A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hello everyone! I need your help choosing a NAS. (I don't need a big one, a 2 bay model should suffice.) What are your recommendations?

(Not so long ago, I would have taken one from Synology, but it seems they now force us to use their own, too expensive, HDD.)

They reversed that policy (also you could get around it quite easily).

But everyone believes they'll wait and try again.

For now.

@remon@ani.social Didn't know. In that case I might go with something from them, unless someone got a better recommendation.

As for getting around it, might have been easy for you, but I'm not so sure whether it would have been for my sister and me.
