Mind officially blown! I’ve just spun up a Debian KDE instance and it’s running beautifully. Exactly what I wanted, thank you!

Yes, big fan of XCP-ng, we use it extensively in work, but I’m not convinced it’s my best option in this case.
I’m using plenty of containers, accelerated and otherwise, but I also want a full-blown desktop that I can access from wherever. Even on a wired LAN, streaming that desktop is slow and laggy when it’s hosted on my NAS, which I think is due to the lack of hardware acceleration on that system. I want to move the VM to a host that has that feature (currently running Ubuntu Server) but I need a hypervisor that doesn’t require its own desktop system to be installed in order to manage it.
Plenty of good replies here to help me though.
Well indeed, that’s why I want to move the VM off the NAS and onto something with some hardware acceleration. Are there any remote frontend options for KVM?
Firefox. I’m fairly convinced it’s something to do with UBO or one of the blocklists but I’ve never taken the time to dig into it properly.
You’ve reminded me of a similar frustration that I’ve never found the answer to - though it may be adblock related - in that whenever I open a link to eBay it completely wipes the history for that tab. Or possibly it opens a new tab and kills the parent. Either way I always forget about it until the next time and then it drives me mad all over again.
Didn’t Plex used to do something like that natively? It would simulate live TV using your library, right down to being half way through an episode when you switched to that channel.
The cut-off date for the integration is October, while Tidal subscriptions taken out via Plex will stop getting renewed in September.
Edit: Comparing mine and OP’s emails I’m guessing it was a different template depending on whether you subscribed via Plex or directly through Tidal. The 26th is probably OP’s renewal date.
Never named any of my cars until we got an ID4. It is called Heidi.
To be fair the Synology lineup is confusing, but if you get the right model - one with a Ryzen processor and support for 32GB memory (officially; they can take more) - then you’ve got yourself a proper little workhorse with low power consumption, a stable, reliable OS, and super easy expansion thanks to the hot-swap drive bays and their Hybrid RAID option. My 8 bay model is running a couple of full-blown VMs and what must be two dozen or so docker containers while barely breaking a sweat. The DS723+ is the equivalent 2 bay model.
For things that need some acceleration like Plex and Immich I’ve added a little N100 box (a Beelink S12 Pro) with Ubuntu Server and another Docker instance, and mounted the NAS storage via SMB. This also sips power even when transcoding 4x Plex streams at once.
All of which is to say you don’t need to do a complex, potentially power hungry and difficult to expand self build to do what you want.
Neither does the BBC’s couch to 5k app, for who knows what reason.
Some of the very first ones were great; Trevor the vampire, and the one that birthed Homsar (possibly the very first one?). Stuck with it for all the classics; lightswitch rave, Trogdor, teen girl squad, 20X6, Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes (I still bring up Eh, Steve! to this day).
Eventually they started getting longer and longer and lost a lot of the punchiness and I stopped watching.
I think my favourite is probably Trogdor. The way Strong Mad has just carved ‘DAGRON’ into the table always makes me chuckle for some reason.
Ohhhhh I see. The wording on that page could be so much better!
I don’t get it. What’s it supposed to be doing?
This is excellent but alas I can’t get it to work in nginx-proxy-manager. Keen to see if anyone else can figure it out.
Make an offer of $0.01. Assuming the responses aren’t automated, every time they reject it, raise the offer by 1c. Keep doing it till you hit the $15 mark and then just stop. It could waste literal years of their time.
I’ll have to have a look when I’m next in the vacinity but I’m pretty sure I have an APC Easy UPS on mine and it works out of the box.
Let me get back to you…
Update: It’s an APC Back-UPS 850. No doubt the instructions banged on about requiring Powerchute but I just plugged it into the Syno and it worked fine. You do need to enable UPS support on the NAS itself of course, from Control Panel/Hardware & Power/UPS, and set it to USB UPS.
Yeah honestly Eternal should’ve been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.
Meh. I was really hoping they’d go back to the sci-fi aesthetic of 2016 but instead they’ve doubled down on the weird high fantasy with guns thing.
It’s like they actually wanted to reboot Heretic/Hexen but they couldn’t get the license for it so they’ve just shoehorned it into Doom instead.
Synology has Container Manager, which is their GUI frontend for Docker, so if it’ll run in Docker it’ll run on a Syno NAS. I’m running Pihole on mine just fine.
As for the M.2 drives, you can use non-Synology ones as storage. Don’t quote me on it but I’ve a feeling it “just works” in the EU where they’re not allowed to force you to use specific brands, but if it doesn’t then there’s a script that removes the restriction: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume
You should check their repo as they have other useful scripts. I’m using the one that enables dedupe on non-SSD volumes myself.
