What did you do on your Synology NAS today?

[RonV42]

It's the 3rd Sunday of the new year. Data Scrubbing time.

 

[Tedster]

Spent most of the day hating on Synology!

Why? Well, I bought a WD Elements drive to back up all of my NAS folder contents to.
I created duplicate named folders on the Elements and copied all of the contents to them. Using File Station on my NAS.

Great. Except it isn't great, for some reason it created over 100,000 files with a ._ prefix spread all over the Elements drive. Mostly about 242 bytes each.

So they'd be the same name as existing files but ._filename.mp3

Why? WTF?

Grrr.

So it's too early to do taxes, and we're snowed in, so other than Internet shopping we're not going anywhere... other than the occasional snow shoveling and salt spreading... on driveway... We might try tamping snow down with all wheel drive SUV later today....
So figured it's been a year Plus since I did any Security camera footage and picture examinations, I'm about 6-8 months late in exams....
Video files cleanup is relegated to SS.... and it is doing a fine job...
Picture files (ftp) cleanup however is relegated to multiple Timed Script Files, one for each camera (written by someone else -- that I did a Family VHS tape to DVD Authoring job), and these Timed Script Files execute in middle of night.... Each camera has different settings, based upon the activity of the camera (Including Spider visits). First implemented 3 years ago, and revised 2.5 years ago..... Other than an occasional visit to copy off animal visit pictures and videos.... it pretty much sits there running on it's own....

Examination yesterday: Totally Un-Eventful! Machine is truly smarter than Operator!

 

[Coop777]

Configured a secondary Pi-Hole server via Portainer/docker....

 

[itsjasper]

Deployed Sonatype Nexus Repo Manager & IQ Server in Docker, building a proof of concept environment for a work client.

 

[Rusty]

Added some more DDR3 ECC RAM to second RS unit.

 

[Tedster]

Sourced another 8GB stick of DDR3 1600L ram for my 1515+ to bring it up to 16GB.

I had an 8 + 4 in before but it bugged me having mismatched sticks.

 

[Suburban Nerd]

I upgraded the RAM in my 920+ with Crucial 16GB.

 

[Akira]

Rolled back to Docker Compose 2.2.3 from docker 2.3.*

 

[Jan Janowski]

May I ask what model number you ordered?

 

[Suburban Nerd]

May I ask what model number you ordered?

Hi Jan,

I'm not sure if you were asking me, but I ordered Crucial CT16G4SFD8266 from Amazon for $89.99. It seemed to be out of stock everywhere else, including Crucial.

ThanksVery much!

Had a go with Synology's "Active Back-up for Business".
Last time I tried it it was a train wreck. The installer wanted half a gig of dubious downloads from M$ before it would even run.
Now, it seems, those "dubious downloads" are already built into Windows. So the install was a breeze.

The process seems to work really well. It pegs my elderly 1515+ at nearly 100% CPU usage though, when doing a back-up.
But, good job Synology, for a change!

The process seems to work really well

How did your restore go?

 

[Tedster]

Ha! I've not tried that yet. I'm going to have a go with a spare machine later!

 

[Rusty]

Trying to get access to all of the 3TB external drive space over a caddy that is 15y old. Still loosing the battle

 

[marco]

Reorganized the music folder structure programmatically

 

[Tedster]

Took it to the shed and blew out all of the dust with the air line.

Finally, a reasonable and valid excuse to wear a face mask!

 

[fredbert]

Took it to the shed and blew out all of the dust with the air line.

Which one? BA, United, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet etc etc etc

Took it to the shed and blew out all of the dust

When we take sumpin' “to the shed” out here... it's cuz they deserve a whupping

That does generally shake out the dust.
