FUSE Passthrough Support May Land For Linux 6.9 To Help Boost I/O Performance — The FUSE passthrough mode patches were recently queued up into FUSE.git's for-next branch. With the patches now in the "for-next" branch ahead of the Linux 6.9 merge window in March, the code will hopefully be merged for this next kernel cycle barring any last minute issues.

Google halts Gemini image generation to fix White balance — Google has suspended availability of text-to-image capabilities in its recently released Gemini multimodal foundational AI model, after it failed to accurately represent White Europeans and Americans in specific historical contexts.
Stable Diffusion 3 — The Stable Diffusion 3 suite of models currently ranges from 800M to 8B parameters. This approach aims to align with our core values and democratize access, providing users with a variety of options for scalability and quality to best meet their creative needs.

Google goes “open AI” with Gemma, a free, open-weights chatbot family — Developed by Google DeepMind and other Google AI teams, Gemma pulls from techniques learned during the development of Gemini, which is the family name for Google's most capable (public-facing) commercial LLMs, including the ones that power its Gemini AI assistant. Google says the name comes from the Latin gemma, which means "precious stone."
ollama release v0.1.27 adds Gemma
gemma.cpp — Lightweight, standalone C++ inference engine for Google's Gemma models.
InvokeAI — InvokeAI is an implementation of Stable Diffusion, the open source text-to-image and image-to-image generator. It provides a streamlined process with various new features and options to aid the image generation process.
Nixified AI — The goal of nixified.ai is to simplify and make available a large repository of AI executable code that would otherwise be impractical to run yourself, due to package management and complexity issues.

The Holy Grail Nextcloud setup made easy by NixOS · Carlos Vaz — Hosting Nextcloud has become easier over time, thanks to its docker-compose example setups and to the Snap for use mostly on Ubuntu systems. However, having a faster and more optimized setup can take some effort on these platforms. Thankfully, on NixOS it’s not hard at all, as I’ll show you.

Administrator Bill Nelson announces the end of Ingenuity Mars Helicopter - YouTube — NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has announced that the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has come to an end. The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history by achieving the first powered, controlled flight on another planet on April 19, 2021. Despite initial plans for up to five flights, the helicopter has exceeded expectations and executed an impressive 72 flights on the Red Planet. NASA pays tribute to its accomplishments, which have far exceeded what was thought possible and have paved the way for future flights in our solar system.

Boltz — Privacy First, Non-Custodial Bitcoin Exchange.
bcachefs — bcachefs is an advanced new filesystem for Linux, with an emphasis on reliability and robustness and the complete set of features one would expect from a modern filesystem.
bcachefs Erasure coding — Bcachefs takes advantage of the fact that it is already a copy-on-write filesystem. If we're designing our filesystem to avoid update-in-place, why would we do update-in-place in our RAID implementation?
bcachefs Caching — bcachefs can be configured for writethrough, writeback, and writearound caching, as well as other more specialized setups.
bachefs Compression — Unlike other filesystems that typically do compression at the block level, bcachefs does compression at the extent level - variable size chunks, up to (by default) 128k.
bcachefs Encryption — bcachefs uses AEAD style encryption (ChaCha20/Poly1305), where each encrypted block is authenticated with a MAC, with a chain of trust up to root (the superblock), and every encrypted block has a unique nonce.
bcachefs Snapshots — bcachefs provides Btrfs style writeable snapshots, at subvolume granularity.
(2015) [ANNOUNCE] bcachefs - a general purpose COW filesystem — It's taken a long time to get to this point - longer than I would have guessed if you'd asked me back when we first started talking about it - but I'm pretty damn proud of where it's at now.

LMDE is also one of our development targets, as such it guarantees the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu.
