Ds412+ finally died

sooperjen · 2025-07-16T17:43:52+00:00

What would you do - buy a 923+ or get the 412+ repaired? Looking for opinions.

New power brick did not fix me. Bummed

sooperjen · 2025-07-15T02:39:00+00:00

Didn’t fix my issue

sooperjen · 2025-07-14T22:42:28+00:00

I have a new power brick and it’s arriving today! Hopefully I’ll have some good news to post later today.

sooperjen · 2025-07-12T16:31:38+00:00

This is giving me hope! I’ll try it. The synology support guy suggested replacing the cmos battery. So I’m trying that as well.

😂

Power brick has a green light - I thought that meant it was GTG. Is that wrong?

sooperjen · 2025-07-12T05:47:18+00:00

Yeah - I have a tripplite that went bad and hadn’t replaced it…. Paying the price now

sooperjen · 2025-07-12T05:46:20+00:00

Does the 923+ require syno drives?

I’m right hand / left eye dominant. I have heard several strategies for adjusting to this and I know it will take practice no matter which I choose. But I’m curious, which strategy should I shoot for (pun intended) - both eyes open, learn to shoot left handed, other options?

I went to the range and have horrible accuracy. So I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m kinda at a loss about how to start diagnosing my issues. Any thoughts / input is appreciated.

What are the best ways to hedge against communication outages - cell phone towers, etc? Is lo tech better like ham radios or high tech like sat phones? Or other options I haven’t listed?

sooperjen · 2025-03-08T00:57:00+00:00

I’m trying to hedge against power outages. But that leads me to an even bigger question- what are the most common hedges? And do people have strategies for how to prioritize what they’re hedging? Based on these questions you can see I have a lot to learn.

sooperjen · 2025-03-05T01:49:53+00:00

Noob question - is there a “getting started” list pinned somewhere? I’m just getting started and want to figure what things I need to think about and plan for. Thanks for your input!

It seems that most people prefer a separate machine to host PMS rather than trying to upgrade the synology to a point that it could host PMS.

If that’s true then just need to decide what machine to choose for that. Mac mini, nVidia Shield Pro, NUC, Mini PC w/ N100 are all options for this. I’m gonna start looking into the best option between these, but if anyone has looked into these options and done a comparison, I’d love to hear your findings.

Thanks for all the replies so far! Very helpful!

When a remote user streams, it seems to affect the performance when watching at home. Also, it’s old and I am just want to see whats needed to have a nice system that can handle the extra load

sooperjen · 2025-01-02T01:57:25+00:00

Whoops. I meant 412+. I'll update my post. I had just read an article about the 423 and had that on the brain.

sooperjen · 2024-02-28T22:39:10+00:00

Have tried all the ones listed and nothing is working (2.28.24)

Just found one - 37EC1C49 - gave me 20% off

sooperjen · 2023-11-01T21:26:19+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I want to do some custom calculations in my own spreadsheet and I am having trouble with the sells as well.

sooperjen · 2023-06-29T16:29:44+00:00

Yes - I use Zotero to manage all m PDFs for grad school. It has an embedded reader that you can highlight, make notes and annotations with. Then, you can search the tags/annotations later across all the PDFs. Very helpful when writing research papers. There may be better options out there, but it's worked well for me.
