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.
I have a #SynologyNAS at home. At the beginning it was ok, easy to manage. But I added more and more services via docker (pihole, vaultwarden, navidrome,..) and every Synology update breaks something.
Perhaps I should just delete it and go for some open source Linux..
Mein Tipp für den #diday – nutzt einen eigenen Server!
Wir haben ein #SynologyNAS und erhalten damit unsere digitale Souveränität. Speichert ihr Fotos von eurem Mobiltelefon in der Cloud? Nutzt ihr einen Kalender, benötigt ihr eine Notizen-App, würdet gerne eine Alternative zu Microsoft nutzen? Das gibt es alles mit dem Betriebssystem des #nas dazu.
Klingt das interessant für Euch? Gerne gebe ich meine Erfahrungen und mein Wissen dzu weiter.
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.
