How to install and set up Tiny Tiny RSS in Ubuntu
1. Install Tiny Tiny RSS in Ubuntu.
To install mysql-server and mysql-client, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-clientsudo apt-get install tt-rsscd && wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tt-rss/1.6.2+dfsg-2/+build/4195975/+files/tt-rss_1.6.2%2Bdfsg-2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i tt-rss*.deb
sudo apt-get install -fsudo dpkg-reconfigure tt-rss2. Setting up Tiny Tiny RSS.
You need to edit /etc/tt-rss/config.php with a text editor as root, e.g.: nano:
sudo nano /etc/tt-rss/config.php- in this file, scroll down to “define(‘SELF_URL_PATH’, ‘http://yourserver/tt-rss/’);” and replace “yourserver” with your server address, or use “localhost” if you only plan on using it locally. Then save the file and exit (press: CTRL + o, ENTER then CTRL + x).
sudo ln -s ../conf-available/50-tt-rss.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d
sudo service apache2 restart3. Getting Tiny Tiny RSS to update the feeds.
sudo nano /etc/default/tt-rssAnd finally, start the Tiny Tiny RSS service:
sudo service tt-rss start4. Finishing up the Tiny Tiny RSS configuration.
5. Optional: import your Google Reader feeds into Tiny Tiny RSS.
… then click “Import and export” (this is how it shows up in the version available in the Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail repository but I believe it’s a bit different for newer Tiny Tiny RSS versions), then click “Browse” under OPML, select the subscriptions.xml file you’ve extracted from the archive downloaded under step a, then click “Import my OPML” and you’re done.

10 Raspberry Pi creations that show how amazing the tiny PC can be
The Raspberry Pi, the $ 35 credit card-sized computer, has lived an interesting life despite being less than a year old. It has been used to teach programming and host servers, but above all it has provided a near-perfect platform for some of the most fun and interesting hobbyist projects in the computing world. Arcade cabinets, computing clusters housed in LEGOs, musical instruments, robots, and wearable computers are just some of the uses Pi owners have found. It turns out you can do a lot with an ARM processor, GPU, a few ports and GPIO pins, and an operating system (typically Linux-based) loaded onto an SD card. Here are 10 of the coolest Raspberry Pi creations we’ve been able to find.
