Finally updated to DSM 7.2. There were too many security fixes and utility updates for me to remain on 7.1 in good conscience. This means that tomorrow begins the process of writing bug reports for all of the inaccessibility hiccups yet again (i.e. Control Panel). Luckily I use SSH for 99.999% of things. #Synology#a11y#accessibility
Hallo fediverse,
Ich will/muss ein paar meiner #homelab Systeme loswerden und bevor ich direkt zu eBay gehe frag ich Mal hier.
U.a. ein kompletter 4U Ryzen 9 3900x Server, Intel x299 HEDT Board inkl. CPU, #Synology ds620 slim, #qnap ts-253Be.
@synoforum I love how companies decide things are "no longer necessary" cos "[tech has] gone mainstream several years ago". And how features we BUY are now no longer needed...
ps: Their decision doesn't address how SOME people and devices would like their #synology to transcode #AAC because players on some devices are shitty!
@bitwarden I have #bitwarden installed on my #Synology and it's AWESOME. It's Docker's "VaultWarden" which is 100% the enterprise version of bitwarden. Set it up for my entire family. Shared folders, etc... can be backed up and stored encrypted. Excellent tool. Fantastic for OTP
If you have notes in Evernote it might be a good time to make sure they are safely backed up! Evernote looks to have fired almost all its employees. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609641
@joelpomales@liaizon on the note of NoteStation, atm (for a while now tbh) there is no development team behind it in #Synology. I wouldn't be surprised if they deprecate it at one point in the future.
Des conseils pour remplacer un #NAS#Synology qui arrive en fin de vie et ne pas resigner chez un vendeur de solutions +/- propriétaires ? Pas simple de trouver des recos matérielles actualisées en ligne pour un NAS #DIY ...
Peut-être @sebsauvage ou @SuperDocteur ?
RT apprécié ! Merci !
Have started getting email notifications that my home NAS is end of life. It's sat there dutifully doing NAS things for 10 years. So I suppose it may be time for an upgrade.
Are Synology still the go-to? Or should I look at some others? Use case is: >8TB storage (current disks will be considered EOL too), minimum 2 disks, 1gig ethernet ports, bonus for a 2.5, storage data is just files, not a lot of media, don't need fancy transcoding stuff, need backup to local USB and a cloud, and be able to do CCTV recording.
Not into a having a roaring old 2U server with FreeNAS. #NAS#Synology
Thinking I want to build my first personal home server. I have a #Synology#NAS DS220j but I'm thinking it's probably not adequate for Plex transcoding, among other tasks. I have a spare #Ryzen 2700x and 16GB DDR4, and also a 2060 Super (does a server benefit from a GPU?). Looking for any advice #fosstodon would be willing to share regarding hardware and software solutions.
Wanted for #macOS 15 Death Valley: a backup system that just works. Tired of babysitting Time Machine. Nice on paper but too unreliable (and hard to diagnose) in practice.
@chucker@noleli@lextar@krzyzanowskim I too TM to a #synology - which I end up having to start a new backup more frequently than I’d like when TM manages to confuse itself backing up to Apple’s recommended SMB external disk. I also keep a local APFS formatted disk TM backup. And I use #backblaze for off site assurance
I save and backup all the photos on a Synology NAS instead of using one of the online providers. However Synology Photos doesn't have good search capabilities. So I built a project to search through the images using natural language captions, and found that it works really well....

If you upload your photos to Google's cloud, and do so as your sole means of backup, you shouldn't...and this is why. There WILL come a day where Google (or any cloud provider) will close their cloud, and your images will go with it.
Consider self-hosting at home or on a VPS with @nextcloud or something similar.

Absolutely agree... And for users with less IT background, buying a good #NAS like #synology offers, might be a good solution to start. They provide photo backup tools and the more high-spec models even allow you to run #docker so you're not locked to their software. You should however keep backups in the cloud or with a friend (and Synology has a nice tool for this as well).
