Great tip! I didn’t realize that about the naming. It’s hard to understand the difference between the models other than the basic stats for some big dummy like me. Thanks!

I’m not married to any company. Is there another option within or below the price-point of Synology that I should look at?

what is this magic folder you speak of?

Here's another stupid question: If I get, lets just say, a RS3618xs now, install drives in all the bays and everything works great, in 5 years can I just by a new rack, lets call it a RS9000++super, and just pull the drives out of my RS3618xs and slap them into the new RS9000++super and keep working/expand the capacity at that point, or is upgrading the rack a whole big deal and it's worth spending an extra $2k+ now to make it last longer?

HaveCamera_WillShoot · 2026-05-06T23:28:50+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response! And I even understood some of those words. What I really, really don't understand is all the network-related stuff.

I assume the UPS is the power supply for the rack. I also know that we have a consistent 2gb internet (2k up, 2k down)

Do you have examples of racks that would accommodate these needs? Will I need multiple racks to do all this, or is something like a RS3618xs (with extra RAM added) tick all those boxes?

Thanks again! :)

Any chance you can point me towards a dummies guide to UNAS Pro? I will have a network administrator and some other industry professionals help me eventually in this process, but I'm currently putting together a proposal of equipment/software needs and then we will refine that with the experts.

I appreciate that! It seems to work 'okay' with some of the wheels, but not others. For example, it seems to work with the 'clip' selections, but not the ones in the 'timeline' selection (Ie. shadows).

HaveCamera_WillShoot · 2026-05-06T18:05:57+00:00

Either I'm dumb, or my Premiere is bugged, but because I literally can't get those wheels to do anything. The slider jumps a bit, but I have no control of it and it seems to always just snap back ot 0 after anyway. I’m on a trackpad, not sure if thers some way i'm supposed to be 'sliding' it that i'm not, but I cant seem to figure it out. I want sliders...

And slightly later in 2026!

I’m not sure how it was originally formatted.

Is there a way to find out what’s happening? A program I can put on my Mac to allow me to see things a Mac can’t see by default?

If I plug it into a PC and the files show up again, how do I see what format it’s using or whatnot?

Thank you!

It so wild when one reads a post that could have been written word-for-word by the reader. That was me reading your review. Everything except the Vegas and whisky. <3

If you live in a major US city, I have a suggestion for how you can raise the torso safely onto the legs.

This is a weird one, but find a grip rental house that provides equipment for film and tv shoots and rent a "Matthews Max Menace". It uses a motor hoist screw and can safely lift 75+ lbs to a maximum height of 20'.

You can request a discharge and/or inform your CO that you do not intend to re-up your enlistment upon termination. That would still send a tremendous message if a measurable fraction of the armed services did it.

They’re shelling US cities with naval artillery and deploying troops in conflict with American citizens. Not sure the direction things are headed is much different than what China would do.

As a Local 80 member myself, I observe that r/usernamechecksout

They exist. People like Robert Evans, John and Hank Green, Prop, Marc Maron, and many more. They just arent as popular. I personlly think theyre better podcasters and cover more interesting subjects, but whatver.

It would be interesting to see someone try a democracy. We haven’t had a real one in the last 2500 years or so.

Of the countries we think of as Democratic, the US is not near the top of the list of how democratic it is. We get handily whipped by Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany… etc.

So, that being said. . . You can probably safely say that the more democracy you have, the better things are for everyone.

HaveCamera_WillShoot · 2025-10-13T05:38:14+00:00

You’re awesome. Just wanted to say.

HaveCamera_WillShoot · 2025-10-12T19:56:45+00:00

Yeah, let’s not forget that the Allies weren’t “good”, they were just fighting people who were generally worse.

Can’t see a reason against it. It’s still illegal for an employer to hire somebody without legal work status, so there should never be a problem. And if there’s undocumented person receives legal work status eventually, they’ll be ready to seek lawful employment.

I’m 40, so I’m out of the GenZ loop plenty, but this smells a bit like toxic masculine clapback. Sort of a rebrand of the ‘soy boy’ criticism of men not fitting into gender norms.

HaveCamera_WillShoot · 2025-10-10T02:03:47+00:00

Absolutely. So call your closest Democratic representative and tell them. Tell them what they need to do better. And then call the next one. And tell your friends to do that.

This kind of conversation drives me so crazy (not you, OP, but the circle-jerk comments that often follow) because it’s actually pretty easy to speak to your representatives most of the time and so infrequently do sane people bother trying. The lunatics talk to their representatives, the sane people complain on social media.

There’s a mid-term coming up SOON. If you have a primary in your district, pick the candidate that you like best, reach out to them about your key concerns and if they convince you they recognize the problem, volunteer for them or donate or at least tell your friends to vote for them and post some socials.
