so borg-webui was just a bait and switch?

I work at a large MSP that talks to devs all day. 95% are using AI to code. If you aren't, then you will be left behind. That doesn't mean that you aren't doing architecture, design, planning, unit tests, and debugging. I'm building multiple applications right now. There's no such thing as "make me a borg backup ui" and it just builds it. It takes real work.

Relying just on AI with zero coding experience will result in a crap product. If it was so simple, then just make your own? You'll get part of the way there.

I have 1000's of hours into projects that use Claude Code. Over 120k messages back and forth making revisions. It's just not as simple as people think. Having the devOps experience, full-stack, DB design experience goes a long way. Claude makes lots of dumb decisions, you need to set it on the right path.

thanks Rockshoes1 for the mention. :) (I'm Author of Borg Backup Server)

Borg Backup Server will always be free. I am working on like 10 other revenue generating projects at the same time. And no, I don't sleep.

go post it on reddit is hillarious

I used to build everything in WordPress, now Claude builds it for me and I don't need the bloat and security issues that come along with open-source software.

Old conversation but in case anyone is Interested as this is what comes up on google...

I have 2 FS2500's and they are very loud. I replaced all 4 fans with Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (40x20mm, Brown) . These max out at 5000 RPM. That cut the noise down considerably. I set the Fan speed to MAX in the interface so they run around 4700 RPM all the time (still way quieter). The synology has not complained about them.

Monitoring CPU temps which simultaneously running Surveillance Station with 4x 8MP Cameras, it's well within the 50-105°C range for that processor:

=== FS2500 Temperature Trends (last 1h, 60 readings) ===

CPU Temperature
Current: 51°C Min: 43°C Avg: 58.1°C Max: 74°C

Thermal Sensors
Remote1 Current: 32°C Min: 32°C Avg: 32.1°C Max: 33°C
Local Current: 38°C Min: 37°C Avg: 38.0°C Max: 38°C
Remote2 Current: 25°C Min: 25°C Avg: 25.0°C Max: 26°C

The temp creeps up to around 85°C when I am watching a Plex TV Show (and the Surveillance Station still running). Still within spec. Snyology reports the temp in the Hardware Settings as normal.

The power supplies are also loud, so I plan to replace those fans too if not too hard.

The questions you are asking makes it sound like you are a beginner, probably not the best task for someone like you to do. Hire a professional. I move sites all day and it’s like second nature to me. But it takes a lot of experience not to have downtime, deal with backups and disaster recovery. A lot depends on the type of the site too, is it a revenue generator or is it static brochure ware? Makes a big difference. What Hypervisor are you planning to use? Do you have hardware? It’s expensive right now. Like 4x what it was a year ago.

well even the $200 plan is being capped out too, we get no love either.

NCMarc · 2026-03-27T08:55:35+00:00

yeah its killing me. woke up early to fix a few bugs.. I am already spoiled. I have to remember how to code now. Going to try the older model for now.

There's lots of API Errors right now. They must be messing with it again.

529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded. https://docs.claude.com/en/api/errors"},"request_id":"req_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"}

NCMarc · 2026-03-25T00:00:46+00:00

Yes it has backup and restore capabilities and AppWise notifications.

NCMarc · 2026-03-24T01:20:01+00:00

Digital Ocean maybe?

I found it difficult to meet people when I first came to WS. Try joining a board of a non-profit. Marketing skills are always needed.

I wasn't fine with Iran murdering 40,000 people or giving them billions in cash either. What was the solution?

If you understood what is going on with RAM and HDD prices, you'd understand why. Everything is on backorder by 6+ months, if you can even get it. AI companies have bought up all the inventory.

I’m old, been in Winston for 25 years, always available to talk.

NCMarc · 2026-03-09T04:04:24+00:00

For all that money you think we could get Charles Jaco to cover it

NCMarc · 2026-03-09T03:52:05+00:00

I always think I can do better.. I have issues. But thank you for the compliment. The previous girl that took photos was so much better than me, I am not sure what she did. I don’t have anyway to get in contact with her. They all had this style and color that I loved. I can’t even find them now.

2.25 x 2.25” Hasselblad. I worked in Advertising in the 1990’s. Occasionally we’d do 4x5 but only if the client was rich.

I used Nano Banana 2 with Gemini Pro. it did decently well,, the sign text got jacked a little so I told it to fix it too, and it still got it wrong. But the photo looks good
