I use the 'No Thanks' app, but only as a starting point to then confirm if what they say it's true. I don't like that it's closed source, but at least it's an option. Also, I should note that some brands are ethical in some countries or states, but not globally, so you should check local resources for better results 🧐

Too many times I've been at the very limit of failing to deliver an assignment. I used to have classes from morning to night (used to get home at 23:00) and sometimes I did homework at uni and scan/upload in my computer since camera-scanned documents don't look as good, so I had to deliver them ASAP, but Windows would take a LOT of time to load Teams and sometimes it started applying updates at startup, so it would be SLOW AS HELL.

Just some days ago it happened again (the homework was assigned a day before) so I booted up windows and what a surprise (/s) it started applying updates, so Teams wouldn't even open. I had to send the files from there to my linux computer (I love you, KDE connect!) because I still had to add some things to the document and Teams for Linux loaded in a second lol

I'm still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven't been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using podlet, I have to edit some things manually.

I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I'm still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u

This has happened in México too, the most famously recorded one was during Enrique Peña Nieto's term (sorry for linking to YT). They said the flag thing was an accident, but it was during the Flag Day and everyone was angry with the way the government was handling things. The government-influenced media was angry with the military because "they made a mistake", but we all knew why it happened.

LOL! Me too, I started using a lot the search function and I ended up moving to a FOSS alternative that is search-focused (and a lot lighter)

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.

I'm self-hosting in a 500GB HDD, 2 cores AMD A6, 8GB RAM thinkcentre (access for LAN only) that I got very cheap.

It could be better, I'm going to buy a new computer for personal use and I'm the only one in my family who uses the hosted services, so upgrades will come later 😴

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.

Thanks! I'll check which similar hardware I can find near me :D

May I ask which devices (computers/keyboards) do you use for your screens? I'd like to do the same, since we mostly watch the same TV channels in my house and one subscription would cover most of the content my family watches.

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

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
