Cassander

After GOG pulled their "site closure" bullshit in 2010 I made a point to download an offline copy of every game I owned.

It's, uh, more than I expected:

Some of that volume of data is from multiple copies of a single game. For example, I bought Baldur's Gate 3 when it was first announced in 2020, and I've preserved all the various versions that I've downloaded.

And since it's GOG, they're all DRM-free.

@drsbaitso I recognize the synology NAS UI. How's it working for you?

@moar_powah I've been happy enough with them. This is my second one. I retired the first one ~7 years ago. It was fine, just showing its age and less drive bays. My current one is a DS1019+, and I've had zero issues with it.

I only use it for data storage; no heavy CPU/memory usage. I offload that to other devices 🤷🏻‍♂️

Given their shenanigans with drive restrictions, I probably wouldn't buy them again and would instead build my own TrueNAS or something else. But they've been perfectly fine for over decade now, so I haven't been in a hurry to replace them.

@drsbaitso I got DS420+ here and I hold the same opinions. NFS server is it's main function with raspberry pis doing the compute. It was expensive, but building /everything/ myself does get old fast.
