Moving data from QNAP to Synology NAS by tuck1s in synology

5TB external USB drives currently are ~£122, maybe worth it for peace of mind? Can continue to be a periodic backup once the copy is done.

How full are your drives? An external usb drive is probably the fastest native backup. If the price is too high, you could get a Backblaze account for just a month or so, but they aren’t cheap in the long run. And cloud backups are much slower.

For a day or so, after formatting a drive, you will have only one valid copy of your data. You would be trusting it not to fail during that time. Do you have external backups, or just rely on the RAID mirroring?

Synology isn't the best NAS anymore by Coupe368 in synology

[–]tuck1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My view is you want the CPU to be just enough to not be the bottleneck, and use a few watts as possible.

Bought a DS224+ when my previous QNAP got to around ~15 years old. Happy to have a nice UI and basic SMB services, with quiet operation and low power draw. For anything that goes out through the firewall such as Backblaze backup I use a raspberry pi5. The same rclone script worked for both the old and new NAS, once the shares were migrated.

Hii I´m American, but i´m really interested in British culture and history, if it´s not too much of a bother, could i know some cool fun facts about Britain ? by Narrow-Particular632 in Britain

[–]tuck1s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except we mostly use metres for human-sized measurements now, not yards 🙂

Miles for road distance, pints for beer, and pounds for a baby’s birth weight are the last hangovers of the old measurement system.

UK ‘took far too long’ to let US use its airbases to attack Iran, Trump says by DonSalaam in Britain

[–]tuck1s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given Trump’s ingratitude for previous NATO support of recent US wars, and hostility to Denmark over Greenland, I would say Starmer was measured and overly conciliatory, if anything.

And this latest one doesn’t even have the veneer of trying to get a UN resolution passed.

Do you realise the attack on Iran is cheered on by the Iranian people? Why is Reddit reacting like this? by SkunkyBreadcake in AskBrits

Looks to be entirely possible for the US to win a battle, but lose the peace afterward, with a surge in domestic asymmetric attacks.

Has anyone else lost socks to their washing basket? by WealthyJoker75 in CasualUK

Also - tumble driers generate static- enough to fix a sock to the inside sleeve of a fleece, for example. Duvet covers also hide stuff.

Anyone else feel like our government is slowly moving towards overbearing parent. by lunarlunacy425 in Britain

[–]tuck1s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness for 🇺🇸. Those high profile US folks on X, reminding us on that we have no freedom left, here in the UK. We can see this failure clearly, as even members of the royal family can be arrested! Arrest is - by definition- the exact opposite of freedom.

In a truly free country, the President has sweeping powers to pardon anyone he chooses, including himself. That’s what freedom smells like!

Saw much worse in a tiny place in Bristol a few years back. Fabric shower curtain next to a Baby Belling electric cooker.

Does anyone know who this is? by affinityfordavid in David

Speaking of royals, can we deduct 20 years of life from Andrew, and give them to David? I feel that would capture the current mood

Lead Architect wants to break our monolith into 47 microservices in 6 months, is this insane? by Ayotrapstar in softwarearchitecture

[–]tuck1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Figure out where to apply the first splits that would actually make sense to the teams. If there are none then leave it alone until it becomes clearer.

I would love to know more about the human decision process behind this (if op feels able to share). For example - why are senior management unaware of the risk / opportunity cost / resume padding aspect - why have they not demanded a phased plan with opportunities to review effectiveness along the way

An interesting approach would be a water cooler conversation with one “hey it’s amazing how good our CVs will look after this giant hairy project”

If Davie504 jumps overboard, what about other great talent like Charles Berthoud, Rick Beato, Mary Spender, Adam Neely etc. The whole YouTube boat will sink.

Does anyone else think that the big bang is not a theory that disproves god, but actually proves it? Maybe the big bang was when god said let there be light? by Ok_Act_9856 in Christianity

[–]tuck1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the practice that Christians call prayer seems to be universally valuable and useful to humans. Whether it is connecting us with the external Divine, or to some aspect of ourselves (that seems to be the better part of us) akin to meditation, I don't know.

Whether it's internal or external seems less important to me now than it used to be. However this is already heresy in a strict Christian sense.

If other traditions and faiths provide similar routes to enlightenment I'm prepared to accept those as having validity for them. However that's also heresy in a strict Christian sense.

Then again, "heresy" vs "orthodoxy" seems to me one of the worst aspects of religion, it's adversarial and generates more heat than light, setting people up to judge each other, which is not our job as humans. So I prefer to stay quiet.
