Bytedance Proposes "Parker" For Linux: Multiple Kernels Running Simultaneously
Bytedance Proposes "Parker" For Linux: Multiple Kernels Running Simultaneously
It was just a few days ago that a multi-kernel architecture was proposed for the Linux kernelwww.phoronix.com
This seems to be a pretty niche use case brought about by changes in the available hardware for servers. Likely they are having situations where their servers have copious amounts of RAM, and CPU cores that the task it is handling don't need all of, or perhaps isn't even able to make use of due to software constraints. So this is a way for them to run different tasks on the same hardware without having to worry about virtualization. Effectively turning a bare metal server into 2 bare metal servers. They mention in their statement that, "The primary use case in mind for parker is on the machines with high core counts, where scalability concerns may arise."
Swapping GPU
Hi, as you can from see from my previous posts I installed Linux in all my machines. Now I have a PC with an I5 6500 (with Mint on it) and I'm upgrading the GPU. So, do I just open it put the new one and connect the cables? Or do I have to do some thing first? Thank you for all your help.

It kind of is. The point of the analogy is to make the big numbers easier to grasp. If it's just wrong, then are the other numbers even close?
what's better on debian 13.1 xfce for Japanese, Chinese and Korean input? fcitx or ibus?
I want to see the actual characters, hiragana, katakana... instead of squares and actually write traditional Chinese and Korean.
And easily change the input language / method
If you're seeing squares instead of characters, it sounds more like you lack the proper fonts. Installing something along the lines of noto-fonts-cjk should resolve that.
My personal choice between ibus and Fcitx5 would be Fcitx5. Ibus feels more integrated with GNOME environment, whereas Fcitx5 feels less so. Fcitx5 also has more features too, such as having a keybind that changes your language profile. This is what I do so that AltGr switches between English and Japanese, or English and Korean. Either way, both should achieve the same basic goal.
Don't forget to set a bunch of environment variables too.

I've never used xfce, I used Gnome previously and currently KDE Plasma, and I liked fcitx for both. However I had a bug with Anki where it wasn't able to change language inputs with fcitx, so I had to switch to iBus. Both work fine, although I liked that Fcitx showed the conversion preview without having to hit tab, while iBus does.
The squares is probably a font issue, this article might help. You can easily switch input for both apps and set up your own shortcut combo.

Old laptop suddenly won't recognize Linux boot drive
I'm in a really weird situation, yesterday I installed Linux (Fedora Kinoite) on my mothers laptop (An old Asus F550C) and it worked perfectly fine. Great! Or so I thought.
We needed a few files from Windows 10, so I put that drive in, put the files on a USB stick, put the Linux drive back in and... Nothing? It recognizes the drive, but not the Linux boot option.
I put the drive in my pc and it works fine, the boot drive is also still detected in the laptop just fine.
What the hell could it be??
- The laptop is fine (Windows drive works perfectly)
- The drive is recognized in bios (But not the boot option)
- The drive works fine in my desktop and can boot to Fedora
- The laptop can boot to the USB drive I used to create the install
- Yesterday it worked just fine
- I went through the bios, but can't find any settings related to this (Secure boot did not fix it)
Update: the issue is solved! Windows somehow wiped the efiboot entry.
I mounted the drive from a live usb and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting, the system works again!

need a simple sketching software for linux desktop (with real world dimensions)
Is there any simple vector drawing application that can let me make rough sketches with arbitrary units?
For example, I want to be able to draw a rectangle that is exactly 2'6 x 12".
If I scale it by 50% it should be 15" x 6". I want to be able to measure distances. I don't want to keep track of a scale/conversion/ratio in my head, that's a perfect job for computer.
In the old Sketchup software (RIP) you could type the measurements in while drawing or manipulating objects. It was extremely fast and intuitive. I don't need 3d modelling; it was just a great UI.
All I can find is CAD and it is way overkill. Not gonna design a cotton gin or a circuit board. I just want to make a simple floor plan to see if the furniture would fit the way I want to arrange it. Or estimate material requirements for projects.
Desired features: Layers, customizable/smart keyboard shortcuts, colors, rectangle circle lines, transform/scale/skew/rotate, group/lock objects, rulers grids guide snapping.
anything?
it is not a vector drawing app. it's a raster editor.

sshPilot is now on Flathub
I'm excited to let you know that sshPilot is now available on Flathub:
flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.…
It’s an intuitive, fast SSH connection manager with features like terminal tabs, a built-in SFTP file manager, port forwarding, key transfer (ssh-copy-id) and more and is optimized for fast navigation with keyboard.
In addition to the dual-pane file manager, the latest release adds a macOS bundle, a keyboard shortcuts customizer and support for grouping servers.
Technical notes:
The app doesn't use any custom configuration, it loads and saves standard ssh/config files.
It has an optional Isolated (sandboxed) mode which is enabled by default in the Flatpak. With this mode the app keeps its own sshconfig separate, which might be useful if you want to keep things isolated from your regular ~/.ssh/config.
The app is still under heavy development and more features and enhancements are planned.
How to get it?
Downloads for linux and macOS are available from the website or project page on GitHub.
The non-Flatpak versions (RPM, DEB and Arch packages) have extra features including:
- Custom terminal (use your favorite terminal: Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, etc are all supported)
- File management with Nautilus/Dolphin etc. using GVFS/GIO (you can still enable and use the built-in file manager)
Homepage: sshpilot.app/
I'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts.
