Removal of old packages

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

[Possible bug] Sharing a post to Firefox makes Voyager into Firefox, and I can't get back!

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

[pre-noob] What's the process for migrating from, in my case, Alexa, Smart Life to Home Assistant?

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

Is there a community for instrument learners, particularly piano/keyboard?

My early teen cousin is learning to play keyboard/piano. She likes to compose her own songs, and she's good at that, but perhaps could use some help with the basis rhythm.

I thought that a book of rhythms might help. Something like this, but it's going to be the wrong era for her on the surface, although the rhythms repeat through the ages. Encyclopedia of Piano Rhythm Patterns: Popular Piano Rhythms and How to Play Them https://amzn.eu/d/2JdTsST

Please point me in the right direction. Thank-you in advance

Abbott Freestyle Libre new user: hints please

Dear all

Just ordered my (first) trial Freestyle Libre attachment! I understand it's a v2 (flash) not a v3 (CGM). I don't think that they send v3 as trials.

Can I have any hints for anyone who has never used anything like that, please.

I think I saw that people use a bandage like thing to help keep it on, but hints about simple things like where to put it and showering/bathing would also be appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.
