- Linux 5.0 is out! (Phoronix)
The bug that led to a week's delay turned out not the be a significant problem, but the extra week allowed things to settle down a bit so all is well.
- Did a Singapore retailer just leak all the Ryzen 3000 configurations and pricing? (Reddit)
Probably not. Looks like they copied and pasted the previous unconfirmed leaks right into their price list.
- XKCDify your Matplotlib charts.
This is actually kind of cool. You can see how it makes information more accessible by being less perfect.
- An 8-port 10GbE router/switch for $270? (Serve the Home)
Well, maybe. It's MicroTik, which has a less than stellar security record. And it's underpowered for L3 / routing functions. But switching works fine, and it's passively cooled. (And it's A$350 locally, which is pretty good.)
But it's SFP+ rather than 10Gbase-T. They don't seem to have any 10Gbase-T models at all.
- In a timely reminder that everyone's a goddamn idiot, it looks like Chinese surveillance teams left their collected data in a publicly-exposed MongoDB database with no password. (Bleeping Computer)
