    I had an Ubuntu system eat itself Christmas Eve at 1am. I think an update pooched some folder permissions and wiped the firewall settings.

    It started with “Huh, the network drives won’t mount”, progressed to containers failing to start with “hardware not found” GPU-related errors -oh yeah, I still have to check that and make sure it is working- and yadda yadda… 13 hours later I got services back up and running.

    Oof, today I slept in until 10. Ahhhhh…

    Bingo. I’ve used Synology for ages and while they dont last forever, I get a lot of use out of them and re-buy them usually with an upgrade in mind.

    But the new hard drive policy broke that cycle. I don’t put up with that. I replaced one with a UGreen NAS last month. It’s too early to tell how I feel about it. Docker is there and containers spin up pretty easily. Rumor has it there is hardware support for video encoding too, though I haven’t gotten around to testing it.

  • Personally, I think IPv6 is not a good choice for any service you don’t want associated with a specific device. As I understand it, the prefix delegation comes from the ISP, but often the interface ID is derived from the machine’s MAC address which is a link to specific machine hardware, can reveal information about the host, and possibly deanonymoized across networks.

    I’d stick with IPv4 because NAT gives a tad more anonymity. Just my $0.02 though.
