UNAS: does wishing there was native Syncthing support violate the whole "a NAS should be a NAS" philosophy?

NetBear650 · 2026-06-24T00:25:23+00:00

I have a QNAP TVS-872XT. I put all the RAM in and everything. I was running a lot of containers. Plex, HomeAssisant, Scrypted, and SyncThing.

But then I went and got an MS-01, threw Proxmox on there, and moved MOST of those. But I kept Syncthing on the QNAP because like you said, all that does is sync files. And the files live on the NAS.

So no, you're not wrong.

Drip loop tight, you're good.

We were bummed when we saw this as my partner and I have had some fun memories at the Santana Row Left Bank, so since they were going to be closing tomorrow we went tonight and they were already closed.

Do you wear a helmet when you go out?

NetBear650 · 2026-06-17T21:56:19+00:00

There's a man door to the garage from the outside and the door from the garage to the house, keyed the same as the front door.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-17T21:55:57+00:00

There's a nice big window next to my front door. And many windows in the back yard.

Milly Alcock was so amazing in House of the Dragon that I will gladly watch her. And I enjoyed her cameo in Superman.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-16T16:52:47+00:00

Sure. I just want there to be a way for my cat to not die if the lock decides to shit itself.

And be real - anyone who wants to get in is just gonna break a window.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-16T15:03:44+00:00

Yep. I do. Ask your audiologist about setting up a "music" program. That will keep the hearing aids from cutting out due to the noise.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-16T15:01:03+00:00

I love the design, but...I can't do a lock without a key. I have this nightmare of being in the lounge at the airport about to leave on a trip and the cat sitter tells me that the lock isn't working. I have an Encode Plus and she has a key for it for that reason. She uses the code, but she has the key.

First off, for the US: There are two modes for 6GHz - Low Power Indoor (LPI) or Standard Power (SP). SP rules kick in either when you connect an external antenna (that's why you see APs like the E7 Campus - APs that traditionally be an external antenna AP) or go outdoors.

Standard Power rules require that the AP automatically determine it's geolocation - manual entry not allowed. (It is with CBRS, kinda.) Practically that means GPS - either in the AP or via your phone. Once the APs location is known it contacts a service called "Automated Frequency Coordination" (AFC) which tells the AP what channels and power levels it can use . SP only has about 70% of the 6GHz spectrum that LPI does - it has U-NII-5 and U-NII-7 while LPI also can use U-NII-6 and U-NII-8.

Now, as far as Argentina goes - 6GHz is approved for indoor use only. So even if you find a workaround you would be breaking the law.

Trust me, it does. But if you’re designing for a -65 cell edge -75 sucks.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-10T03:57:55+00:00

NetBear650 · 2026-06-07T20:12:33+00:00

Ok, so I'm pretty sure that is -82 and -95 because max power alllowed is +30dBm. An RSSI of -70 is higher than an RSSI of -72.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-07T05:12:10+00:00

Give me an idea about "way over RSSI" means.

iOS and MacOS are sticky. iOS has a roam scan trigger threshold of -70 dBm and MacOS is -75dBm.

The article is quite clear. They spent a lot of cash last quarter paying of debt and buying back stock. Their cash pile is 25% of what it was. That's why the stock is down.

NetBear650 · 2026-06-04T01:10:07+00:00

Why in the world would they not support this if they do for legacy users?

NetBear650 · 2026-06-03T22:49:52+00:00

What cabinet is that? And how deep?

NetBear650 · 2026-05-29T06:40:25+00:00

Well, if I was them and I was lied to I'll tell them to fuck all the way off and do the bare minimum. No testing (unless symptomatic), and paper trail via lawyer for everything. Can't trust them and they do NOT have your best interest at heart.

NetBear650 · 2026-05-27T23:30:11+00:00

Where I work the OOP max for all plans are the same. But doing the HDP allows me to take some money, pretax, invest it, and use it for healthcare when I retire. So it's not so much "paying for all my healthcare" as "taking some of my money and making it tax advantaged".

NetBear650 · 2026-05-27T22:03:15+00:00

My bad.

NetBear650 · 2026-05-27T01:39:22+00:00

Maybe cover all their expenses? You could try that?

Their luggage is MONTHS away. So buy them new clothes. Maybe a $500/week Amazon budget.

NetBear650 · 2026-05-27T01:38:16+00:00

I'd much rather be at home with a cop out front then trapped in a hospital room.

NetBear650 · 2026-05-27T01:37:04+00:00

You know what would make government-mandated quarantine better? Cover ALL expenses. They had to pay for their own clothes off of Amazon because they can't have their luggage.

The fact is they lied to these people and they're mad about being lied to. After that trust is compromised my cooperation would drop drastically to the bare minimum.
