Uh-huh, and plenty of NAS devices had 2,5Gbe even those 6 years ago.

I see! :)

The ports on most Synology devices are the weak spot indeed.

Interesting! May I ask why you use USB port on Synology for Ethernet connection instead of ports on the back? Are they 1gbit?

It’s alright! We don’t all have to host our own instance. Existing ones can easily accommodate hundreds of users.

The docs are not only often difficult for an inexperienced user, they commonly omit points of failure.

Various prerequisites, problematic settings, possibility of the user choosing the wrong menu etc. etc. should always be considered.

For that, one should test all the software personally.

Of course if you use something with only the old reviews, leave a new one! But the fact is, utility of the service is often dampened due to this fact.

Amazing OSM-based maps app, totally recommend.

And that’s wonderful!

But normies, sadly, do not

No, this is Glagolitic script, an alternative to Cyrillic. Mostly used in old Slavic scriptures, was later replaced by Cyrillic and Latin.

Most Slavs themselves don’t know how to read this

2,5" drives are usually slower, but still about 5400rpm, which is on par with many NAS-specific 3,5" drives.

Also, you show Barracudas here, and I’d warn against them in a NAS environment. If you pick among Seagates, Ironwolf series might be what you need; otherwise, WD Reds reign supreme, just check that the specific drive you’re looking for uses CMR, not SMR.

I mean they can make a sneaky update to the client that introduces such changes.

Sure, if you won’t update your client, this won’t affect you, but would potentially open you up to other security vulnerabilities.

Because non-obvious backdoors can be added to the client that break or circumvent encryption (looking at you, xz), stealing all of your passwords, and no one will be able to raise the alarm just by looking at the server code.

Open-source backend allows to generally avoid this situation, while also potentially rendering you able to self-host if you’re paranoid.

Something like Vaultwarden if you care about cloud sync, or KeePassXC if that’s not on your priority list.

Because we only know what the client does, and have no clue on the server side of things, allowing Proton to do any manipulations with the data. Not ideal when you consider it for password storage.

The backend is proprietary. Avoid.

Unintentional Lemmy moment

Alright, thanks for fair criticism! Will delve deeper.

Coffee addict is technically water addict, too

There are plenty of other sources for polyphenols - including tea, but also chocolate, qinoa, buckwheat etc.

There is no need to drink coffee in order to replenish polyphenols in your body.

And drawbacks are huge: aside from broken sleep, caffeine puts a giant strain on cardiovascular and other systems, and in people with caffeine addiction, not having their cup leads to high irritability, sleepiness, dizziness, and a lot of other symptoms.
