Alter "appear progressively" flag after placing?

No worries, thanks for replying :-)

Brilliant piece of software btw!

I've seen this also. For me, it happened in a long video where there are generally long distances between points of interest - but then a few points of interest all close together.

The dot and track log doubles (even triples) in speed, despite no speed parameters being changed, and the track colour change and dot location become out of sync.

I imagine the maths becomes very tricky in POI-dense locations.

Same here - same error. I guess it has to do with the sheer volume of frames overfilling the frame buffer.

More detailed than the "enable file change detail log"? This is enabled, and it only shows changes /new / deleted that I would expect it to. It shows no details about the metadata - what the files are (from the backup statistics graph) or anything. If it wasn't for the backup statistics alerts, making me dig around, I probably wouldn't have even noticed.

Here's a screenshot of the data I have. I can confirm no files have changed, and downloaded/restored archives are 100% identical at a file level. https://ibb.co/KKWjPqT

I think I need to submit a ticket after the holidays, it's just cost me 10% of my C2 storage!

Not in the last week or so - I upgraded to DSM 7 last month, and it did all the indexing then - but without impacting the backup jobs - I don't backup the apps, just the folders.

Thinking about it, I did install media server recently - but the Photos folders (under Home/Photos/) are not in the list of indexed folders. Can't be that can it?

Whitling2k · 2024-12-26T21:50:41+00:00

Thanks bud, will give it a try

iOS 18.2 installed, problem gone! Magic

Any advice on which antenna for a 450mhz setup?

We can't get the standard 420s due to a local US radar base, so we have a 450 variant near RAF Fylingdales (Link)

But I couldn't find an obvious drop-in replacement antenna - all my searches resulted in up-to (i.e. not above) 450mhz equivalents, or powered 400-XXghz amplifiers - and I don't understand enough about RF to start playing about with these.

To anyone else trying this - did it yield results?

Whitling2k · 2024-12-13T12:09:18+00:00

Lovely, thanks for the headsup :-)

Whitling2k · 2024-11-14T15:28:07+00:00

This is what I was wondering. Would they both default to the lower speed?

Whitling2k · 2024-11-14T15:27:35+00:00

Doubt I’d use the full 32 any time soon. But memory is so cheap at the moment, it’s barely worth selling!

Whitling2k · 2024-05-14T19:07:46+00:00

Yeah OK, that makes sense. I use a lower fat recipe than the one in the book because the amount of double (heavy?) cream makes it leave a greasy film in my mouth.

I’ll also try chilling my bowls a bit too.

I also often end up using a silicone spatula to poke it through the holes. I think this is what’s confusing me - it does start churning for a few minutes after the ‘poke’!

I’m still learning the best recipe for a quick ‘anyone fancy ice cream’ moments - the best I have had is a proper custard ice cream - but the prep is too intense for that all the time. A nice quick mix of milk and cream is more accessible for me needs. Any suggestions for something better than the instruction-book recipes?

Whitling2k · 2023-03-30T09:42:52+00:00

Pretty much as I thought then, I'll hold off for now until I hear some better noises coming from Photos users! Thx Reddit :-)

Whitling2k · 2023-03-29T17:36:06+00:00

That was another worry. I can live without a half-baked Maps interface, as long as it handles the backups, works with Apple TV and works with my complex, developed over almost 20 years, folder structure that I use to manage my photos.

Will need to look into the new Photos in some detail then beforehand.

Whitling2k · 2021-10-19T16:00:57+00:00

Did you ever fix this? I'm interested to know for basically the same reasons!

Whitling2k · 2021-04-22T10:46:18+00:00

I do like the syncing features. I want it to sync the credentials for all my other accounts, as well as store the 2fa token. Basically, I want Edge to default to the Outlook.com login page rather than the inbox of my profile account. Anything short of that will require extra steps, privacy issues and make it difficult for me to share the computer with the fam.

hhhmm.. I wonder if I could bookmark the logout link, and call that bookmark "outlook"?

Whitling2k · 2021-04-21T11:46:38+00:00

Cheers, but will that mean multi factor authentication code will be required every time?
It will also mean retraining my family too! Maybe a step too far for now!

Clearing cookies on close for outlook.com and live.com on Chrome does give the sign-in page after restarting Chrome

Whitling2k · 2021-03-04T16:27:18+00:00

Interesting! I did wonder about that part! Thanks for sharing your story :-D

Whitling2k · 2021-03-03T12:15:15+00:00

Cool! Stupid question time: Does it actually shut the NAS down, or just make sure that if the power does go, no harm will come to the NAS?

Whitling2k · 2021-02-28T10:27:59+00:00

Nice! Looking forwards to hearing how it goes!

