  • A hard disk uses spinning magnetic disks to store data.

    An SSD uses flash memory to store data.

    Since it doesn't have moving parts, it can access the data faster and with fewer parts.

    At current prices an SSD is more expensive for the same size storage, but most people don't need 10TB on their laptop.

  • I hope they have a good use for it. I'd love to see them utilize the name to try to de-radicalize folks.

    The Onion seems to have gotten a new life after they were bought, so maybe they'll go the Cards Against Humanity route and start to push things in a better direction.

  • Pritzker has been very outspoken about defying national orders, and even protecting the vulnerable in other states.

    I'm not surprised he's leading the charge.

    I thought he was going to be another shit governor in a long line of shitty Illinois governors, but this guy is knocking it out of the park.

  • FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

    7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

    If you're running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you'll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can't use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can't use the synology package manager to update.

    The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

  • If you're running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to "default on" or "default off" after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

  • Oof, that's a lot of juice.

    I'm running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that's only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don't have data to back that up.

    I'd like to upgrade a few things, but I'm really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.
