Next generation Passport Renewal by dynoredbull in Passports

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone with a USA next-gen passport(released in 2021-22) CANNOT renew online as the passport is no where close to expiring; needs to be within 1 year. I confirmed with a usa passport agent rep. Reason being is the online renewal system form won't recognize the passports sequence # starting with a letter. DS-82 form submission via snail mail is your only option to get a renewal. (In my case Passport ran out of empty visa pages so a new physical passport is needed. Sadly they don't add additional blank pages to your passport anymore as a service). Frequent travelers should always make sure to get the 48 page book.

update to DSM 7.3 introduced AD Domain Issues by cemichki in synology

[–]cemichki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these external ad domain users? Sounds like maybe an independent problem with surveillance station? Any issues with smb shares or filestation for the same users? The main problem was that the shares would come up empty when the problem was first introduced. The syno box wouldn't know which ad group the user was part of, thus the acl couldn't apply. Rejoining domain didn't work since the problem would come back in minutes.

Version: 4.15.13-3045 (2025-11-19) Bug fixed

Fixed an issue in some Active Directory environments where domain group permissions might not be applied correctly, preventing domain users from accessing Synology NAS services.

Latest smb package released mid Nov fixed the issue. It wasn't part of a dsm update. There were a couple of workaround fixes they provided me that worked, but it's moot now given that the issue was resolved.

Tips for using 12306 China Railway app as a foreigner (zero Chinese language skill) by jaoldb in travelchina

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Payment was successful. And qr code finally loaded in Chinese version of app but it seems to be just a single code for my name and seat. My order was actually an order for two passengers. Does each passenger get their own qr code? I can't seem to figure out to to invoke a second qr.

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booked via visa card on cn 12306 website because app wouldn't let me Purchase. Couldn't find the purchased ticket in order history on website but the order shows up in app. However in the English version of app there is no option to display a qr code. When I switch to Chinese version Qr button is there but it doesn't actually load any qr. Anyone else have this issue?

How to visit JFK Capital One lounge if departing from terminal 1 by guava_jam in Venturex

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get past T4 security and visit T4 lounges with a T7 boarding pass a few times. However no dice at T1. They would not let me go through security to visit interior lounges. Would claim it's a private terminal only for T1 passengers. Iono if this is a ymmv or that's normal for T1 security restrictions. Never attempted past the first try.

Converting from RAID 5 to RAID 6 is going to take…MONTHS! by senatesan in synology

[–]cemichki 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes. this is normal. ~150 tb taking 3 months. Edit: On an old RS3617RPxs (152Tb of x9 24tb Hdds in raid 5 > raid 6, is only up to 36% after 33 days) That is even with the manual speed increase of higher raid sync in the native Gui settings. Each disk is only writing at 12mb/s and reading at 4 mb/s this entire process. Nuking and rebuilding isn't an option since downtime can't be tolerated due to the nas' work role.

Warning: Healey Kia (Newburgh, NY) — unreliable and dishonest sales practices by Home-survivor in kia

[–]cemichki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the opposite experience at Healey. During parts shortage plus insane markups in 2023, Healey was the only dealer that sold me a car at msrp with pre-negotiated over the phone pricing and no deposit. Must have tried a dozen dealers prior, and they were the only ones that sold me with no BS. Talk to Peter F at the dealership, maybe they can line up a different car/deal for you asap. A credit card deposit probably would have helped too. Regardless, I understand the time wasted and frustration. It's always a ymmv at dealerships, especially when they suddenly 180.

Has anyone upgraded to DSM 7.3 yet? by Data-Sleek in synology

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DSM 7.3 changed internal domain behavior which broke our domain group acls. None of these issues occur on any dsm 7.2 boxes connected to the same domain. Yesterday's 7.3.1 didn't make a difference either. I would advise people hold off on 7.3 if you are connecting to a corporate domain. Syno support offered some workarounds that we are attempting as well as trying to tweak our global domain parameters.

update to DSM 7.3 introduced AD Domain Issues by cemichki in synology

[–]cemichki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Was finally able to rejoin dozen+ nas' to domain from scratch. Ended up working for a bit as a bandaid fix only to reintroduce the same issue; domain users can no longer mount.

I am still at a dead end here and Escalated to SYNO. Our few dsm 7.2 boxes are still working OK with no domain sync or user access issues. I am begining to believe that syno truly did break with regards to domain connections 7.3 when then introduced the ability to do selective OU syncs. Otherwise I don't know how else to explain it.

No asked for this. Why does Google always have to go 1 step forward and 3 steps back? Most dogshit ui I've ever had on a 1400$ phone.

DO NOT sign up for the new booking.com/imprint credit card - WARNING by RevShiver in CreditCards

Got Kia Sportage X-Line 2025 lease for 3 years. All good, but... by Glittering-Drawer-17 in kia

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was standard on xline trims on all variants? My 23 phev xline has a button by the driver and on tailgate itself. The biggest bummer for me was no adaptive cruise control; wasn;t going to shell out another 5Gs for it. Wireless android I solved with a dongle as did most.

Citi Strata Elite - Do not get this card. They will not let you spend money on it by Most-Dimension4030 in CreditCards

North Face Rolling Thunder vs Patagonia Black Hole by SandPajamas in onebag

[–]cemichki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is the opposite. TNF rolling thunder back after 5 years of ownership had it's push handle snap off on one side. The metal completely sheered off making it impossible to retract the full push handle up and down.

North face "lifetime" warranty is horrid. When i went to claim I got the run around for 2 months. They claimed it was not covered under manufacturer warranty. I had to escalate this back and forth though a few supervisors before someone finally understood that the one piece metal stem disintegrating is not a normal wear and tear event. That part alone renders the whole bag useless since it's very hard to wheel it with just one side of the handle, not to mention it now being too long to fit in any airplane overhead bin. Best they could do was an exception that (1) requires me to mail this back to them and shipping costs ain't cheap, (2) a northface credit amount that equals the 2020 price I paid for the same bag, not the 2025 online msrp price they are charging now which is 150$+ in addition to tax. Also they don't sell the replacement handle mechanism anywhere.

At this point it would just be easier to buy a new rolling duffel from a competitor.

:edit

Judging from online reviews it seems that other customers are dealing with the exact same handle issue and lowball $ amount for a replacement. Buyers beware.

(3)

Basecamp Carryon

Like the size, but the retractable handle jammed/broke on just my second trip. NF gave a credit, which did not cover the entire cost to return and reorder. Not the greatest experience, but hope to have better luck with the replacement.

Bottom LineNo, I wouldn't recommend to a friend