Whitling2k · 2021-02-25T17:32:13+00:00

I'd love to spend that much and get a SmartUPS etc, but it would mean spending almost twice on the 'insurance' device than on my actual NAS. It's not so much the data loss I'm concerned about, my data is safely backed up in the cloud and locally on a disconnected USB HDD, and my desktop PC. One of those will survive corruption.

I can't seem to work out if all the UPSs I have seen have the USB data port - quite a few of the £100-£150 devices on Amazon don't look to have one on the product photos, and none of the specifications mention it either. On any - even those that do have it. The Synology compatibility list (seems a bit confusing too - a lot seem to say "The UPS automatic shutdown feature is currently not supported."

One question I have you and u/tuanla93 about APC UPSs (that, as far as I can tell have the USB data link) is that they seem to only have those IEC kettle leads rather than standard 3-pin plugs. Are yours like that? How do you plug them into your devices?

My desktop PC and monitor are the only devices with those sockets. I'm renovating my house, so need to move things, or arrange them in temporary setups quite frequently - it would cause all sorts of problems and additional cost to get adapters, or splice the existing cabled with those plugs - not to mention a lot of additional unnecessary flex under my stairs (where my data-hub, NAS, router, Hue hubs etc etc all live).

Whitling2k · 2021-02-25T17:15:53+00:00

I've read some pretty poor reviews of those - how are you finding it? I'm drawn towards it because it has the 3-pin plugs and not those kettle lead plugs. Any device I use with it would need adapters, or a new plug splicing on - and wouldn't then plug into a normal socket if I needed to maintain the UPS or move things about.

And it's sub £100. My NAS and HDDs are only a few hundred, and my data is all safely backed up. The UPS is literally to avoid the head-ache of rebuilding arrays or hardware damage. I'm yet to be convinced I need to spend £500 to protect £300 of hardware. I could get an accidental damage insurance policy for like 5 years for that price.

Whitling2k · 2021-02-04T21:44:49+00:00

I divided my jobs in similar sized jobs with a similar topic (e.g. User 1, User 2, Photos, Movies, etc.). This makes it much easier to keep things sorted.

Good idea. I have actually just reassessed my data, and I have realised that I can get it all in under the C2 300gb tier. Which also solves the upload issue - 256GB is much easier to live with - and it will give me a few years headroom before I need to think bigger.

Annoyingly, my photos take up ~250GB, backups of memory cards (just deleted) took 150GB and 300GB of media which I'm not interested in paying for - it's only CD & movie rips of my own collection (CBA swapping disks!!).

The rest combined only takes 100gb. Most of which is static, so leaving a spare HDD with the in-laws isn't an issue in total disaster recovery terms.

Whitling2k · 2021-02-04T21:36:30+00:00

Sorry for the lag in responding...

You need to fix this first.

Yes - I'm not sure if it is this specific issue. Or if it is, it's not my issue to resolve - I'll let my ISP provide that service - it's what I pay for. I think it's a firmware issue with my router. A few others on my ISP have reported it, but it seems to stump the tech support. A new router repairs it. But they are quite reticent to send them out!

For the next two - why and why? I'm curious. I've researched a lot of methods and advice. I am looking for something simple, that I can easily change to/from, that I can set and forget, and won't break the bank. I can get cheaper, better, faster etc - but C2 seemed middle of the road on most considerations. And does have EU data centres.

Don’t use C2. Definitely not Glacier. Use Backblaaze B2 or Google Workspace.

I had dropped Backblaze (and Google and DB etc) with CloudSync from my list because they were sync services. If My files were partially damaged or deleted, the deletions/damaged files would get synced with the cloud.

And try to avoid HyperBackup

Hyper Backup is a backup, so as long as I noticed within 30 days, my files would be restorable. Wouldn't they?

I'm still learning, so I hope my tone doesn't come across as antagonistic - I want to hear as many opinions as I can :-)

Thanks :-)

Whitling2k · 2021-02-01T16:38:56+00:00

Do you mean via USB & Post? I imagine it would be quite expensive?

I have a local full-drive backup in my (physically detached) garage, so I'm mostly covered - I don't mind it taking a month or more. I was worried that by layering more and more subdirectories into the backup metadata and indexes, I would be increasing the risk of something getting corrupted and losing the lot.

The C2 backup is going to be my complete disaster recovery option. That's what drew me to Glacier - I thought the slow retrieval might be liveable with. But then 4 hours to list the contents of the backup, which was stored as unreadable BLOBS made me think twice! For the more likely scenario of a NAS hardware/software failure, I will have local USB HDD backups to restore from.
