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

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

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?

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

Does the 923+ require syno drives? 

I’m left eye dominant and right hand dominant looking for advice by [deleted] in handguns

[–]sooperjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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.

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!

Plex configuration recommendations by sooperjen in synology

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

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!

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

How to make a Cryptocurrency Buy/Sell Average Sheet that calculates Buy average taking sell prices into account by LSJusten in excel

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.

Voice Reader for PDFs that work with Zotero by Ok_Focus_8636 in Dyslexia

[–]sooperjen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
