  • Could you give more information?

    Is it running in the same machine you want to search from?

    Is it running in a container (and which network mode)?

    Have you changed the configuration of SearXNG? I think the default URL was localhost in some settings (like the hostname or base_url variables in both settings.yml and docker-compose.yml).

    Also, it’s been a while since I made SearXNG my default search engine, I used to use an extension since the Firefox way is less customizable.


  • That would be wonderful! I got the opportunity to try Linux when I was like 5 (didn’t know it was Linux) and even though I was already very interested in computers, I didn’t know I was using Linux nor how capable it was.

    It took time until I had my own laptop and could start learning new things, and only knowing about Linux from afar since I wasn’t able to install it myself and didn’t have any adults that could teach me, but you could be that person to this kid (if they’re interested in the future ofc)!


  • I’ve been using Anytype for project management and some collections, like my favorite art pieces, an archive of memos/random notes and writing planning.

    I use markor for reminders (QuickNote) and sometimes to convert files to PDF since I mostly use Markdowm for everything.

    I haven’t found a perfect workflow, but I haven’t tried using Anytype for serious note-taking, though it seems very capable.



  • Most of the Mexican government uses Twitter almost exclusively and most media only have access to their news via their websites (no RSS/Atom). There’s no clear way to fight this as there are no clear laws about access to publicly funded content 😐

    So in events like this, most people have to rely on conversations and the governemnt presence because you can’t find information easily.


  • I do get stressed when public transport is inefficient, but it’s my state’s problem because of carbrains, and I also really enjoy being able to go to the city’s center or close to the metro to a party, drink/smoke and get to my house using public transport. Mind you, I don’t get too bad, I’d hate to bother or worry other people.




  • That used to happen to me A LOT. Right now it only happens because I have a faulty RAM that I’m planning to replace very soon, but before that, I think the CPU was overheated and it forcefully rebooted my laptop, at least that was my impression by the logs at boot.

    After a long time of debugging, I decided to, first, disable hibernation to see if that was a problem, then I disabled CPU boost and I think that was the cause of overheating, since, for some reason, my distro decided that it was a good idea to use CPU boost for any common task and it caused overheating.

    I haven’t had any problems not related to faulty RAM since then lol

    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).








  • not_ammtoLinuxWhat was your last RTFM adventure?

    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).
