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
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 userDEach 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!

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?
Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
Microsoft is increasingly adopting Claude Code, despite selling its own GitHub Copilot AI tool. Microsoft’s developers are now testing out both to compare them.Tom Warren (The Verge)

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.
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.

Kinda sad the flagship instance is the biggest turnoff to wider adoption. Also, I gotta try / switch to Piefed.

‘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.”
