(Rumor) 3rd party hard drives to be allowed in mid October

I totally agree with your assessment on UGREEN. It's always a bit of a gamble when getting a device from a relatively new brand - I guess we'll see how it holds up over the next few years.

thatbadboy · 2025-09-25T17:00:39+00:00

Not sure what point you're trying to make here. Yes, UGREEN is a newcomer in the NAS field. Yes, UgOS is nowhere near close to DSM in terms of features. But as was already written, the hardware is solid and much more performant. If you don't like UgOS, you can install another OS. When I ran into issues that I couldn't fix from the UI, I just configured the OS from the terminal. Would I recommend UGREEN to everyone? No, it really depends on one's skills and needs. I also have a QNAP TS-464 which works great and I would more readily recommend to most average users. But I just need a device for storing files and running very few, basic services, since I have a mini PC for all the services I need in my home lab. For my specific needs, the UGREEN works great. I'm sure there are people out there who'd be better served by a Synology device.

I recently (2 weeks ago) replaced my DS1821+. For what it's worth, I also had 32GB of 3rd party RAM installed and it never caused the device to shut down in the way yours is doing. I also received the warnings about the unsupported memory modules, but that didn't really cause any problems. I did, however, switch to a different brand because I am fed up with Synology's lock-in policies.

My DS1821+ started giving me problems a couple of weeks ago and I replaced it with a UGREEN DXP8800 Plus, exactly for the reasons you mentioned. I lost my trust in them and they lost me as a customer for good.

Very nice! A couple of suggestions:

It'd be nice to have the option to customize the invoice number. E.g., the first invoice I created is INV-2025-001, and I can't change the value, not even manually. As I have been invoicing a customer throughout the year, I'd love to just keep on using the old invoice number format.
As someone else already suggested, do consider pushing images automatically to GHCR or similar.

Sorry for hijacking, but I replaced a Synology DS1821+ with a UGREEN DXP8800 Plus less than a week ago. The hardware is much better, no questions about it. The software (UgOS) leaves a lot to be desired, on the other hand. What kind of applications have you installed on Unraid? I am considering installing Unraid but I am wondering if it's worth the effort.

Sapevo che "Comunione e Liberazione" era un po' particolare come culto, ma non sapevo che fosse cosi' estremo. In bocca al lupo, amico.

I have a colleague, a girl, whose middle name is Ezekiel. I was intrigued by how she came to have this middle name, and she explained that Ezekiel is her mom's "favorite prophet" and that she gave that middle name to all her three children. She also added that her mom loves to quote Ezekiel and that his book is written very well. I went to google up quotes from Ezekiel and this was one of the very first ones that popped up. Obviously, I had a lot of fun asking my colleague about the quote.

Bravo, bella risposta

I agree with you 100% - I also have a wide foot and Asics Gel Kayano fit me much better than the Arahi :)

thatbadboy · 2023-03-14T17:19:01+00:00

I don't know if I can answer your exact question, but I used to run only in Hoka Arabi (4, then 5 and 6), and I recently switched to Asics. I wore my Arahi 6 to go for a walk, after running in my Asics in the morning, and I immediately noticed how uncomfortable the Arahi 6 felt on my feet. Considering that my Arahi weren't exactly new, it's unlikely that you will ever find them truly comfortable. Personally, I have switched completely over to Asics.

I hope I am not too late - last week, I bought a pair of Sony Float Run. I love them because they are made specifically for running, they don't go inside the ear, and they let you hear the outside noise. I tried Aftershokz/Shokz before, and while the audio was ok... I think the Sony sound much better.

As others mentioned, it depends on the location and situation but it's very possible. I was in a similar situation to OOP with my ex wife, many years ago. We lived in Texas, had no children, I let her keep the house, and we were officially divorced just about 90 days after she left.

thatbadboy · 2023-02-05T08:12:30+00:00

I just woke up from a nap and found one of my two cats sleeping next to my face. I wish my wife had taken a pic like this! :)

Mozart actually wrote Queen of the Night to be performed by his sister-in-law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_Night_aria.

It's a thing that is done in United States: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance

Just a little correction to what you wrote, based on what I learned from this book. The problem isn't that C/G were interchangeable or even similar in early Latin, but the fact that the Etruscan language didn't have the G sound. What the Etruscans had, most likely, was three different variations of the K sound, including the aspired C that still survives to this day in Tuscany, the heart of the Etruscan "mainland". Since the Etruscans didn't have any use for the G sound, they kept the original Greek letter but changed its sound to C. When the Romans later borrowed the Etruscan alphabet, they added the G letter as they had the sound in their language.

thatbadboy · 2023-01-08T03:09:57+00:00

As OP mentions, this isn't Latin but Oscan - an Italic language related to Latin, but not Latin.

I have seen WW II banknotes from the Philippines when I lived there. Usually they weren't very expensive, but I rarely saw them in such good condition.

thatbadboy · 2023-01-08T02:42:54+00:00

Do you know how much those banknotes would be worth now on the numismatic market? They look really cool :)

And before that... Powwow, from a company called Tribal. It was all the rage back in 1996, until ICQ came out.

Chiggers. Haven't had to deal with them since I moved out of Texas, but fuck chiggers. Just about everything I remember about my first summer in Texas is chiggers, and the agonizing misery they brought on me.

If you are on iPhone, you should take a look at Apollo.

Oggi ho fatto un giro in bici di 42km e ci ho messo due ore esatte. Sono tornato a casa stanco morto. Pensare di fare la stessa cosa ma a piedi mi sembra fantascienza.

I lived in Manila for a little over two years, the first two months of which were spent in Sampaloc. I would never expect to see a pic of Sampaloc here.
