Actualicé la versión de mi #PaperLess a la versión #NGX en mi #Synology #NAS. Ahora el mantener mi hemeroteca digital es mucho más sencillo, rápida de usar, y todo desde el #iPadPro, que es mi instrumento principal de investigación y lectura.

The old "protecting customers from themselves" chestnut never dies... Synology, welcome to my vendor blacklist. It's a small club and now you're in it. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/synology-confirms-need-for-synology-branded-drives-in-newer-plus-series-nas/ #synology #enshittification

In what can only be described as a "dick move" and a "money grab", #Synology arbitrarily locks down features to "Synology" branded drives. The drives are perfectly normal drives from common drive vendors with custom firmware that acts as DRM system.

"Synology confirms that higher-end NAS products will require its branded drives"

Tonight I moved my Obsidian notes, which have become quite extensive, to my Synology NAS and syncing via Synology Drive across my devices. Let's see how this goes. My notes are my life, so this better not mess anything up!

Another Synology Drive data loss bug

Sometimes Synology Drive Client just stops synchronizing files down from the server without telling you that there's anything wrong. This is bad.

Geht #Synology den Weg der #Druckerhersteller?

Die Firma beschränkt künftig die Kompatibilität seiner neuen #NAS-Modelle der Plus-Serie auf eigene oder zertifizierte #Festplatten.

Funktionen wie #Deduplizierung und automatische #Firmware-Updates sind nur mit diesen nutzbar. Nutzer*innen müssen mit höheren Kosten rechnen, erhalten laut Synology jedoch mehr Systemstabilität und Support. Geräte vor 2025 sind von der Änderung größtenteils ausgenommen.

NAS Synology : les modèles Plus de 2025 n’accepteront plus n’importe quel disque dur ! https://www.it-connect.fr/nas-synology-les-modeles-plus-de-2025-naccepteront-plus-nimporte-quel-disque-dur/ #Matériel #Synology #NAS

Wanted to try get an upstream Linux kernel booting on a #Synology DS118 (#Realtek RTD1296 SoC), but not having much luck. Not even seeing any earlycon output so far.

Some patches for a DS418 (very similar board) seem to have made it upstream, but I wonder if platform support is just incomplete or something.

Dienstag ist #DNIPBriefing-Tag. Mit den Geschichten, die uns bei #DNIP bewegt oder zum Nachdenken angeregt haben.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Unabhängigkeit von der erratischen USA ist, die Daten zu Hause zu speichern, auf einem NAS. Davon möchte auch NAS-Hersteller #Synology profitieren. Einige der Funktionen sollen zukünftig nur noch mit von ihm gebrandeten Festplatten möglich sein. Aber dafür gibt es keinen technischen Grund, denn alte Platten funktionieren weiterhin.

Synology 收緊 NAS 硬碟要求　非認證硬碟或失去部分功能
Synology 在 NAS 市場擁有一定的佔有率，不過最近他們就宣佈今年開始的新產品將會加入第三方硬碟限制，如果不使用獲認證（主要是自家品牌）的硬碟，則無法獲得全面的功能支援。

I never thought I’d live long enough to see DRM’d hard disk drives.
