📰 This open-source camera turns your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W into an 80s-styled delight

Back in March, we covered an open-source camera called the Saturnix. Back then, it was a work-in-progress, but it was still cool enough to check out. The creator said they'd get something out as soon as they could, but much like everything else in life, it took more time than expected.

How to change Night Light’s colour temperature during the day on Ubuntu

Night Light Scheduler is a new GNOME Shell extension that lets you control how warm your screen is throughout different parts of the evening (or day). GNOME’s built-in Night Light feature has a customisable schedule, and it lets you set a colour temperature that’s very orange, or less orange to filter out blue light. But that temperature holds the entire time Night Light is switched on. It eases in and out at each end but never changes in between. For most use cases, the default behaviour is fine; set and forget to a schedule. But if you wish you could […]

Automating the identification of obsolete SharePoint Online sites with PowerShell

Identifying obsolete SharePoint Online sites is a common administrative challenge that requires more than just checking the last modified date. The standard LastModifiedDateTime property is often unreliable because background system processes frequently update it without any actual user interaction. To gain an accurate view of site activity, administrators should instead combine site information from the SharePoint Online management module with usage data from the Microsoft Graph API.

Microsoft Teams screen sharing bug impacts macOS users in government clouds

Microsoft has identified a persistent bug in Teams for macOS that causes screen-sharing sessions to freeze, fail, or display as a blank black screen.

Why local AI is the future of sovereign and specialized intelligence

The local AI landscape has reached a critical inflection point where high-performance models and sophisticated harnesses now allow frontier-level intelligence to run on consumer and workstation hardware. This shift is driven by the need for data sovereignty, cost predictability for "always-on" agents, and the ability to maintain performance without internet dependency. As open-source models close the gap with proprietary cloud offerings, the focus is shifting toward specialized, in-domain learners that outperform generalized models in specific professional contexts.

Первый стабильный выпуск IncidentRelay, системы для организации дежурств и маршрутизации оповещений

После пяти месяцев разработки опубликован выпуск проекта IncidentRelay 1.1, развивающего открытую систему для организации дежурств, маршрутизации оповещений и сопровождения инцидентов, запускаемую на собственном сервере (self-hosted). IncidentRelay 1.1 отмечен как первый стабильный выпуск (ветка 1.0 имела статус бета-версии). Проект ориентирован на SRE, DevOps и инфраструктурные команды, которым требуется локально разворачиваемая альтернатива SaaS-сервисам для управления дежурством (on-call management), применения политик эскалации и реагирования на инциденты. Код проекта написан на Python и распространяется под лицензией MIT.
