499, laptopul fiind disponibil oficial pentru comenzi începând cu jumătatea lunii iulie.

🎨🚀 Blender 5.2 LTS a fost lansat: Fizică bazată pe noduri și librării online de asset-uri direct în aplicație

Comunitatea de artiști 3D, animatori și dezvoltatori de jocuri are un motiv uriaș de sărbătoare: Blender 5.2, o nouă versiune cu suport pe termen lung (LTS - Long Term Support), a fost lansată oficial. Recunoscut ca fiind unul dintre cele mai puternice și iubite programe open-source din lume, Blender face un salt tehnologic uriaș în această versiune, introducând funcționalități care redefinesc fluxurile de lucru pentru simulări fizice și managementul resurselor.

Fiind o versiune LTS, Blender 5.2 garantează stabilitate maximă și corecții de bug-uri pentru următorii ani, devenind instantaneu versiunea recomandată pentru studiouri și proiecte comerciale de anvergură.

Iată principalele noutăți din Blender 5.2 LTS:

🔹 Fizică revoluționară bazată pe noduri (Node-Based Physics):
Cea mai spectaculoasă adăugire din această versiune este integrarea completă a sistemului de fizică în Geometry Nodes. Artiștii nu mai sunt limitați de vechile sisteme rigide de particule și simulări.

Acum poți crea simulări complexe de fluide, gaze, corpuri rigide (rigid bodies) și dinamici de materiale textile (cloth) folosind un flux de lucru complet procedural bazat pe noduri.

Acest lucru oferă un nivel de control fără precedent, permițând interacțiuni în timp real între elemente geometrice și forțe fizice, totul fiind complet editabil și non-destructiv.

🔹 Librării de Asset-uri Online integrate direct (Online Asset Libraries):
Găsirea și importarea texturilor, materialelor, personajelor sau modelelor 3D a devenit extrem de simplă. Blender 5.2 aduce un browser de asset-uri conectat direct la internet.

Utilizatorii se pot conecta la librării online recunoscute (precum Poly Haven sau alte platforme din comunitate) direct din interfața Blender.

Poți trage cu mouse-ul (drag-and-drop) modele 3D, materiale PBR sau medii de iluminare HDRI direct în scena ta de lucru, fără a mai fi nevoie să le descarci manual din browser și să le imporți ulterior.

🔹 Cycles și Eevee: Randare mult mai rapidă:
Motoarele de randare native au primit optimizări masive sub capotă:

Cycles (Ray-Tracing): Beneficiază de un nou algoritm de eșantionare a luminii și de o utilizare mult mai eficientă a memoriei video (VRAM) pe plăcile grafice moderne. Timpii de randare pentru scenele complexe cu reflexii și refracții multiple au fost reduși considerabil.

Eevee (Real-Time): Motorul de randare în timp real oferă acum o aproximare mult mai realistă a umbrelor și a reflexiilor de tip Screen Space, oferind un aspect extrem de finisat chiar în interiorul viewport-ului de editare.

🔹 Interfață grafică optimizată și performanță crescută pe Linux:
Pe sistemele Linux (în special cele care rulează pe protocolul Wayland), Blender 5.2 LTS aduce un suport mult mai bun pentru ecranele cu rată mare de reîmprospătare (High Refresh Rate) și o scalare DPI impecabilă. De asemenea, au fost îmbunătățite instrumentele de sculptură 3D (Sculpt Mode) și animația 2D prin Grease Pencil, oferind o latență de desenare aproape de zero.

Blender 5.2 LTS își consolidează poziția de lider incontestabil în industria graficii 3D, oferind o platformă incredibil de puternică, versatilă și complet gratuită, capabilă să rivalizeze și să depășească soluțiile comerciale extrem de scumpe de pe piață.

Haiku just gave beta6 a date: mid-August. Yet the June report still surfaces foundational bugs: an I/O scheduler flaw that could corrupt data on modern SSDs, a memory control register misinitialized at EFI boot, and Haiku Inc.'s 2025 financial report still missing. Technical accounting is punctual, financial accounting is a year behind.

Gekauft heißt nicht behalten: Wie Microsoft Office 2019 für Mac per Zertifikat entwertet

Am 13. Juli 2026 ist ein digitales Zertifikat abgelaufen. Keine Sicherheitslücke, keine Schlagzeile, keine Pressekonferenz. Trotzdem hat genau dieses eine Zertifikat gereicht, um sämtlichen Mac-Nutzer*innen mit einer alten, längst bezahlten Office-Lizenz von einem Moment auf den anderen die Arbeitsfähigkeit zu entziehen. Wer noch Office 2019 für den Mac verwendet, kann seine eigenen Dateien seit diesem Tag öffnen, ansehen und ausdrucken. Bearbeiten, speichern, neu anlegen geht nicht mehr. Und Microsoft sagt selbst, dass es dafür keinen Weg zurück gibt.

Ein abgelaufenes Zertifikat reicht, und deine bezahlte Office-2019-Lizenz für den Mac kann ab jetzt nur noch lesen, nicht mehr bearbeiten. Microsoft spricht offen von Lizenzkontrolle, ganz ohne Sicherheitsvorwand. Was du jetzt tun kannst, ohne dich noch fester ans Microsoft-Konto zu binden. Reden wir drüber!

https://www.chrislo.de/blog/2026-07-14-08-55-11-gekauft-heisst-nicht-behalten-wie-microsoft-office-2019-fuer-mac-per-zertifikat-entwertet/

#chrislo #DigitaleUnabhängigkeit #Microsoft #Office2019 #LibreOffice #OnlyOffice #Mac #Microsoft365 #Windows10 #OpenSource #Vereine

Was geschieht gerade?
1. VM-Ware wird durch Broadcom aufgekauft.
2. Broadcom erhöht die Lizenzkosten für VW-Ware immens, tlws. um 1500%.
3. Kunden suchen eine Alternative und steigen auf die Open-Source-Lösung ProxMox um.

Könnte das auch mit anderer kommerzieller Software geschehen, z.B. den Microsoft-Systemen? - Ja!

Sollte man also nicht endlich viel häufiger #OpenSource -Lösungen bevorzugen und damit deren Entwickler unterstützen?
