OBS 28 Beta
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/28.0.0-beta1
- RIP 32-bit.
- Switched rendering on Linux from GLX to EGL, which should result in a better experience.
- This means it will not remember your sources.
- Added support for the H264 Format in the Linux V4L2.
- Big move to QT6.
- Websockets 5.0 comes built in.
- Everything is on fire.
- I’ve posted issues with bitfocus & the captions people.
- You can build it on Debian 11 using QT6 from backports.
- Added the ability to reset the whole UI using the View menu -> Reset UI option.
- This will come in handy, especially after heavy customizing the interface for specific projects.
- Added support for custom FFmpeg options in media sources.
Linux Kernel 5.19

-
- Linux Kernel 5.19 has been released, and the biggest additions and changes to this Linux kernel focus on networking, both wired and wireless, and more CPU support.
- Also, something unique about this release; Linus Torvalds managed the Linux Kernel 5.19 release on an M2-powered Apple laptop, thanks to Asahi Linux!
- Updates include:
- BIG TCP support was added which allows bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes for IPv6 traffic and achieves network speeds up to 400GBit/s.
- This will give a significant boost for high-performance networking and cloud-based data centers, so any system or service that sees massive networking traffic should greatly benefit from the addition of BIG TCP.
- Support for Realtek 8852ce chipset, MediaTek T700 modems and Renesas RZ/V2M.
- Initial support for the LoongArch CPUs based on MIPS architecture.
- And as we talked about in June with the release of the Linux Kernel 5.19 Release Candidate 1, the 5.19 Linux kernel comes with support for multiple Arm platforms.
- Torvalds states:
- BIG TCP support was added which allows bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes for IPv6 traffic and achieves network speeds up to 400GBit/s.
- “It’s something I’ve been waiting for for a _loong_ time time, and it’s finally reality, thanks to the Asahi team. We’ve had Arm64 hardware around running Linux for a long time, but none of it has really been usable as a development platform until now.”
Open-sourced MoonRays
- DreamWorks Animation (aka DWA) is a huge advocate of open source.
- They are currently preparing the packages for public release, and MoonRay will be available for download from Github soon.
- Blender integration should work using Hydra.
- I am looking forward to playing with MoonRay, especially since I have been using Pixar’s RenderMan for many years now.
Slice of Pi

- Good luck finding a CM4.
- I am curious what the speeds are.
- This is certainly a better option for a router cost wise.
- At $54.90 you can have 2-4 routers for the cost of a good name brand one on the market, like a Linksys,TP-Link or Netgear.
