Anyone who has made the switch from Twitter to Mastodon may notice that some news sources are still missing here. One way to get them into the Fediverse is to use an RSS Feed via a Mastodon bot. This guide shows you how to display RSS Feeds with feed2toot Mastodon. I will publish the RSS Feed on my own Mastodon server. If you want to know how to run your own Mastodon, here is a instruction by me....

Pi-hole is free software with the function of a tracking and ad blocker and an optional DHCP server. Pi-hole is based on a Linux system and was developed for use on microcomputers in the sense of an embedded system. This guide shows you the necessary steps so that you can enjoy an ad-free Internet....

In this tutorial I will describe how you can use Git to sign commits with an OpenPGP key. With this you can simply confirm that you really are the author. The commit is then displayed as signed on e.g. GitHub. I’m going to assume that you’ve already created an OpenPGP key. Otherwise you can search the net for instructions, or get what you need from my tutorial on Nitrokey Pro 2....
In this tutorial I will show you all the necessary steps to convert a Gentoo from a “no-multilib” system to a “multilib” system. I had a “no-multilib” Gentoo running on my server, but got into trouble somehow getting a 32-bit application to work. Unfortunately, simply changing the profile is not sufficient. Since a new installation was too complex for me, I decided on a different way, which I will explain to you here....
In this tutorial I will explain how to create an OpenPGP key with GnuPG (version 2.3.8) on the Nitrokey Pro 2. The requirement for this tutorial is that you already have the Nitrokey app installed. You can find instructions on how to do this in Gentoo here. Preperation The Nitrokey Pro 2 works in connection with GnuPG like a smart card, it is practically one. To check whether access to this is given, we enter the following as a normal user (owner Nitrokey) in the console:...

Kodi offers the possibility to use an external database instead of a local database for the audio, tvshows and movies libraries. What advantages does this bring? Just imagine the scenario that you operate several televisions in the house with e.g. LibreELEC / OpenELEC. If each of these devices uses its own database, the maintenance of the same ones becomes increasingly complex. What care?!? … the maintenance of the tvshows and movie names....
You can make NFS shares available with the Avahi Service. All you have to do is create an Avahi service. If the service is set up correctly, file browsers with Zeroconf support can find the shares automatically. Setup NFS share in “/etc/exports” First we create the share in the “/etc/exports” file: /export/photos 192.168.3.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) Adjusts the IP address range in the example above to your network. The “insecure” option is important, without which the release via Avahi will not work....
