stephen ryner jr. 🦉Think it’s time to leave Synology. First, the two-step login process I loathe (“Enter your username. Oh! Enter your password.”) Now it emails a verification code. For a disk array. In my closet.
As an extra “fuck you” I can pull the drives from the Synology and stuff them into the new server lol. They’re pretty small, though. Might just smash them with a hammer and give the enclosure away.
Hmm, I don’t really need a NAS. Maybe OWC ThunderBay 4 or QNAP TR-004 attached to the Mac mini would be fine. Certainly faster.
Jacob VO@nuthatch unsolicited advice:
In the before times, I bought this guy and am pretty happy with it. https://a.co/d/0hQKFPnv
Maybe less practical given nvme ssds are super expensive but an option.
Ken McLeod@nuthatch My "NAS" is a 4-bay OWC Raid enclosure hanging off a Mac mini. My backup solution is a shell script on each machine that invokes rsync over ssh.
@_the_cloud I am learning in that direction. QNAP is cheaper but I’m a long-time fan of OWC.
Jurgis Kirsakmens@nuthatch I think my next NAS will be my old Mini with all my old spining disks attached.
