I was surprised too. But a lot of the current NAS devices basically operate as hosting devices. It makes sense the hard drives are there the power is there the RAM is there the CPU is there. So for the low intensity containers and VMs you want to run like a Plex server, or DNS server, or tail scale it’s all right there

At this point, it might be easier just to buy a supported UPS. I’m glad the backups 850 is working. It’s a good data point

I followed your advice, and went through the settings, and try to enable the USB device. But it’s just not detected.

Oh the synology drive is a file system syncing utility, it provides local caching of a remote file system and then syncs the files back. It’s not the software that shuts down the computer

Right now when updates get applied to the NAS, if it gets powered off during the update window that would be really bad and inconvenient require manual intervention.

In memory caching, and the Amy cashing, well I think the file system would almost certainly be in a consistent state, you might lose data in flight if you’re not careful.

The real problem, that I need an nas for, is not the loss of some data, it’s when the storms hit and there’s flooding, the power can go up and down and cycle quite rapidly. And that’s really bad for sensitive hardware like hard disks. So I want the NAS to shut off when the power starts getting bad, and not turn on for a really long time but still turn on automatically when things stabilize

Because this device runs a bunch of VMs and containers as well closing down so that all of those rights get flushed is good practice

AND their Synology drive client requires administrative permission to install on Mac OS, and on Windows. Why? Why…

Well I’m ranting about this process, I have other complaints.

Synology.com - if you want to add a second factor to your account, requires a phone number to be the master factor, in case you lose your second factor. So if you’re worried about Sim jacking, or even just not having a consistent phone number for the lifetime of the deployment, it’s kind of a terrible practice. There’s no way to unlink all phone numbers from an account, you can only replace them with a new phone number.

Synology does actually support hardware USB keys, but only as a secondary factor behind SMS… Ai ya.

I think it’ll generate 5 days converted into seconds number of operations.

To decrypt however, you have to do all those operations, so I think it would take 5 days to decrypt. Even if you wait 10 days to start the operation

This seems interesting. But for something so complex I would really like them to have a white paper to see how they achieve this.

https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/189 Other systems, for instance, use a third party network to broadcast the parts of the secret that are needed to decrypt over time. So you’re relying on a third-party service, and if that third party service disappears you can’t unencrypt

From a showrunner perspective, you want to have a diverse set of sets, activities, and situations you can perform in. That leaves you either with wealthy characters, who can justify doing these things in these exotic places. Or poor characters who behave wealthy inexplicably.

Should we examine your profile?

Your username here is blow me, how is your dating app presence?

Are you putting up any red flags, without realizing it?

No, I’m pretty f****** loathe.

Governments dictating technical standards, is fine if it’s a regulatory body that’s dynamic, but bad if the technical standard is encodified in the law itself.

In the United States the American national standards association, as well as other bodies, set standards, and the government can dictate that you need to use a standard for mainstream device. That’s fine

But a lot saying you must use USB-C, that’s crazy. USB-C has a limited lifespan. Plus they’ll be innovation in the future.

I use tinder, it’s been really good for me.

The key is to use the app that is popular in your location.

Attitude is a huge factor, think of it just like meeting random people, maybe having great discussions, maybe having an excuse to go to event with somebody, having a good adventure. No pressure no expectations. If you have a plan people love to join the plan. So the initial swipe match game is what it is. You can have a friend with a good camera take some nice photos, you can show interesting places, interesting things, let the app choose your most engaging photo for you automatically.

When you talk to people find something interesting about them, ask them questions about it, have your own agenda, invite them to events you already have planned and no big deal if they don’t go. Surprisingly most people want to go and see what this cool thing you’re doing is. And then from there you know you can build up.

The dating apps are just a meeting place of people who are interested in meeting people. If you treat it like that, just like a happy hour, you’re going to have a great time

Well it’s a good thing at the moment, I am loath for governments to dictate technical specifications. I’d much rather they say electronics devices must adhere to a modern open standard. And if you are introducing your new standard, it has to be patented royalty free for other people to use

You could ask the admins to delete your content.

I’m not the OP, but you can get 8TiB SSDs, they are spendy, but doable, no spinning disks required, the benefit of using a nas based solution is you can put a bunch of cheap SSDs in

Not directly an answer, but the CRT guy has a series of industrial computers for different environments, which could provide inspiration.

Some of them have direct DC inputs, some have anti-vibration designs, some have massive passive cooling!

I think a Synology box would work for you, or a TrueNas design - you could just build out one of their motherboards in your own itx case. These are good, robust, anti-vibration, mobile low power cpus, hardware selected for robustness and minimum heat. Stick it in a cupboard and forget about it, they run containers, and vms.

Donating even a very small amount sends a signal, and makes the developers feel valued. You spent time and effort to send a token amount, that is a strong emotional event.

It wasn’t broken. But thank you for letting people know it works on platforms other then xen.
