14·2 days agoFYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.
https://www.synology.com/en-global/releaseNote/DSM
7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.
If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.
The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.
Oof, that’s a lot of juice.
I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.
I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.
Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

Of course, that assumes everyone is there consensually, and is free to leave whenever.

Local races are significantly different.
191·9 days agoBecause no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.
I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.
I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.
Which is customized for every patient, so it currently costs $500,000 and isn’t FDA approved for wide use, AND it is only available inside the US in a limited number of facilities.
Still, it’s very promising, and if it holds up, it’ll eventually be more widespread. At the end of the article it says they’re working on a more generalized approach that could lower the cost and increase availability.
There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with
“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”
18·11 days agoThat’s half the plot of Armageddon (1998)
Am… am I from New York? That’s exactly what I would do in that situation.
it’s much harder to prove because the official acts part also includes all the evidence and testimony needed to prosecute.
So if you can’t use evidence from official communication to prove that the treason happened. That makes the prosecution of presidents very difficult. It’s going to be extremely difficult for a prosecution to tell a coherent story to a jury without including any “official” acts as part of the crime.
3·11 days agoTypically there’s a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process.
Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires.
Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.
D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.
You’re putting words in my mouth and exaggerating my statements. Just look at how the NASA manned space programs have run since the start, AND how they are currently run. Congress puts a lot of stipulations on how they are manufactured. NASA has a big problem with congressional interference.
Their science/unmanned programs are different, because congress is more hands off. Those are running just fine. The problem is that SpaceX is a huge cost and has a lot of manufacturing and jobs associated with it. That invites congressional interference.
Not only that, but they also have a large commercial presence already with the Starlink. The government doesn’t typically run things like that, so they’ll probably sell of the Starlink portion of the company.
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s not libertarian-ism, it’s just how NASA is run. Once the budgets get into the billions, congress can’t keep their hands off it.
Yes, there are certainly problems with the Commercial Crew program right now, just look at how Starliner is run. We probably won’t get a capsule from Boeing, because they don’t have an incentive to finish, due to the fact that it’s not a cost+ program like the SLS is. SLS is also constrained by politics, they are required to use so many Shuttle parts, just to keep those sub-contractors happy.
It could, but that’s not how these types of programs get run. They’re as much about making jobs in specific areas as they are about solving a problem.
Problem is that if SpaceX becomes part of NASA, then it’ll be like the space shuttle. It’ll need parts made by every small company that contributed to some random representative in every state, so we’ll end up with 300+ contractors all building critical components.
I hope they have a good use for it. I’d love to see them utilize the name to try to de-radicalize folks.
The Onion seems to have gotten a new life after they were bought, so maybe they’ll go the Cards Against Humanity route and start to push things in a better direction.
