  • 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).


  • 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 :)



  • 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.

    If you do or know someone that will do, please take into consideration that the housing market in México, right now, has been favoring foreigners and that in some areas, they’ve displaced the locals and raised prices so much that they can’t afford to be there anymore (be for shopping, working, etc.). Please don’t contribute to this and research before, do not try to pay in euros/dollars, come legally and work legally.



  • Syncing files that you may open in both (or more) devices at the same time is unsafe with any service, but you can manage to avoid sync conflicts with KeePass if you do not open the same file at the same time or open the Android app in read-only mode. I’ve only had like 3-4 conflict files this year and they weren’t important.
