Do you waddle the waddle?
In Kyrgyzstan, where more than 90% of the country is covered by mountains, scientists are working in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. At altitudes above 3,000 meters, temperatures can drop as low as -48°C.
The module is built around the ESP32-S3-PICO-1-N8R8 system-in-package, featuring a dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor running at up to 240 MHz. It includes 8 MB of flash and 8 MB of PSRAM, along with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support.
Both models use the LGA1851 socket and support Intel Core Ultra 200 series processors (Arrow Lake-S) with up to 65 W TDP. Each system supports up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600 memory across two SO-DIMM slots and includes integrated Intel Xe graphics with multi-display support.
The system is built around a microcontroller operating at up to 70 MHz and includes 1 MB of RAM. Programs are stored in internal flash memory, with the architecture supporting configurable hardware elements through a hardware overlay mechanism that defines CPU behavior, timers, and peripheral routing.
The system is part of the PiDP series of historical replicas, which includes earlier PDP-8, PDP-10, and PDP-11 recreations. Unlike previous models, the PiDP-1 places more emphasis on interactive graphics, early video games, and hands-on programming.
Coming four months after Agama 18, the Agama 19 installer introduces the ability to install some SUSE Linux distributions in so-called installation modes, such as Standard or Immutable, adds a new updateNvram boot loader setting to update the persistent RAM (NVRAM), and the ability to use SSH public keys to authenticate the root user.
Firefox 149 introduces the long-anticipated native Split View feature, allowing users to view two web pages side-by-side in one tab. The Split View feature can be enabled by right-clicking on a tab, and you can also add a split view to a new group.

GStreamer 1.30 promises support for parsing HDR10+ metadata from H.265 and AV1 bitstreams, Opus audio support for F32 and S24_32 samples and 96kHz sample rate, rtspsrc2 authentication support, a new VA-API overlay compositor, and Bayer support for the QuickTime demuxer.
Based on the latest and greatest Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series, antiX 26 is powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.6 LTS kernel series and features the IceWM (default), Fluxbox, JWM, and herbstluftwm window managers, and the runit (default), SysVinit, dinit, s6-rc, and s6-66 init systems.
Last night: Maintenance Reminder
It's back to normal for us. After "emergency maintenance on connectivity between our Dublin and Telehouse North London data centre" we no longer expect risk of timeouts/downtime.
Yesterday our server served over 5 million Web requests. This past week is also served over 400,000 Gemini requests. No downtimes throughout. █
