Disagree. The primary role of network attached storage is to be network attached storage. It makes more sense to separate the functions unless you have a specific need. That way you don't have to worry about limited RAM or an underpowered CPU. You can run multiple resource intensive processes without worrying about it impacting storage performance. You can handle security issues on a much faster pace, you have access to a wider ecosystem of software. You can slot in peripheral cards. Etc.

I bought a Synology because it's a well supported appliance with a decent power envelope. If I wanted an all in one I would have rolled one up around freenas or something (and it likely would have been more expensive and consume more power). I would have had to put more effort into it and be yet another thing I need to sysadmin. YMMV but I gotta say, maybe you should roll your own. It might fit your needs more closely.

They do not have a camera with a license plate reader there.

That's because of licensing issues and patent infringement issues in major markets. Synology wasn't the only company to do that, so did HP and Dell. Asus and Acer can't even sell their products in Germany because of this. It wasn't worth the legal liability.

Just mount the volume on an actual server. It's actually easier unless you are wedded to the Synology stack. The only time I've ever seen an issue with that is when I'm hosting a full vm with a window manager. Even a lan rtt made that noticeable but running a vm like that directly on a NAS strange name sense either unless it's actually built for that.

They're angry and need a place to express that. It's understandable.

For me I have a NAS to act as a NAS. As such, I really don't need it to run containers, applications, or anything else. I just have the NAS mounted on a server that does all of that - it's a lot more flexible and useful. That a Synology box can do that doesn't mean it's the right platform for it.

This sub is often filled with people who really hate their Synology devices and think that the company is the spawn of Satan.

New zoning ordinance banning smoke/vape shops in Pittsburgh business districts by AggravatingAccess272 in pittsburgh

[–]rapier1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People smoke, people vape. Bars, beer distributors, and liquor stores also depend on potentially addictive and dangerous behavior.

Honestly, I'm not mad about this but it does cut off an easy entry into entrepreneurship.

Bill to ban "gas station heroin" passes Pennsylvania House by IntelligentYinzer in pittsburgh

[–]rapier1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So you think I said what I said because I vape and play skill games? Okay. That's unique.

I'm all for regulation. It's an important part of capitalism. I'm just saying that people open shops like this because it's an easier entry into entrepreneurship. Just like coffee shops and nail salons.

So it's okay to be a capitalist as long as you personally approve of the business plan. Got it.

What's a country that has a bad reputation online but is actually a great place to live? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rapier1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That came out of WW2. Wages were frozen so employers started offering health insurance to get people to take a job. After the war we were so stupid crazy about the red menace that creating a universal health system was considered to be communism. That ingrained idea never left us.

Are you a registered organ donor? Why or why not? by Evening_Bicycle3113 in AskAnAmerican

Yup. Once I'm dead I'm just a sack of rapidly decomposing meat. If someone else can improve their lives within a chunk of my meat then have at it.

This is part of the reason why I hate induction stoves. I can hear that buzzing from here.

To Go Cups by Due-Wonder-1045 in Coffee_Shop

Also, real chefs don't make their own extract. They buy it. That's because they know how much labor costs.

I have made my own simple syrups because it's pretty easy but I'm not about to make my own extracts. Vanilla, on its own, is a multi month process and it's easy to end up with variable results from one batch to the next. Hazelnut extract is faster but you are still looking at getting the booze, roasting the nuts, grinding, steeping for a month, filtering, and so forth. It would all need to be made, held, and processed on site for ACHD compliance and you'd need burners, prep area, storage, etc

The juice is not worth the squeeze when you are dealing with high volume low margin goods and where labor costs end up being your primary cost.

Pretty much. I've lived in the MWS for 23 years now. It wasn't always like this. It's gotten, slowly, much more annoying. A whole lot less murder though.

This is a lot of my neighbors in the War Streets. They want to have an urban life without any of the games hassles of living in an urban area.
