  1. hmm since first September, my #synology CloudSync to #Hetzner storage share fails on a lot of files ... seems my offsite backup is currently not working. :-/

    Keep fingers crossed that the support can give me a hint.

    I really dislike such bugs

  4. So my #Synology NAS has started throwing Btrfs Checksum errors on some files. It's always the same files, and some of them are files that haven't changed in ages. Not a good sign.

    The disks aren't throwing any SMART errors, UDMA CRC or otherwise, so the obvious next thing to check is for bad RAM.

    When I bought this DS918+ back 8 years ago, I also replaced the factory 4 GB of RAM with two third-party 8 GB sticks for a total of 16 GB. Then lost the factory stick somewhere.

  7. Another save for the #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness.

    After a corrupted windows OS partition due to boot loop caused by a faulty PSU, the machine was recovered in 30 min (250GB partition) following a PSU replacement.

    It's always easy when you have an up to date and working backup. 😎

  12. Wieso sagt mir denn keiner, dass bei einem Synology-NAS der Papierkorb standardmäßig aktiviert ist?

    Und ich wundere mich, warum mein NAS weiterhin fast voll ist, obwohl ich einen Haufen alter Sachen gelöscht hatte.

    Kaum wurde der Papierkorb bereinigt sind noch mehr als 50% der Speicherkapazität frei.

  17. Further irony: the Raspberry Pi 3b is arguably more capable than the DS413's P1022 core, containing twice as many cores running 20% faster at twice the native bandwidth (64 bits vs 32 bits)... but it's not PowerPC, so I'm using it to save buying a $15 cable.

    I feel like this happens a lot in retro-computing :)

  18. @goetz Selbstverständlich habe ich das -- von Tag "1" an... ;-)

    Es wird sich zeigen, ob man den Anspruch ohne Weiteres durchgesetzt bekommt. #IPv6 ist zwar Bestandteil der Leistungsbeschreibung, allerdings kann man natürlich (gem. #TKG) argumentieren, dass es kein "#Totalausfall" ist. Für mich ist die Einschränkung allerdings sehr wesentlich, da ich ohne IPv6 nicht mehr "von außen" an mein #Synology #NAS komme...

  19. I haven't used #SynologyNAS for a long time, and today I decided to check the #SynologyPhotos release notes to see what new features were added during that period.

    It's nothing. The last new feature was added in version 1.8.0-10070, when I was still using it. Almost a year ago, on April 16 2025.

    It seems that #Synology is no longer suitable for personal use.

  20. I don't know if it's a #selfhosting #IT topic or a #psy #OCD #burnout topic.
    I don't know if it's a call for help or if I just need to dump this here.

    First, I'm very glad that I could totally leave the #GAFAMs! Yes, they make your digital life apparently easier, but the price to pay is IMHO far, far too high. I despise them!

    My #selfhost setup is driving me nuts: #VPN, online services, I can't decide if I'm happy with my #Synology #NAS hosting (backed up on SYnology C2), if I need a #VPS (my attempts showed that maintenance is high) or an assisted hosting service (like #PikaPods which sounds great). Availability of online services would be higher.

  21. Warming up some new #Synology #HAT3320 drives while waiting for a few more... ;)

    Power on time: 0 hours. Another important element nowadays

  22. some more stats from the internal metrics that show the huge difference in system performance after the RAM Upgrade.

  23. 🙄 Oh #Synology, you banned third-party HDDs and then acted shocked when your #NAS #sales plunged like a lead balloon. 🎈 Now you're backpedaling faster than a #tech reviewer on deadline, and the only thing more predictable than your #policy #reversal is the endless list of tech jargon you buried it under. 📉

  24. I see Synology have taken some UI hints from Microsoft about how progress bars should (not) work.

    The progress bar in the Hyper Backup app has slowly gone from 0% to 100% but does that mean the task has finished?

    Of course not!

    Now the progress bar has been replaced by the word “Waiting” and three animating dots with zero indication of how long I should be "waiting" for.

    It's this sort of shit by developers that absolutely infuriates normal people!

  25. That moment when you want to upgrade your #Synology equipment but you can’t as you have users using it so you have to look for a downtime window?

    All good, but it sucks when it’s a #selfhost equipment and the users are your family members -.-

  26. Mein neuer Blog-Artikel ist online!

    Ich zeige, wie Du Mastodon-Medieninhalte flexibel und einfach mit dem S3-kompatiblen Hetzner Object Storage in die Cloud auslagerst, inkl. Migration, Nginx-Konfiguration und Backup mit Synology DiskStation.

    Ideal für alle, die mehr Skalierbarkeit und Unabhängigkeit wollen.

  27. Trying to get a box to make a mount on a box. I can see that NFsv4 is enabled and there is a share - but when I try to mount the share, I get an error from mount on and the Synology box vanishes from the net for several minutes...

    Strange.

  28. Been set a challenge to make which doesn't have on, accessible over the Internet.

    I think I'm going to use a VM in the cloud as my public Wireguard entry point and a Debian box inside the office to act as my relay, and then use IP tables rules to relay packets to and from the Synology NAS. I think it can all be done.

    Don't like but Windows doesn't speak .

  29. The unit arrived today. Great smooth experience with the whole NAS to NAS migration. Updated the new unit to the same OS version and moved the drives.

    The wizard detected the migration, made a quick restore process and everything was back as it was. Not a single setting, package or config needed to be altered. Advanced RMA was worth it. Total downtime with 2 follow up updates was 14 minutes. #synology #rs2423 #selfhosting #selfhosted #migration #disasterrecovery
