Anyone 'regret' coming from another NAS ecosystem - and going to ugreen ugos?

No remorse so far with DXP4800+ (2024 kickstarter $420) coming from coming Synology DS107e (2007 $200), DS410 (2011 $500), DS218+ (2019 $250). Synology was getting too expensive and not enough HW for their pricing.

Best, most basic Mac Mini to host Channels server?

I have a Synology 218+, but I came across this post on here a few weeks ago because I was having the same issues the OP in that post described; most everyone who replied suggested that their Mac Minis either fixed the issue or the issue one at all for them. So I am just looking...

Kaufberatung: Fotosicherung & KI-Gesichtserkennung – NAS oder Software-Lösung am PC?

Ich hab ein NAS von Synology (DS218+). Die integrierte Foto App macht genau das, was du beschreibst. Gesichts- und Objekterkennung, lokal. Und wenn die Foto App auf dem Handy installiert ist, werden geschossene Bilder automatisch hochgeladen. Eigentlich genau das, was du willst. Wählst du auch eine

DicoverLastFM - Automatic music discovery for Plex using Last.fm data

Hey, glad you like it! Yeah exactly, you'll need Headphones first. It's the missing piece that actually downloads the music. Your Synology + Plex setup is perfect, and the DS220j should handle it fine. I'm running everything on a DS218+ so you've got plenty of resources. The flow is: DiscoveryLastFM

Terramaster D4-320 vs Synology DS218+

Neither. Neither one of them are servers. They're both Network Attached Storage devices. Both of them have dog shit processors, the Terramaster with a Asmedia SoC, the Synology with a nearly decade old bottom of the barrel Celeron. (Seriously, the J3355 in the 218+ was released in 2016. It has a tot

Synology to QNAP

I went from a DS218+ to a TS-664 (was waiting on the 923+ from Synology and that crapped out). I've been pretty happy with it and the 664 was better hardware specs and more storage space for less money. I left existing data on my 218+ and built 664 from new drives and just transferred data over via

"Nas" con Raspberry

Io attualmente ho un Nas Synology 218+ che uso come archiviazione di rete e per qualche container docker, nonostante la vecchiaia funziona senza perdere un colpo. Con la nuova politica sugli hdd non so se consiglierei nuovamente Synology, ma a livello di funzionalità e semplicità di impostazione è v

Share Your Setup – Be Featured on the Emby Blog

I’m running Emby on my Synology DS218+ with two 14TB hard drives (28TB total). The DS218+ handles everything I throw at it thanks to its solid Intel Celeron CPU and 6GB RAM. Most of my family and friends stream from Android TV devices and Windows PCs, with the occasional phone or tablet. What I real

HowTo install on Synology

IcI assume you have a older version of a Synology NAS. Those do not work with AVX which is needed to Maschine Learning. Have the same problem with my DS218+

Must be nice

My case scenario was different tho. I am CGNATED yes, but I do have an IPv6 ready connection, aside from that, my tailnet was never flagged as DERP, I think the main culprit was the encryption protocol that TS enforces, and that it does run in userspace in my two TS exit nodes (a Synology NAS DS218+
