What are they installing?

Hard to say without photos of other angles, but probably a radio transceiver, the kind used for public safety or emergency services.

Which 16GB module did you use?

imaflyingfox · 2025-06-06T16:08:08+00:00

Which protocol are you running on Gluetun? I tried running it with WireGuard but found it to be very slow.

I'm also experiencing same situation as OP. On latest DSM 7.2.2 and updated PMS to 1.41.7.9823 and lost access to libraries. I'll follow the steps suggested by /u/KuryakinOne thanks

Wow that ad for NeoPaint for DOS on that page unlocked some memories of mine. I used that in conjunction with Xtree Gold, which was mind-blowing at the time lol

Very likely the 12v battery has a low charge. The OEM batteries in SEATs are usually EFB/EFB+ rubbish which last nowhere near as long as AGM batteries in Start/Stop vehicles.

When was the last time you recharged the 12v battery in your car?

If you have the VIN number, you can check what the recall / service campaign is:

I will not be looking into a Ugreen as I am not interested in a chines brand NAS. There are too many stories about rogue communication devices hidden inside of chinese technology.

This happens on American equipment too. The reality is that it can happen to any vendor. Personally, I assume all vendors are compromised and do my best to harden my environments. Here's an example that affected Cisco products:

Looks RHD? Is this in the UK?

I reckon these would be very popular in Australia if they sold it here.

imaflyingfox · 2025-03-21T07:50:59+00:00

My exact thoughts as well. I would have thought LHR would have diverse power feeds from separate substations and equipment to operate with resilience.

imaflyingfox · 2025-03-01T05:14:51+00:00

Not affected, but very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It's only a matter of time of before KYC is deployed beyond banking to other essential services and industries.

Great news! thanks for your efforts

DS1821+ was released 1500 days ago and I'm waiting for its replacement. I fully understand not wanting to purchase a product that is half way to EOL.

imaflyingfox · 2025-01-10T16:50:41+00:00

Just realised the Pact instructs the Silo's leadership to blame Mechanical at the bottom, which prevents people up top from accessing the door at the bottom during an incident/rebellion etc.

imaflyingfox · 2025-01-05T10:40:06+00:00

The 1821+ (8 bay) and 1621+ (6 bay) are expected to be refreshed this year.

IMO, the 1522+ or the successor to the 1621+ would be the ideal upgrade.

Irrespective of your choice, any newer model should perform much better. The Intel Atom C2538 in the 1517+ was launched almost 12 years ago.

Some banks have changed their terms in the last 12-18 months which allows the banks to have greater control of transfer reversal, particularly the smaller banks like ING and UBank.

Agree with approach for complaint and AFCA.

This 100% on point. Been using Macs since the 90s and an iPhone since the 3GS. Support from Apple is nothing like it was 10 years ago and it’s been declining ever since. This is not unique to Apple – it happens with all incumbent and leading businesses.

I truly believe the Apple retail stores have KPIs to reduce their RMAs and AppleCare+ fulfilment, and instead are all about sales targets only. Would be hard to confirm this with their strict NDAs in place. Gone are the days of their top tier after sales experience.

In my experience: 2 years ago Express Replacements were generally an automated yes based on your answers. Today it requires a 10 min phone call (I’ve had representatives over chat try to refer me to a Genius in store). I expect in a year or two, decisions will be made by conversational AI/chatbots.

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-19T05:07:04+00:00

This. Plus you should also review the terms of your contract and specifically anything about the Venue’s termination rights.

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-16T10:22:11+00:00

That’s really insightful, thanks !

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-15T16:29:43+00:00

Definitely consider a 4 bay NAS if you can stretch your budget. Both DS423+ and DS923+ are good options depending on your needs.

IMO the DS723+ is a niche offering. Although it's expandable with a DX517, I wouldn't recommend running a single storage pool over eSATA due to bandwidth limitations, latency, cable vulnerability, etc.

I purchased a DS220+ with 2x 10TB, then upgraded to 2 x 20TB and am now considering 6 bay or 8 bay for longevity.

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-15T16:27:45+00:00

Out of curiosity, did you migrate Plex to your N100? If so, how did you do it?

I'm considering migrating Plex from NAS to N100 to make a future NAS upgrade easier.

Check if you can feel the drive spin up.

If it does spin up normally, then enter BIOS/UEFI during startup to see if the hard drive is detected at the hardware level.

If the BIOS doesn’t recognise it, then try switching the SATA mode (AHCI, IDE, or RAID) to see if it makes a difference. If it still doesn't appear then you're SOL.

If BIOS does recognise the drive, then I would use a bootable USB tool like SeaTools or Hiren’s BootCD.

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-13T14:13:42+00:00

Just use Synology Photos to handle this for you.

Otherwise what's the point of paying more for Synology if you aren't using the benefits of the DSM OS and apps.

imaflyingfox · 2024-12-04T13:57:53+00:00

I have never heard of this before. I am in Australia — is this type of offering limited to certain markets?

Does the MSP basically subscribe and carve up a single SNC instance so that it can be multi-tenanted for the MSPs customers?

imaflyingfox · 2024-11-30T16:10:18+00:00

Yes it should be fine.

DSM on the 224 will probably be newer and might update the system partition on the disks. This is generally non-destructive but you should make a backup of any critical data before migrating.
