FYI, 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.

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.

Also, not all races are contested by both Democrats and Republicans. Sometimes the third party is the only one running for a position, sometimes it’s just one third party vs the Republican.

Local races are significantly different.

The Teletubbies are the Elois from HG Well’s The Time Machine.

Of course it’s Technology Connections. Who else would make a video about a (now) useless piece of 80’s tech with enough content to satisfy any level of curiosity.

Camping equipment.

Cleaning service.

Cats Quest 2

Pretty cute game and if one person is significantly better at games, they can carry the team pretty well.

Step one is to find a group of like minded LOCAL individuals that all have an interest in supporting each other. It doesn’t matter how you find each other - game groups, religion, gardening clubs, etc. Just build a clan and make sure you are willing to support each other.

The whole You Are Not So Smart podcast is about how people think and how you can get people to really examine their beliefs and bringing them closer to rationality.

There are ways to do it, but it’s also easy to push the wrong direction, and you can’t think about it as making someone think a certain way, but helping them examine why they believe what they do.

I’ve been running a pair of cyberpower systems for over a decade. I had to replace the battery in each of them once, but they’ve been working great.

I assume newer ones use some sort of Li-Ion battery tech, but mine are just plain old Lead Acid.

SagA* is as good as any other galactic center for intergalactic north too. There’s really no reason to pick a different one.

SagA*

It’s as good a place as any other.

SMS is fine for 2FA, as long as you can’t use it for anything else, like a password reset.

Once the SMS is used for account recovery, it’s now 1FA with a terrible security hole.

If you have complex, single use passwords, and have SMS 2FA, then it’s pretty ok. Not the best security, but at least better than a most.

Obviously offline time based passkeys are better for the 2FA, but typically the real problem is how to get into an account if you’ve lost one part of your login.

Whoa, really??? I guess I just assumed nothing changed in the last 5 years. I need to look into that.

Not the only use cases, but you’d need a different service if you need/want wildcard certs, certs that are manually installed and managed, or certs with a longer expiration.

It depends on how you want to think about it. I think Action Lab did the best short video explanation of how your perception of mirrors makes things look flipped.
