I already use Docker, but in rootless mode, which works kind of weird. I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed, but I like to go by example and implement all the best practices and zero trust in my own devices, since I’m studying cybersecurity:)

I’ve been reading about them, thank you! I’ll test them in a VM soon, I find it weird to use systemd, but I guess if it works… I hope I get a new PC this month so I can transition distros and storage easily.

Same for me, all the support I had for Windows was “reinstall” or “have you checked the latest version of ‘x’ driver?”. Now I can actually solve my problems or maybe someone knows how to, there’s a big community with real access to debugging tools that may be able to help.

I won’t deny that some people are annoying and don’t help at all, but you can always move to the next community or just change distros. I distrohopped using VMs because I couldn’t risk losing work in my laptop and then chose one (openSUSE Tumbleweed) which has its own problems, but I now can understand why something happens (or not).

Also, some problems that I’ve encountered are only problems for me, some people would not even care about them, but I do and that gave me the tools to help other people when they need it (mostly friends from my career trying Linux).

Will do, thanks!. Have you used something like Docker Compose? I didn’t have a lot of time before, but I’m still researching and I don’t get what is the “standardized” way of dealing with composed containers

Hey, may I ask how has it been MicroOS for you? I’m interested in using it for my small server and self-hosting, but I mostly use containers with Docker and I’ve seen that MicroOS comes with Podman by default.

It works in Spanish, in English it throws an error before answering about Tiananmen as you show 🤫

I didn’t know about that, but I’m not using Firefox in flatpak, but as native (RPM). I just discovered it probably works faster because of unloading tabs, but I don’t have the time to check more about its memory usage compared to Firefox.

Thanks for the info:)

I ended up liking it a lot. I don’t know why or how, but it (as Flatpak) uses less RAM and CPU than native (RPM) Firefox, so I’ve been enjoying testing it as daily driver for basic navigation. I still use Firefox as my main browser, but Zen works fine, has good proposals and is still improving and hearing the community. Well done and well deserved

It was. Fossify is now a suite, forked from the “Simple Mobile Tools” apps suite, after it was sold to ZipoApps. You can check the discussion thread here:

Couldn’t get the geolocation work for weeks in openSUSE. I, supposedly, read the manual and checked everywhere and even asked in the opensuse forum, since the timing was perfect with Mozilla shutting down MLS, and it probably was a reason, but also any other alternative didn’t work. Some days ago I decided to RTFM of geoclue again, only to find out that I could just “hardcode” my location in an /etc/geolocation file >:(

I’ve been using rootless Docker because it’s a good practice, but I’ve been having weird permissions issues that apparently no one else has or, at least, not enough people use rootless to know lol. I have some theories about how to solve it, but it would require a good amount of time. I’m also restructuring my directories so it’s better organized with Syncthing and I have to resolve those permission issues to solve the backup problems I have (mostly DB files that I don’t have permission to copy).

Nothing for Redis since it’s optional and I had problems running SearXNG with it. For Caddy, I forgot to mention that I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager as my reverse proxy for HTTPS hehe

For local use only I use Docker Rootless hosting:

• SearXNG (with some modifications, like not using Redis nor Caddy)
• FreshRSS
• Jellyfin (for my small collection of series and movies)
• Gotify
• Stirling-PDF
• PiHole (more as an experiment, rather than looking for a complete DNS solution since I can’t change my router’s DNS)
• Paperless-NGX (I don’t use it much, it’s more as an experiment)
• Homer
• DokuWiki

I’ve found problems using Docker Rootless and Tumbleweed as my server’s OS, since some configurations are different and some containers don’t even work, but I’ve also learned a lot :)

Specify that, “free” means two things in English, otherwise use “libre”, which means freedom in Spanish and it’s sometimes used to refer to free or libre software.

With KDE Plasma it lets me update from its store, even though it’s kind of annoying because I like to do it from the CLI and it blocks Zypper when checking for available updates.

Sadly true. When I installed texlive-base it tried to install like 300 recommended packages, I almost accepted D:

I’d still recommend it, I don’t know if you can change the default for recommended packages because aside from that, I actually love it.

Any image/video editor in Android. I’ve been trying Image Toolbox, but sometimes it doesn’t work or crashes :(

You know anyone is capable of telling the same thing, but about proprietary code or about that stance you have? Not everyone has to follow the FSF steps nor LInux-Libre, they’re there for people who want them and follows their principles. They do what they think is right and invest in that, you don’t so you don’t invest in that. I think it’s great for them to work in projects like GNU Health, Linux-Libre or even Hurd (if it’s even active) so we can see more free software development in the future and free software culture in things like health devices (which may or may not be inside your body). I agree with you about microcode, though, but I think AMD is working on opening some microcode in their GPUs (I’m not sure about CPUs), which is great! You can just do your own thing, I prefer to use free software when I can and settle with proprietary code I can’t change, other people likes to settle with proprietary systems and a small group likes to force free software in everything they can. I can still help with donations, reporting issues (my favorite part about FOSS/OSS is clear communication) and helping the community until I’m knowledgeable enough in programming.

Btw, I don’t think we have to always settle, we can still fight and get things changing for the better. It may take some time, but I think it’s worth it.

I found a small command to run KDE Spectacle (screenshot software) with Tesseract so I can OCR a screenshot if I want to, I only had to install Tesseract and a main language, you could easily do the same with an API and/or a local AI.

It has become so bad for results in Spanish too, that I am now self-hosting SearXNG even though I’m the only one using it in my family lol
