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.

I noticed that my mouse wheel when scrolling up would sometimes scroll down instead (and vice versa). I figured it's probably because there is some dirt and grime inside the mouse wheel casing that's somehow interfering with the sensor.

How can I clean it without taking the mouse apart? I guess I could fill it with some isopropyl alcohol and wait a bit to shake it out or something but I don't know how well that would work and I don't want to make it worse obviously.

Does anyone have a better idea maybe? It's a Logitech G703 Lightspeed

I have a TrueNAS server at home and thought I could easily connect it to my phone (Pixel 7) as a network drive but was surprised to learn that Android doesn't have a built in feature for that.

iOS/iPadOS does have this to my surprise built in via the 'Files' app.

Or did I just not look hard enough in the Android settings? (I know there are 3rd party apps for this)

What do you use for offsite backup? Since best practice recommends 3 copies on 2 different devices where one device is offsite.

I thought about renting a storage box from Hetzner to use as an offsite backup but I was curious what you are using. And also if there might be some cheaper alternatives to my proposed solution that are equally as easy to setup.

Edit: SOLUTION: I had to use 127.0.0.1 and port 81 for the proxy host that points to the NPM admin page

I'm trying to follow this tutorial from Wolfgang's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E but I'm using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) on TrueNAS Scale.

I managed to get the SSL certificate working (the challenge is successful) but after setting up the proxy host for NPM I'm unable to reach the WebUI of NPM like he does in the video after setting that up.

This is the setting for my proxy host.

But when trying to access the WebUI through the domain name all I get is 504 Gateway Time-out. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Nginx Proxy Manager is also properly setup to use ports 80/443. So when I access the IP address without any port I get sent to the default site of NPM.

I want to create some filters for my Mastodon account to hide certain content.

For example I want to hide all posts that contain spoilers for a game. I can't just add the keyword "spoiler" or "leak" to the filter because that would hide them for any game obviously. But how do the filters in Mastodon work when I add multiple keywords to one? Do they act as logical AND or OR? So when I add "game name" and "spoiler" as separate keywords to a filter, do I hide every post that contains "game name" or "spoiler" in it, or do I only hide posts that contain both keywords.

The UI in Mastodon doesn't really make this clear tbh.

Edit: And do the filters only apply to non-followed accounts or to all?

Hi,

I wanted to forward the port to my Traefik install on my TrueNAS server. Unfortunately I have now learned that my ISP restricts the range of ports that I can open externally to 12396-12415, so internally I can open port 443 to port 12400 externally. So far so good, but how do I point my Cloudflare DNS record to this port?

My router is a Fritzbox 7530 if that's relevant.

I want to learn Linux and I read that installing Arch Linux is a great way to do this. But all guides I've found so far only guide you through the steps without much explanation of what it is you are doing during the installation.

Is there a guide that is more "guided" for lack of a better word? One that teaches me what I'm doing and why I'm doing it? I could of course google every single command and step during the installation but I think it would be easier to understand if there would be a guide including all this.

Edit: This isn't about this specific game in particular! The point is that install folders are just disappearing when they shouldn't.

I have just installed a non-steam game right after a fresh re-image of SteamOS. Genshin Impact is the game in question. At first I added the installer .exe to Steam as a non-steam game and successfully installed it. The next step would be to add the launcher .exe as a non-steam game. But I couldn't find it in the 'Steam/steamapps/compatdata/[random numbers]/pfx/drive_c/Progam Files (x86)' folder like expected and just installed it again without thinking twice about it. This time I could find the launcher.exe and added it as a non-steam game.

Now I could launch the launcher.exe through Steam and installed Genshin Impact from there and chose the C:/Program Files (x86) as the install location (from a weird Windows looking directory chooser). The game downloads and installs successfully and I close the launcher. Now the next step of the guide I'm following tells me to switch back to Gaming Mode and launch the game. I do that and it immediately closes again. I go back into Desktop Mode to see what's up. Maybe it just can't launch in Gaming Mode, but in Desktop Mode it behaves the same and closes immediately. To investigate I navigate to the installation folder again and see that the launcher installation has completely disappeared but the game itself is still installed and after adding the GenshinImpact.exe as a non-steam game I'm able to launch the game without problems.

But my question is now, how do I prevent this from happening? Why does a folder just disappear? Again I'm on a freshly re-imaged SteamOS and this is the first thing I've done before setting anything else up.

Any help is much appreciated!

Notes: This is the guide I was following to install the game

As a side note: In the video the guy is just right clicking and selecting 'Add to Steam' in Desktop Mode when I do that it just opens the dialogue window to choose the file I want to add to Steam instead of adding it directly. Is this a setting or something?

It gets even weirder: Just now I wanted to rename the as a non-steam game added 'GenshinImpact.exe' and upon clicking into the text field all input fields on that interface just cleared. Of course I wanted to add the target again and what do I see? Nothing. The game just disappeared. What the hell is going on?

To be clear I'm a beginner and I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the information I found and not completely sure if the information I found is up to date or outdated and I figured I would just ask here to get some clear answers.

What I want to achieve:

• have TrueNAS Scale web GUI and installed apps like Nextcloud or Photoprism be remotely accessible
• have that remote access be secure
• use my registered domain instead of the IP address of my server to access the TrueNAS Scale web GUI and the installed apps
• don't have certificate warnings when accessing all this over HTTPS

Can someone explain to me how I achieve this or point me to a guide that walks me through it? I appreciate any help I can get.

I already managed to setup Tailscale and managed to access my server through that but then I got stuck on how to set it up to use my registered domain name to access the server.

So the next thing I tried was using the DynDNS of my Fritzbox but unfortunately it seems that Cloudflare (where I have registered my domain) does not provide a "update url" which the Fritzbox DynDNS GUI requires to set it up. This was to use it in combination with port forwarding and Wireguard (this is the guide I was following: https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-truenas-scale/)

I also found this guide: https://notthebe.ee/blog/easy-ssl-in-homelab-dns01/ but that's for servers without TrueNAS and I don't think I'm experienced enough to transfer it and apply it to TrueNAS.

So yeah, I'm overwhelmed by information and I need help.
