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 :)

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.

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.

I think tools like YaST help to save time, instead of editing the bootloader in config files, you can simply enter, search for “Boot Loader” and edit there, be following a tutorial or official documentation. I sometimes prefer to use YaST just so I don’t do things wrong. it’s like the old Control Panel in Windows.

I use Canva in the browser, but I gotta say that it works better in Microsoft Edge than in Firefox. I think it may be a Chromium thing, but I haven’t tested other browsers.

The last time I broke Plasma with themes, was because they weren’t compatible anymore. They could do better with the store, though, there is a lot of stuff which doesn’t work anymore.
