Orion’s Early Beta Has Launched on Linux via Flatpak
I’ll admit that I tried the original Orion Browser a very long time ago when I read about it somewhere (I forget where exactly) on macOS back when it was still called OS X. In short, Orion Browser is supposed to be a WebKit-based browser from Kagi, a search engine, that has a lot of…

Dumping Spotify and Paid Music Streaming For My Offline Music Collection
I hinted at the possibility a good while back, but I’ve been rethinking how I enjoy my music over the past few months, and that’s also despite how I said this a good while back now. Why go through all this trouble [with TIDAL, Spotify, and others] when you could just host the music yourself…

The Black Core 2 Duo MacBook is Still Perfectly Usable
I know when I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole. I’m primarily a Linux user first and foremost; I have a desktop running Arch, a secondary workstation running openSUSE, and a server running Ubuntu. Despite that, and despite the fact that I’ve been using macOS on an M1 at work (because it’s either that or being…

While I love Linux and prefer to use it, I haven’t used my openSUSE workstation in the past few months. My reliable ThinkPad has been collecting…

I Won’t Let Internet Time Be Forgotten
I’ll be the first to admit it: I’ve never been a big fan of the metric system. Growing up the way I did, I got used to indicating the weather in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, I always liked seeing my football teams gain yards to score a first down instead of running meters to kick…

Using AI To Revive Your Old Wallpapers
I’ve been rather busy as of late with NaNoWriMo, and I’m happy to report I’ve been writing daily consistently. I’ve left my other growth-related goals on hold since October, but I feel it’s well worth the trouble, as I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the novel I’ve been drafting. Still, I wanted to…

Run This, Not That! Recommended Alternatives to Popular Software
I was browsing AlternativeTo recently, a site I like to check every so often. The cool thing about the site, as the name implies, is how it’s designed to look up information on software and apps along with user-curated alternatives. There are also lists edited and created by the community for given subjects or niches…
