The Great Reverse Migration


AS SOON AS THEY TAKE OFF from the Panamanian coast, there is a sigh of relief. Surrounded by 30 other Venezuelan migrants, packed inside an overloaded midsize speedboat, Edinson holds on tightly to the edge. The 37-year-old is tall and slender and has a presence that stands out as he towers over everyone. Over the past couple of weeks, he’s become the de facto captain of a group of migrants making their way back to Venezuela.

At this point in their long journey, they sit in silence under blue skies and a blazing morning sun. The end is in sight. Sporting a black Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap and a blue T-shirt, Edinson stares out to the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. He knows these waters can be deadly. A couple of months ago, a boat carrying 19 migrants capsized not too far from here, but Edinson tells himself he has survived worse.


Horrific on the humanitarian front, but excellent writing.

quasi un “vecchio posseduto sclera” momento in questa sera altrimenti silente


Stavo quasi in procinto, forse, di andare a dormire… quando a un certo punto, stando in bagno, da giù per strada sento scatenarsi la più assoluta pazzia; e stavolta non in senso figurato. Infatti, dal nulla si è iniziato a sentire questo tizio — che credo sia uno dei pazzi della città, per l’appunto, anche se non lo riconosco di faccia e non so come si chiami (ho sentito un “Carmine”, magari era lui? non che cambi molto) — che ha iniziato a tirare bestemmie e porconi, non è ben chiaro perché. 😶

Anche se non ho idea di cosa ci sia dietro, la situazione è certamente molto divertente, anche perché non è la prima volta che sento questo preciso tizio. Giuro di averlo sentito almeno un’altra volta in passato, tanti mesi fa, se non addirittura più di un anno fa, e questo suo tono è inimitabile… Tira i jastemoni, e lo fa con questa enfasi assurda, che addirittura gli richiede diversi secondi di cooldown. Però non gli basta una sola volta, e quindi ripete la stessa identica frase almeno altre 3 o 4 volte, per poi fermarsi… ma solo prima di passare poi ad una diversa espressione a dir poco colorita. 😻

Per fortuna, anche se ho perso forse i primi 20 secondi di “mannaggia a Dio veramente” a causa del lag dello Xiaomi di merda, lo #sclero è durato abbastanza da permettermi di registrarlo al volo… e, adesso che è arrivata una volante della Polizia (chiamata da qualcuno) e lui ci stava parlando, e si è apparentemente calmato del tutto, riascoltare l’audio fa specialmente pisciare dal ridere. Mannaggia a questo, #mannaggia quello… mannaggia alla quiete pubblica violata all’una di notte, direi io! Prima di questo lieto fine, per un paio di minuti c’è stata pure una signora che gli ha urlato contro ma, ripeto, non ho capito la lore. 😏

Ma allora, ecco che concedo a tutti di vivere questo misticismo, allegando qui la registrazione audio del casino; dopo aver opportunamente cancellato le parti di solo rumore, cosa che lo ha fatto pure scendere da 3 minuti e 46 ad appena 1 minuto e 37 (per quanto ho limitato il taglio dei momenti morti silenziosi, che sono fondamentali all’atmosfera), ed aver amplificato un bel po’ tutto (perché, per quanto il microfono del telefono sia capace di catturare suoni lontani, lui stesso non ci crede abbastanza). 💣

Comunque sia, wow. Il tutto è molto magico, e mi sono sentita un po’ Zeb89 che registra gli atti di “vecchia posseduta sclera” in tale momento, perché è così assurdo… anche se, in questo caso, gli scleri finalmente da me archiviati sono solo audio; sia perché voglio evitare di doxxarmi ora che sono sul balcone, e sia perché prima dal bagno non si vedeva niente comunque. Ah, a proposito… questo è in assoluto il primo file audio che carico in un post, da quando ho il sito del fritto misto di octospacc! Insomma, poteva essere qualunque audio, e invece abbiamo avuto, in ordine, insulti a Dio, a “tutti i santi”, alla Maronn’ e Pumpej, e degli “oh” che sembrano rigurgiti. Quindi, buonanotte così!!! 🥰

Vivaldi browser takes a stand: keep browsing human


Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.



Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human

Just like society, the web moves forward when people think, compare, and discover for themselves. Vivaldi believes the act of browsing is an active one. It is about seeking, questioning, and making up your own mind.

Across the industry, artificial assistants are being embedded directly into browsers, and pitched as a quicker path to answers. Google is bringing Gemini into Chrome to summarize pages and, in future, work across tabs and navigate sites on a user’s behalf. Microsoft is promoting Edge as an AI browser, including new modes that scan what is on screen and anticipate actions.

These moves are reshaping the address bar into an assistant prompt, turning the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.

This shift has major consequences for the web as we know it. Independent research shows users are less likely to click through to original sources when an AI summary is present, which means fewer visits for publishers, creators, and communities that keep the web vibrant. A recent study by PewResearch found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links.

The stakes are high. New AI-native browsers and agent platforms are arriving, while regulators debate remedies that could reshape how people reach information online. The next phase of the browser wars is not about tab speed, it is about who intermediates knowledge, who benefits from attention, who controls the pathway to information, and who gets to monetize you.

Today, as other browsers race to build AI that controls how you experience the web, we are making a clear promise:

We’re taking a stand, choosing humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting. Our curiosity loses oxygen and the diversity of the web dies.

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Vivaldi


The field of machine learning in general remains an exciting one and may lead to features that are actually useful.

But right now, there is enough misinformation going around to risk adding more to the pile. We will not use an LLM to add a chatbot, a summarization solution or a suggestion engine to fill up forms for you, until more rigorous ways to do those things are available.

Vivaldi is the haven for people who still want to explore. We will continue building a browser for curious minds, power users, researchers, and anyone who values autonomy. If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.

We will stay true to our identity, giving users control and enabling people to use the browser in combination with whatever tools they want to use. Our focus is on building a powerful personal and private browser for you to explore the web on your own terms. We will not turn exploration into passive consumption.

We’re fighting for a better web.

On Vivaldi, I only use the built in filtering. Is that not good enough? I’m able to block everything I was using ublock origin for. I also block ads at the DNS level.
in reply to Joker

It can block some ads/trackers, but it's very limited in what it can do. It also lacks all other privacy-preserving features that uBlock Origin offers.

Last time I used Vivaldi (early 2025), with the same blocklists setup, it only blocked ~40% of what uBlock Origin did.

Best way to get videos to nas from pc


Hey guys! So I have a simple dilemma. The computer i use for video/movies is on a vpn. Sometimes I want to move those videos to my nas.

Now I am just using the mulvad program on the local pc (linux). I dont have it installed on my router (and im not sure if I will yet, since with slowdowns and some sites and applications not working on a VPN, I dont really need it network wide at this point)

But my problem is, my nas isn't accessible from the pc, unless I shut off the VPN, which I dont want to do when in the middle of a big download. Also, it would be nice sometimes to download right to my nas so I dont need to move files.

Is there a somewhat easy solution? Im decently savvy but networking still confuses me sometimes.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer

I think tailscale would fit your use case perfectly.

You can install tailscale on your computer and your NAS. This way, there is a tunnel between your computer and your NAS. In practice you will have a separate IP address for your NAS that you can use from your computer.

It also means that you will have secure access to your NAS from wherever in the world as long as you have internet access.

Then, Mullvad and tailscale are integrated together. It means that from tailscale you get the Mullvad add-on that allows you to use Mullvad as exit-point. Meaning that all your traffic that is not in your tailscale network will go through Mullvad (so in your case everything except your NAS)

It's been two years that I am using that and it's working great for me.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer

A better option, use a container that connects whatever torrent program to the VPN. Only that will be on the PN, and depending how it's setup it will only connect to the VPN, making it unable to leak your IP address if the connection fails. You can just sftp into the NAS that way and is by far the easiest solution.
