I recently switched back to Ubuntu 24.04 from Fedora KDE 42. I know it might look like a downgrade, but I enjoy some distro-hopping from time to time. After completing my post-installation setup—some tweaks and software installations—I started editing and drafting new posts. While doing so, I instinctively looked at the top bar for the clipboard icon because I needed to paste a text I had copied before the last one.That’s when it hit me: there’s still no clipboard history by default in Ubuntu. So, how do we enable clipboard history on Ubuntu?

While the latest Intel Core Ultra processors have done away with Hyper Threading (HT), Intel Xeon CPUs continue supporting HT/SMT, including with their latest Xeon 6300 series budget server processors. As the new AMD EPYC 4005 "Grado" processors also support Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) and can be found at the same core/thread count count as the flagship Xeon 6369P processor, it makes for an interesting look at comparing the SMT/HT performance impact and power efficiency. Here are some benchmarks showing the Xeon 6300 against the AMD EPYC 4005 in SMT performance.

From where I sit and based on what I can see, this is "Team Mono" all over again. "Team Wayland" is scoring many own goals this month. Trying to force some distros to default to Wayland (or worse, offer only Wayland as an option, i.e. opposite of freedom) isn't winning, it's making a lot more enemies (alienation and suspicion) and earning even more pushback than ever before.

This minor point release of KDE Plasma 6.4 packs enough new features to make it worth your attention.

The AMD EPYC 4005 "Grado"" processors launched by AMD in May for entry-level servers offer downright amazing value, performance, and power efficiency over the Intel Xeon 6300 / Xeon E-2400 series competition. Intel's top-of-stack Xeon 6300 (Xeon 6369P) / Xeon E processors fail to compete with even the mid-tier EPYC 4005 series processors in either performance, power, or cost effectiveness. Among the many advantages to these budget-friendly EPYC processors is having AVX-512 support with a full 512-bit data path compared to the Xeon 6300 series only having AVX2. For providing more insight into the AVX-512 performance impact with the AMD EPYC 4005 series, here are some enabled/disabled comparison benchmarks and how they are positioned relative to the Xeon 6369P server processor.

Learning from the lessons of the pastinterview Anuj Kapur, CEO of DevOps darling CloudBees, reckons that AI could retest the founding assumptions of DevOps as a whole, but warns against the risk of creating black-boxed code in the pursuit of greater efficiency. He also says that some customers who rushed into AI-generated code for fear of missing out (FOMO) are starting to slow down and be more considered.…

Techrights is very difficult to portray as "right-wing", so some people instead attempted to say something like, "well, there are some right-wing people in the IRC channel or the IRC network" (as if we choose who comes there, we very seldom use a ban-hammer).

In addition to the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) having to decide on whether i686 support should end for Fedora Linux (including multilib), another contentious proposal is on replacing the X.Org X11 Server with the controversial XLibre fork...
