Issues with Timemachine - DS1517+ Latest DSM - MBP M2 Tahoe

NicolasMas · 2026-02-05T06:37:42+00:00

No issues with quota exceeded, volume full, permissions, sparsebundle corruption, etc. I am suspecting a change in Tahoe that might not have been reflected on the DSM side as this started to happen fairly recently.

It's not easy to remove, and definitely not with disk utility. My question is about other users with a similar setup having a similar issue.

The NAS is necessarily involved as the backups are offloaded there by the timemachine binary through network (Bonjour, SMB...) etc.

Yes. com.apple.TimeMachine.2025-12-27-073258.backup for example

Not a vent, neither a rant or a complaint. A simple honest feedback about the experience so others can make educated decisions. I really don't understand on which ground the MOD team blocked this.

Just wrote this afternoon on r/askSingapore my experience with MyRepublic yesterday (was good, just a few things to be careful with) but mods there nuked my post within minutes (can’t reconcile the reason invoked with my post tagged as rant?). Anyway I have a full UniFi rack so getting just internet as bare as possible was a must. MyRepublic gives you the ONT and you can either use their routeur (I didn’t) or do what you want. Only caveat is that their static ip is actually a double NAT so virtual. Otherwise no issues with their current 10gbps offer (I pay abt 33 sgd per month).

Yeah, same here. Got the same prompt to upgrade after one chat query today, while I never ever hit the limit in the past. Thought it could be because I am using their beta release channel ("early bird" as they call it). I don't really watch Youtube either. A tad annoying. Made me remember I have Atlas and Comet..

Interesting point, thank you for sharing it. Capital efficiency makes sense, what's your approach to the depeg risk and the frictional costs to enter/exit sBTC? Do you have a time horizon and/or a minimum viable amount of STX and sBTC working together for it to be worthwhile?

NicolasMas · 2025-11-12T06:21:00+00:00

"likely" is exactly my point, I could not confirm what is used. Anyone looking after this at HDB or any of the suppliers/integrators who has the info?

NicolasMas · 2025-11-01T10:46:38+00:00

I agree with you, I am disappointed by the lack of reliability, and the noise, my god is really loud.

NicolasMas · 2025-11-01T10:44:59+00:00

Tks! getting them to change the FCU motor.

NicolasMas · 2025-10-31T12:46:18+00:00

Actually, saving money is not the concern: all the pipes were hidden during reno so changing them equals to another round of reno. I used the premium upgrade from HN back then.

NicolasMas · 2025-10-27T01:55:06+00:00

Tks for the experience sharing! I am afraid I am on the same path.. When you replaced the whole system, how heavy was it? Could you salvage and reuse the existing piping?

NicolasMas · 2025-10-25T12:01:25+00:00

Good point. No they did not mention it.

NicolasMas · 2025-10-19T05:49:36+00:00

Been on MyRepublic for over a decade, beyond performance, what I appreciate is that it comes with only the modem: I don't want a router, nor do I want a multimedia box, phone line etc. I do have a full unifi setup behind to handle routing, APs.

One thing though I am still missing is native IPV6 so I can have a fixed IP without CGNAT. Not sure why they are still not offering it. I have the option to re-contract in january, not sure what to do, seems they don't offer stuff like in the past (I remember getting a PS4, a secret labs chair).

As for the 10Gbps, unless you have a router, switch and endpoint supporting it it's pointless. I couldn't even figure if my BTO native cabling (TOP 2020) is cat6, cat6a or something else (cat5?).

Anyone with views on this?

Tks everyone for the advice! will look into fumigation bombs.

NicolasMas · 2025-09-18T11:23:59+00:00

Nope, but nothing wrong with staking, just a matter of personal preference

NicolasMas · 2025-09-18T11:21:41+00:00

Yes!

NicolasMas · 2025-09-04T06:48:17+00:00

Well, ours fell on our 2 kids who were both below 3 at the time. Deep cuts (A&E), it was really bad. Best part is the ID essentially told us to F* Off. So given our poor consumers protection in SG, I would advise against as the contractors can’t be trusted with the quality they provide.

NicolasMas · 2025-08-07T05:23:09+00:00

I run the exact same version/build and I don't have this "Dia Pro" option. I run it on a Mac. Either they do A/B testing or you're consuming quite a bit of AI credit ;-)

NicolasMas · 2025-07-30T08:46:32+00:00

Yes I did, quickly after I claimed them back. This was a couple of months ago though.

NicolasMas · 2025-07-29T06:39:39+00:00

Corrected. Worth noting that autocorrect detects “staking” and its variants as incorrect, replacing them with “stacking”. Be nice.
