For remote access i used Tailscale. Once two devices are connected to Tailscale you can just use windows to map a network place to the NAS. It wont show up at first but you you have to type the device name like //nas-name/ and then windows should see it. It works great and i can access any computers connected to the tailscale remotely just as they would appear locally.
@SonoranTech-hf5hf10 күн бұрын
Tailscale is a good option. One problem I've run into that corporate issues machines are quite restrictive on what you can install, so it rules out many options for remote access.

If you have a garden, buy a tool shed, buy another Synology, or just an old cheap server off eBay, dig a trench and lap a Lan cable, do you backups from house to tool shed. Whatever you do it's going to cheaper than cloud. Bit of capital outlay then 15-30 watts power costs and no egress bill. The figures are scary. Somebody pressed the wrong button and we got a £5k bill at work. What about other providers, does it support Backblaze?

As a Fedora Linux user, I must agree that installing NVIDIA drivers on Fedora is a less-than-simple process. I recently wanted to switch from KDE Plasma spin to Sway tiling WM spin on Fedora 40 because I was getting more and more annoyed with certain things in KDE Plasma (these things probably wouldn't bother the average Joe) I installed Sway spin, and went to install my NVIDIA drivers using the instructions on RPM fusion. I have done this process before, but for some reason, NVIDIA decided it needed an active X server to work. All this nonsense resulted in me just giving up on tiling window managers, and made me go over to just using XFCE, which I chose for its lightweights and also for the near infinite customization.

Hi. Just try Bluefin from project universal blue. Is based on Fedora Silverblue but with everything need for a better experience with drivers and multimedia codecs. Also is image based and with the benefits of an immutable system, very stable indeed. I’m been running it since January and is been the best Linux experience that I have so far, in my opinion is the future of Linux.

Seems horribly complicated. Why wouldn't you just use Synology's built-in Glacier Backup app?
@SonoranTech-hf5hf12 күн бұрын
The reason is that the Glacier backup app doesn't support all of the glacier storage classes and you can't use the cheapest storage class. So the glacier app is definitely easier, but will cost quite a bit more in the long run.

For me as a geek, Synology wasn't interested before Docker came in. It was none upgradeable hardware with limited Linux in terms of supported packages (by supported I also mean automatically upgradeable). With docker, it is different now and I'm ok to pay to play with it. But in terms of software, I don't want vendor lock. I want ability to migrate to other hardware or even cloud vm. That's why I use only Synology Photos and have Todo to replace it with software I can install anywhere (paid is also ok).

20 years ago, that is quite early. I have only been using Linux as my main and exclusive OS in the last 6 years, 5 if I include having started up Windows for 1 particular game and only then (before 2019 I had a graphics card which was incompatible with Linux-gaming due to not being good enough with Vulkan). However, I also like to play videogames and I dislike consoles so I was stuck to Windows for much too long. Otherwise I would probably have switched to Linux in the early to mid 10's.

@@SonoranTech-hf5hfLinux has come a lonng way, these days almost all hardware just works. There are some weird quirks, like a Sony camera not reliably connecting because Sony implemented it the right way but on Linux we adapted to Windows doing weird things (yes, this is a thing, you can fix it with a USB-config file somewhere in your /sys directory), for some hardware the support is hacky (Soundblaster soundcards with general drivers, Corsair keyboards which work but are not hotpluggable and are not as reliable in all VM's) but generally it just works. Imagine starting a new kernel in the year 2024, that seems impossible considering how much the Linux kernel has grown in just the last few years. It would be even more a Herculian task than that it was for Linux in the 90's, 00's and 10's.

If they just keep saying it's the year of the linux desktop eventually it'll happen right? In all seriousness i think it would actually be a terrible sign if they gave up.

I give it two years to at least being as usable as windows, even if it doesn't achieve feature parity.

Ubuntu is only used for the snaps. If you like anything about ubuntu try debian. Debian stable is Ubuntu lts but with nothing forced apon you. Issues with snaps - forced to use ubuntu servers for the store and AppArmor is customized with ubuntu with the kernels making snaps sandbox to only be supported on Ubuntu. Having snaps marketed as an universal package but have features only accessible on Ubuntu is a huge downside especially most users don't know this. Since Debian 12, debian now defaults to non-free-firmware enabled allowing for some wifi cards and graphics to work out of the box and having the net installer on the mainpage, not hidden in a wiki page. Debian also has a live installer for users who don't like the old looking installer.

I have been using Linux for 24 years and I'm still learning something new. The problem with Linux adoption isn't Linux, it's the fact that most people associate the operating system with the computer. Nobody can say I just bought a Linux PC, but everyone buys Windows PCs, due of course, to OEM deals and market monopolies. That will not changed anytime soon and would probably take unprecedented anticompetition deliberations government would never undertake. That only leaves individuals to make a change and sure a rain storm is made up of individual drops of water, but this momentum will never match the power of the corporate behemoth that drives the market. Nevertheless, I make it my goal to increase a Linux awareness wherever and whenever I can.

Ceph probably is a good idea, but as far as TrueNAS and ZFS, I used to run multiple zvols but eventually moved to a single zvol with RAIDZ3 because I found it increased my available storage by reducing the number of drives used for redundancy but while increasing the actual redundancy. Then anytime I needed to replace a drive I just replaced it with the largest drive I could buy at a reasonable cost. Since I was replacing the non-nas drives fairly often I was able to increase the storage space fairly quickly.
@SonoranTech-hf5hfАй бұрын
So after making this video I gave ceph a try. I set up a 3 node proxmox cluster, used the proxmox ceph solution and then exposed it through a VM. It worked, but it took several days to move 5 TB onto the cluster and I never got it to a completely green status with a couple lingering placement group errors. It was pretty cool to see it working, but old commodity hardware and 1GB ethernet doesn't seem like a recipe for success. I figured I'd end up fighting with ceph so I just bailed and went back to a couple of truenas instances running on proxmox. Not as interesting as ceph, but it gets the job done, even with the extra pools.
