How to use Synology Drive as a Google Drive alternative (www.androidpolice.com)

Google Drive is great for storing files in the cloud, accessing them when needed, and collaborating with a team. However, the internet isn't always reliable and can cause issues when accessing files. In such cases, you need an offline solution, and Synology may have the best options. Synology has awesome NAS enclosures. Its...

If I need something when I'm roaming about, my ssh bastion has the nas mounted.

Marketing ruined the Internet. This wasn't a problem before the eternal September.

If you interacted with an ATM in the 90's - 2000's it was likely running OS/2. It was superior to windows, but lost in the end. Many of the concepts of the workplace shell were ahead of other DEs even today. KDE initiallly borrowed a lot from the wps.

Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up?

I currently have two computers, one that has a big zfs raidz pool that I currently back everything up to. Right now, on my local computer I use rsnapshot to do snapshot backups via rsync to the remote zfs pool. I know I'm wasting a ton of space because I have snapshotting in the rsync backup, and then the zfs pool is snapshotted...

That is rsync.net's entire business model.

I still rclone my Borg repos there instead of relying on snapshots though.

It works the same either way. Borg does a lot of different backups on my home network. I also have more than just Borg backups that I want off-site, so an rclone of everything from that nas share once after everything else is done makes more sense than duplicating Borg everywhere. The rclone'd stuff can be used directly just like if it was put there by Borg itself.

There was nothing that came of that because they were let off the hook with a slap on the wrist when Republicans took over the government.

    If you don't want to share information on a public forum, then don't.

    Not always. Only for-profit driven companies that offer no tangible product.

    Many of the forums that I hosted were free to the orgs that used them. I'm already paying for the server and network for my own use, so why not give back to the communities that I am a part of with my other skills as a sysadmin?

    But they killed APIs entirely for nsfw, so that is broken now too.

    This is why ad blockers should always be used. Small devs don't have relationships with advertisers or control over what ad networks will do.

    Or you can pay once and be done with them. I think the price of a burger is not a big ask for something you use every day.

    I do both.

    To be truly effective you must also block DoH and DoT. The first can only be done with endpoint lists, since it is https.

    I have a few of them. Not bad with projectivy launcher. I added wired Ethernet, storage, and audio out with otg cables.

    usenet and irc were 'the fediverse' before it became trendy.
