  • I’ve been using Tumbleweed for almost a year (in October) and I even resized my partition so I could have more storage in TW.

    The only problems I’ve encountered specifically with TW were an update that made my repos not work, so I had to restore them and the usual OPI and zypper desyncs that make me wait until they’re both at sync and update correctly.

    The lack of software has been almost non-existent, I knew about distrobox so I use that to install software like Stellaris or PacketTracer. I’ve had no problems.



  • Missing. It’s fascinating for me to remember things I did with my grandma a bunch of years ago before she passed away.

    I lost one of my dogs family. She was so sweet and always wanted to jump and lick your face. She moved her little tail and it moved her entire body. Lately one of the other dogs has been doing the same and I can’t stop thinking about my other one. I miss her every day.

    I thank the universe for the little details that make me remember and miss people I love.







  • I’d be more comfortable with physical contact. I’m NB, but most people still perceive me and treat me as a man (even though I’ve said many times that I’m not) and that comes with the stigma of keeping distance.

    I also love to play with LEGOs, it’s kind of therapeutical I guess. It’s just me, talking about random things. It’s the same with videogames, I mostly play RPGs, but it isn’t as “weird”.

    BTW, while I’m non-binary, I’m still involved in man’s problems because I live them for my appearence. I also help some male friends with their problems with masculininty and feminism, so they don’t end up being redpilled alpha sigma males lol


  • I finally feel alive again. I lost my pet some weeks ago and it devastated me, but I have a new dog that came before she left me and I have to care for him and my chihuahua too.

    I also wasn’t sure how I would survive all the time I have to spend on my faculty (my schedule is horrible) and the lack of attention span I have, but yesterday I went to the library and studied a little bit, I’ve been understanding Algebra topics and haven’t missed much homework. I’m managing to organize everything I need and, even if next time I won’t, I’ve been helping to organize an important event for my career.

    Life hit me, but I’m recovering.


  • I love troubleshooting, even though I complain a lot about it, I still do it.

    That doesn’t mean that I use systems that require high maintenance like Arch Linux, but openSUSE doesn’t have the same support as other known Linux distributions, so I sometimes have to adapt to the options I have, like using containers or compiling for my system.

    I also like to provide support for people and help family/friends with whatever they need, tech-related or not.

    It may sound silly, but a lot of family (whom I try to avoid) always tell me to charge for the things I do, but I like to help and even donate a lot of things when I can. I also have been trying to give back to the FOSS community. To me it’s like a hobby, and money isn’t everything.




  • In México it’s kind of weird. We certainly have competition, but there are major leaders like: Telmex, izzi, Megacable and Totalplay. They are mostly mediocre, but they’ll try to outpace their competition every time they can. There are jobs just for advertisement where people move from sector to sector leaving pamphlets and trying to convince you to change your service. The problem is that they usually buy competitors to improve their infrastructure. For example, izzi bought part of Axtel, which to me was the best service provider in Nuevo León, so we moved to Totalplay the next month after the acquisition.

    They always have offers and will offer you ‘better’ packages to convince you, sometimes matching the same price just so they gain a new customer (commissions are also an incentive for workers). Recently the government announced a new service provided by our federal energy commission (CFE) which aims to provide free internet in rural and public places and paid mobile data plans. More competition is always welcomed.

    Gotta say that our Federal Telecommunications Office sometimes does its job and protects you against bad-faith movements like ISPs blocking you from moving and/or using other methods that are not approved, but no public services have a clean record. Still, at least here I’m seeing some progress.



    • Sesame Shortcuts. I know there are launcher with similar tools included, but I also use Nova Launcher and paid for it. I’ve been thinking to migrate to alternatives, but I haven’t done it yet.
    • Microsoft To Do. The alternatives are incomplete, ugly or don’t have the same capabilities. I’d gladly pay for any FOSS and Privacy respectful To Do app, but I guess setting up sync servers may be hard. I’ll give a try for tasks.org again in some days.

    I’m glad I don’t get to say Notion anymore, Anytype.io is missing some features, but I can manage to live without them and Notion was getting worse with time.
