I have used FreshRSS before but I was always annoyed that some sites don't provide RSS feeds and that even if they provide feeds they don't provide the whole content through it and only a preview.

What do you recommend for the perfect RSS setup? What are you using? Which app are you using to read them?

I have set my new name everywhere I can in the AppleID settings but the old name is still showing up in this place, and maybe in other places which I haven't seen yet. But how can I get my chosen name to show up here?

(for clarity, this is the profile picture selection on iPadOS)

Solution: The solution for me was that I had to change my name in the contacts.

I have the an extension installed for Firefox and I see the green dot under my extension menu on every website visit and everytime I reload a website indicating that it asks for permission to read data on that website again. When I hover over it it tells me that I can allow it for this visit and the cog wheel menu has the option "only when clicked" for "extension can read and write data" ticked. Clicking on that option does nothing.

How do I give the permission permanently? It's annoying to have to click that everytime.

I recently discovered SmartTube Next for Android TV to get an ad free experience and integrated Sponsorblock on my Nvidia Shield TV.

I found NewPipe for my phone but I don't see a way to connect my YouTube account to it and I guess I need to import my subs manually every time I change something.

So I'm wondering if there is an alternative YouTube app that is blocking ads (and ideally integrates Sponsorblock) for my smartphone and has the ability to connect my YouTube account like SmartTube Next does?

After getting fed up with TrueNAS (after it borked itself for the third time and I would have had to set it up AGAIN) I decided to learn Ansible and write a playbook to setup my homeserver that way.

I wanted to share this playbook with you in case someone might find it useful for their own setup and maybe someone has some tips on things I could improve.

This server will not be exposed to the public/internet. If I want to access a service on it from outside my home network I have Wireguard setup on my router to connect to my home network from anywhere.

Keep in mind that I'm relatively new to sysadmin stuff etc so don't be too harsh please 😅

Edit: I found the solution. I was missing a few environment variables.

These are the functioning Ansible tasks to deploy Immich:

I'm trying to install Immich via Ansible and so far so good. The containers are all running and as long as I don't try to access it the logs all look fine but as soon as I try to access the GUI I get the following error spammed in the immich-server container log and the browser just shows a timeout and doesn't connect to the GUI.

for testing purposes.

I'm currently running this on a Hyper-V VM running Fedora 39 Server Edition.

I don't know how to fix this issue, can someone help me?

I found this issue on the Immich GitHub where I found a possible fix regarding the firewall that it might block something but it didn't really help.

So I'm thankful for any ideas you can throw my way. Tell me if you need any more info.

Edit: Overlooked an error in the log and added it to the post.

Hello,

I need some help here. I've been trying to write my own Ansible playbook to setup my homeserver. The storage devices on this server are 1 NVMe SSD and 2 HDDs which I want to setup as a mirror. I want to setup all storage devices as either BTRFS or ZFS but I'm having trouble finding the correct modules to use in Ansible for this.

I have also found some roles in Ansible Galaxy but those are either not explained enough for me to use and seem overwhelming to use (especially in comparison to the terminal commands that are needed to setup the BTRFS volumes or ZFS pools). But just using the builtin command module in Ansible somehow feels wrong and not the right way to go about this.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Right now I think I will prefer using BTRFS.

I remember that it was possible at one point but now I don't seem to be able to find the option to do so.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

And I don't mean cancelling the membership.

Solution: At some point Patreon turned all "Followers" (there used to be an option under the creator name in the 3 dots menu to "follow" someone) into "Free Tier Memberships". On the website you can't see these "Free Tier Memberships" under Settings->Memberships. You have to go to each creator you have in your list on the left, go to the membership tab and click on the pencil icon to edit your membership, where you can cancel it.

In the app this whole thing is much easier as you get to see all your memberships including the "Free Tier Memberships" under the memberships point when clicking on your profile. From there you can click on every creator, then on the 3 dots menu in the top right, select "Your membership" and there you can cancel the membership.

I have no idea why this has to be so convoluted.

Edit: Oh and if the creator doesn't exist anymore you need to block and unblock them again to remove them from your list because you can't cancel a membership of a creator that doesn't exist anymore.

So I'm trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I'm running into a problem I don't know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that's available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install and I can use it, still working after rebooting it. But as soon as I do sudo dnf update or update everything via the Software Center the screen of the VM goes black and I can't use the VM anymore. No matter if I reboot it or not. When I power off the VM I can see the Fedora loading icon for a short period but that's it.

This also happened with NixOS but not with Fedora Server. I guess it must have something to do with the DE as both distros were installed with Gnome but I don't know how to solve it. I already tried reinstalling VMWare to no avail. I will try installing a distro with KDE to maybe rule out one cause.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I'm running VMWare on Windows 11.

I've always read that Gnome uses or expects you to use a pretty specific workflow.

Is there a blog post, video or something else that describes this workflow in detail?

Is there a way to disable one speaker when I have stereo speakers on my Android phone? It's a Pixel 7 for reference.

I'm doing voice training and it would be helpful if I could play white noise from just one speaker instead of both.
