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.

Synology Drive Client 4.0.2 Issues

Update. It turns out that the National Academies of Science (#NAS) did 𝗻𝗼𝘁 acquiesce in this #censorship of #climate science. In a short statement (March 11), it said that “The manual, including the chapter on climate science, will continue to be available on the Academy’s website.”

PS: Bravo to the NAS. Although it's not part of the govt, about 85% of its funding comes from govt agencies, making it highly vulnerable to retaliatory defunding. It's the first agency I've seen with that level of vulnerability flatly reject a Trumpist demand to censor research.

EDIT. I meant to make this a threaded reply to my earlier post on the same subject, before we knew the NAS decision. But I inadvertently made it a separate post. Here's the earlier post (Feb 11, 2026).

Couldn't get back to sleep this morning after waking up in pain, so I took some time to ease the mental pain of keeping track of what's running where in my #homelab with a new #wiki page. Have a look if you're interested in what I'm running across my main #NAS and two Raspberry Pis.

Hopefully this will serve as a reminder of what config files I really need to put in a central location.
