  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. Wondering if the #Synology #DSFile mobile app will get support for the new #Apple #LiquidGlass, now that #Drive and #Photos have been updated?

    While the app is not much in terms of functionality, it still offers just enough. Having a more unified look and feel shouldn't be that hard.

  18. Back in the day, we had #deleteFacebook, #deleteMeta, #deleteWhatsApp, and so on.

    Some people heeded the call for a while, only to quietly return to Big Tech later on.

    Now, many have been jolted awake by our dependence on Big Tech, and another #quitday and other variations are gaining momentum.

    Personally, I started that journey years ago.

    - From Gmail to #ProtonMail and #Tuta
    - From Google to #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - From Chrome to #Brave #Mulvad and #LibreWolf
    - From MS Office to #LibreOffice
    - From Google Drive to #NextCloud and #Synology
    - From Facebook to #MeWe and #Mastodon
    - From Windows to #Linux
    - From WhatsApp to #Threema #Signal #Jami and #Matrix #Element
    - From Zoom to #Jitsi and #ProtonMeet
    - From Google Translate to #Deepl

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but there’s a European and open-source alternative for every American Big Tech and closed-source application.

    What I’ve noticed is that many people are afraid of what they don’t know and therefore don’t dare to make the switch (completely).
    (Some people just don’t give a damn and convenience is all that matters)

    Any fear is unfounded, and if all of us switches en masse, Big Tech’s power will be quickly broken, and the development of alternatives will proceed much more smoothly and quickly.

  19. Vroeger hadden we #deleteFacebook #deleteMeta #deleteWhatsApp en noem maar op.

    Sommigen gaven daar even gehoor aan om later toch stilletjes terug te keren naar Big Tec.

    Nu werden velen even wakker geschud door onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tec en komt er weer een #doeidag en andere varianten op gang.

    Persoonlijk ben ik die reis al jaren geleden begonnen.

    - Van Gmail naar #ProtonMail en #Tuta
    - Van Google naar #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - Van chrome naar #Brave #Mulvad en #LibreWolf
    - Van MS Office naar #LibreOffice
    - Van Google Drive naar #NextCloud en #Synology
    - Van Facebook naar #MeWe en #Mastodon
    - Van Windows naar #Linux
    - Van Whatsapp naar #Threema #Signal #Jami en #Matrix #Element
    - Van Zoom naar #Jitsi en #ProtonMeet
    - Van Google Translate naar #Deepl

    Ik vergeet er vast nog een paar, maar er is voor elke Amerikaanse en Closed Source toepassing wel een Europees en Open Source alternatief.

    Wat ik merk is dat veel mensen bang zijn voor dat wat ze niet kennen en daarom niet (geheel) durven over te stappen.
    (sommigen interesseerd het gewoon geen reet en is gemak het enige dat telt)

    Eventuele angst is ongegrond en als we met heel Europa massaal overstappen is de macht van Big Tec snel gebroken en verloopt de ontwikkeling van alternatieven veel soepeler en sneller.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

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

  23. #Synology #Tiering feature (still in beta) had an update change regarding hot and cold model compatibility.

    Added many more RS models as hot tier, FS200T and both DVA models have been removed.

  24. Hey fediverse — I have some exciting news to share.

    Over the past few years, I’ve been running a private cloud platform called BaezCloud, originally just for my own clients — fast, secure, privacy-respecting infrastructure tailored to real-world creative workflows.

    What started as a personal solution grew into something bigger than I expected. And today, I’m proud to announce that it’s become its own fully independent company:
    Nuvon is officially live.

    Nuvon is a privacy-first, EU-hosted cloud infrastructure provider built from scratch with simplicity, transparency, and control at its core. We’re fully self-funded, running our own servers (no third-party “cloud”), and committed to serving individuals and small teams — not just enterprise whales.

    At launch, we’re offering:
    • Nuvon Drive – encrypted file sync & team cloud drive
    • Nuvon SafeBackup – automated, secure server + endpoint backup
    • Nuvon Photos – private photo hosting

    Under the hood, we operate a serious Synology infrastructure, hosted in datacenters in the Czech Republic, currently with dual 25Gbps uplinks and loads of available bandwidth and capacity.
    No throttling. No transfer limits. Just raw speed and control — the way it should be.

    Because of our Synology ecosystem, we also offer seamless integration for anyone already using Synology NAS. We can extend your internal setup to remote collaborators and freelancers without sacrificing security or performance — or clogging your own pipe.

    And for editors and creatives:
    If you’re using Postlab, our cloud storage is already fully supported and certified. So whether you’re syncing a team project or backing up your production files, you can trust it’ll just work.

    If any of this sounds useful, I’d love to chat.
    You can DM me or book a quick intro call here:
    https://booking.nuvon.io/felipe

    Thanks to everyone who supported BaezCloud along the way.
    Nuvon is just getting started — and we’re building it for people like you.

  25. 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.

    Future Synology storage systems will require Synology branded mass storage.

    I’ve never been a fan of these Taiwanese storage systems simply because file systems and redundancy technology could not be ascertained pre-sale.

    Dismal Manor Gang has 2 TrueNAS Mini+ and a 45homelab.com (Storinator mob, storage for BackBlaze) hl4 4 slot available from bare metal to built & burned in Zen4 systems.

  27. What are y’all using for a home dashboard of sorts? I have and would like to monitor/see:
    #HomeKit, #Homebridge, #Tautulli #Plex #Sonarr #radarr #synology NAS.

    I’d like something pretty/customizable as I may jam it on an old intel tablet and hang it on the wall.
