Orion Browser


Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.

It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.



I'm so confused with this random audio issue


Speakers -> Worked via Line OUT for months

Take PC apart and change PSU, assemble PC back.

Speakers - Line OUT detected but can't test Left/Right audio channels, options missing. No AUDIO from speakers unless I select them as default in Pavucontrol or manually assign outputs via Helvum.

Fedora 43 GNOME

How do I get my GNOME audio settings to work again?

This is so random and funny at the same time... yet frustrating because it makes no god damn sense :D

I'm currently learning about it, so I can't offer much expertise, but if all else fails, look into Wireplumber; it sounds like it's failing to make the proper node connections automatically.
in reply to WereCat

Hmmm. Random guess: does your machine have another audio output, possibly via HDMI, that you're not using? This could be ALSA selecting the wrong device as a default, which would then propagate up through the stack.

They could save $12.4B and dust off Canada's anti-monopoly laws which haven't been in use in 30 years. Break up Roblaws.

We're waiting to see if a corporate lapdog wins NDP leadership in March before I say anything about who could be willing to try that lol.
in reply to slothrop

Any chance that > $12.4B is directly taxed or siphoned from the big grocery chains?


Help managing access to multiple VPN services (Tailscale, Wireguard, Twingate)


cross-posted from: discuss.online/post/34942012

I find everyone using different services, so unsure how to best manage (and balance) concurrent access in Ubuntu/Debian to:
- Local network services
- Tailscale services from userA
- Tailscale services from userB
- Wireguard (OpenVPN also option) from userC
- Twingate from userD

Each user is wanting to share different services via VPN, and pressuring any to change their production setups to a different style of VPN is not going to happen.
- Management via software
- Possibly up a routing device along the lines of OpenWrt or OpnSense.
- Could even distribute such devices between these friends.

Thanks for all thoughts!

What do you mean? Is it working now? To my understanding this stuff either works or it doesn’t, what is going wrong for you? What are some things you’d like to make more seamless?
in reply to kiol

Are you running your services directly on the host or via docker? All the VPN services listed provide docker images which I think should allow you to run multiple instances without them interfering with each other, although I've only played around with Tailscale myself. The setup would be slightly different depending on if your services are containers or not

Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.


They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.



Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft


Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.


Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

Wiarton Willie predicts early spring, but Punxsutawney Phil disagrees


Wiarton Willie, along with most of his Canadian counterparts, has predicted an early spring after he did not see his shadow on Monday morning on Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day is a long-held tradition of watching animals coming out of hibernation to predict whether there'll be an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Every Feb. 2, groundhogs and even a crustacean emerge from their shelters to see if they see their shadows.

Where I live 6 more weeks of winter is an early spring.

Phil is warning of an ICE storm, and is hiding in its hole with a whistle ready.


Danish Students Face Legal Action and Fines Over Textbook Piracy


After "awareness" campaigns that failed to move the needle for years, Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy. The Rights Alliance confirmed it will begin filing civil lawsuits against individual students who are caught sharing even a single digital textbook. The anti-piracy group prefers not to mention the targeted platforms but says it uses undercover monitoring of private groups to gather evidence.

Weird, I wasn't aware that Spotify OWNED this music. I'm fairly certain they they only license it.


Den främsta anledningen är att Wien i princip inte ökat sin befolkning på 100 år. 1910 hade Wien en befolkning på drygt 2 miljoner invånare och 2025 har Wien en befolkning på drygt 2 miljoner invånare. Wien har inte varit utsatta för nåt tryck när det gäller bostadsmarknaden utan där alltid funnits ett överskott på bostäder.

‘We Don’t Know the Word Surrender’: Cubans Respond to New U.S. Threats


Limia Díaz is a historian, writer, member of the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba and director of the Cuban TV program MARCAS.

Feb. 2, 2026

The U.S. military leaders know that Cuba is not Venezuela, that they wouldn’t have the easy victory of January 3rd. We do not know the word surrender, and that is why Trump has set out to recreate the shameful chapter of Weyler’s Reconcentration, ordered by that Spanish general to starve our people into submission, given his inability to defeat the Mambí Army on the battlefield. They cannot forgive us for being considered a moral compass despite all the difficulties, and the spirit of revenge leads them to act with genocidal cruelty. What will humanity do: succumb to fascism or respond with courage and integrity? “Whoever stands with Cuba today, stands for all time.”
