#synologynas — Public Fediverse posts

On this show, I play a song from Doctor Deathray; as I was upgrading the capacity of my Synology NAS I discovered I didn't need it; don't enable the trash can on your Time Machine drives on a NAS; I am using my extra capacity to self-host Mastodon; running a one person Mastodon instance is easier than I predicted; I love NTFY for notifications; I hate Apprise for notifications; I bought a Trezor hardware wallet to hold all my weird pockets of crypto; the UX of using crypto for anything sucks; Obsidian starts slow on my Android phone; Quick Draft for Obsidian solves a big problem for me.

Here is the direct MP3 download for the Evil Genius Chronicles podcast, January 30 2026.

@estevez @betoniusz I'm following a similar path: jonsbo n2 with an Intel n305 motherboard from cwwk (Topton n18 would also work).

I haven't decided the OS yet. #TruenasScale or a build it myself approach with #Debian...

Stealing disks from your #synologynas sounds like music to my ears.

#homelab #selfhosting

Updating my very old #SynologyNAS from 2017. Didn't use it for years. Is there anything besides updating that thing that might be a security issue?

I don't wanna reach it from outside my network and just backup our work devices monthly.

@jippi @josh @liber Planning to use it with an external dock + #Oculink for #GPU acceleration down the road. For now, it’s going on my desk, but future plans include a cabinet rack, more network gear, a #SynologyNAS, and a #HomeAssistant Yellow setup. Big upgrades ahead—onwards! #LinuxServer #containers #Linux #Computing #homelab

As your #homelab grows, we sometimes get bad about documenting what we did and how it's all working.

And then, sitting down in draw.io to diagram it all out can be a chore.

I think many people already use git repos for their homelab config (and if you're not, you should give it a try), so my pro-tip is:
diagram your setup with #json.

It's concise enough to be useful and quick to write. You can version control it easily. The schema is up to you. Make it make sense for you.

"But...that's not a diagram...?", i hear you asking.

And I reply to you: : "Yes it is!"

My #synology NAS has, honestly, been bulletproof for several years. It's getting long in the tooth, but still chugs away great.

That said, I'm at the point where, for philosophical reasons, I'm probably going to move to a #trunas #nextcloud combo.

In preparation for that upgrade, this morning I'm in the middle of doing a Volume/iSCSI LUN refactor on my #SynologyNAS for better data organization, and I'm in that nervous middle phase where all the data only exists on my external hard drives attached to my computer, while the storage pool gets an overhaul...

#homelab #selfhost #selfhosting #nas

So. Ich weiss jetzt das der #smbd auf meinem #synologyNAS nach ein Paar Tagen viel Last (CPU) produziert - aber sinnlos. Ein synopkg stop SMBService bringt den Spuk wieder runter auf normale Werte. Kennt Ihr einen Weg das zu automatisieren? Sowas wie "Wenn Last bei >8, führe einen Befehl aus"?

Synology warnt vor kritischer Lücke in VPN-Plus-Server

Wer Synology-Router als VPN-Server einsetzt, muss die Software zügig aktualisieren. Eine kritische Sicherheitslücke ermöglicht Angreifern sonst Codeschmuggel.

Boy, I sure wish I could figure out why my NAS and Home assistant pi stop responding every day. It might be time for an external log server...

#SynologyNAS #hassio #HomeAssistant #linux #homelab

Was doing some house chores when my #SynologyNas started beeping.

It turns out, my 3 year old daughter climbed up a book case and started pulling out hard drives. Two of my drives are now in bad states.

On the plus side:
- Everything is backed up elsewhere, so I *should* be able to recover.
- I have a long weekend where I can put my recovery process to the test.
- I have an excuse to buy a new drive.
- I have my own 3 year old #ChaosMonkey.
