Just tried this myself and mine does the same thing but I don’t have anything set in the custom locations tab. What did you do to resolve it?

This is the exact same argument that I see used against EVs almost daily, while the people making these calls for “better analysis” ignore the dodgy mining practices and literal wars that are the result of oil extraction. But let’s go back to fireworks. I spent all of 30 seconds Googling and found this. I’m sure it’s far from an exhaustive list of firework ingredients but it’s a decent start. Highlights include:
Sulfur - extracted from oil and natural gas.
Aluminum - 28% of US aluminum comes from recycled sources, which is great, but any that goes into fireworks is then lost forever. The rest of it comes from mines in Canada and Jamaica.
Iron and copper - Mined domestically and both are recyclable but gone forever once they’re exploded.
Strontium - Mined in Mexico.
Barium - Mined in China.
Sodium - Mined in Chile and Peru.
How come you’re not asking for a better analysis of the mining practices for the ores extracted in Jamaica, Mexico, China, Chile, and Peru? How much of anything that makes up your average firework, including cardboard and plastic, is recycled at the end of that firework’s life? How many fireworks are reusable even once let alone tens or even hundreds of times? Much like with oil burning cars, these things are ignored because they’ve been around for a long time and it’s normalised. Meanwhile emerging technologies, while demonstrably cleaner/better in pretty much every metric, are held to impossible standards that the old tech gets a free pass on.
No, we don’t recycle much lithium yet but it’s a new technology and battery recycling plants are springing up all over the place all the time, and these same plants often deal in the various other electronic materials that you cited. How much used petroleum is recycled each year? How many fireworks?
I don’t want to argue and I should probably just delete this rather than posting it, having said my piece to myself, but perhaps I’m my own worst enemy…
7,500 reusable/repairable drones in this show vs more than 12,000 single use fireworks in London’s last New Year’s show alone.
I fully agree that fireworks still have their place, but I think the suggestion that they’re in any way comparable to drones from an environmental standpoint is way off base.
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.
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?
Thanks, I’m going to have to put some research into this!
I’ve heard Shelly bandied about quite a lot in the HA circle but this is the first thing that’s made me sit up and take notice. You’re saying they’re far more customisable than, say, your standard ZigBee light switch?
Yes of course! I enabled experimental features to use a template add-on, but I later removed it and turned the option off.
Either they A/B tested this or they accidentally released some of it early because I got all of that new UI stuff a few months ago, complete with addons appearing in the HA updates section. A few days later, just as I’d got used the change, it disappeared!
At least I now know I wasn’t going mad.
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.
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?
It’s the same in the UK but “legal tender” doesn’t mean what most people think it means.
When you buy something from a shop you’re technically offering to enter a contractual relationship for the purchase of said goods. If the shop agrees to your terms, including how you’d like to pay, then the contract is ratified. If they don’t accept your preferred method of payment then there is no contract of sale and there is no debt to be paid.
This is also why shops don’t have to honour pricing errors; when you bring the item to the checkout you’re technically just offering to buy it for the listed price and they can choose to reject your offer.
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 that’s exactly what I’d done but it was insisting on trying to redirect me to the site on port 4443 for some reason.
Fixed it in the end by reverting the NPM config to default (no advanced settings) and instead using Pihole’s
VIRTUAL_HOST=pihole.mydomain.internal
environment variable in the Docker compose file.Cheers for your help anyway!
