Dell XPS with Ubuntu Option Due Soon

Dell has announced the return of its XPS laptop line at CES 2026, introducing redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch models, the former of which will be available to buy pre-loaded with Ubuntu later this year. The tech company retired the XPS branding in last January as part of a marketing revamp of its product lines. Inspiron, Latitude, and Precision devices became “Dell,” “Dell Pro,” and “Dell Pro Max” respectively, while XPS models were re-badged “Dell Premium”. But you can’t keep a good brand down for long, and the XPS has returned — with some notable design changes in tow. The company […]

Выпуск фильтрующего прокси Privoxy 4.1.0

После года разработки опубликован релиз прокси-сервера Privoxy 4.1.0, предназначенного для создания персональных фильтров web-контента. При помощи Privoxy можно вырезать рекламные вставки, отбрасывать отслеживающие Cookie, удалять всплывающие диалоги, блокировать загрузку стороннего JavaScript-кода и вносить необходимые пользователю произвольные изменения в web-страницы. Privoxy поддерживает установку как на локальные системы отдельных пользователей, так и на серверы для создания централизованной инфраструктуры фильтрации контента в локальной сети. Код проекта написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией GPLv2+. Готовые сборки подготовлены для Linux (deb) и Windows.

Утечка BootROM-ключей Sony Playstation 5

В открытый доступ попал архив, в котором были найдены BootROM-ключи для игровой приставки Sony Playstation 5, применяемые для расшифровки и верификации начального загрузчика. При помощи данных ключей можно сформировать собственный загрузчик, успешно проходящий верификацию, и применить его для запуска собственного варианта прошивки. Содержимое BootROM не может быть изменено программно или через обновление прошивки, поэтому уязвимость рассматривается как аппаратная проблема, которая останется во всех уже выпущенных приставках. Устранение проблемы возможно только через выпуск новых APU с новыми BootROM-ключами. Ранее похожие проблемы с ключами уже возникали приставках Nintendo Switch и Sony Playstation 3.

GCLI 2.10.0

31 декабря, после почти трёх месяцев разработки, состоялся выпуск 2.10.0 консольной утилиты GCLI, предназначенной для взаимодействия с API нескольких популярных сервисов хостинга Git-проектов, и позволяет создавать, просматривать и взаимодействовать с проблемами, запросами на слияние, метками и комментариями к ним, проверять состояние CI и конвейеров, и многое другое.

📰 My Raspberry Pi is at its best when it does exactly one thing

I lost track of how many times Jellyfin buffered while I tried to turn on my smart lights. How many times have I noticed the LED blinking frantically on my Raspberry Pi’s case. How many times SSH would stop responding, and I had to walk over to perform a hard reset. And I thought it was normal.

Bazaar (Desktop Flathub App) Gets Considered Updates

If you use Flathub on Ubuntu you likely already use (or at least know of) Bazaar, a GTK4/libadwaita frontend that makes it trivial to search, manage and update Flatpak apps from this popular repo. Bazaar gets updated frequently (I’ve covered some updates in my monthly Linux App Release Roundup series). In the past few weeks the app has been update with further improvements, features and design tweaks. Chief among them, a new app icon. I know everyone cares about icons as much as I do, but a well designed icon with a clear metaphor (and, ideally, some colour to keep […]
