What kind of fresh bullshit is this? I am not impacted since I built my own NAS but still.

Archive: https://archive.today/u7RlL

From the post:

>Synology's new Plus Series NAS systems, designed for small and medium enterprises and advanced home users, can no longer use non-Synology or non-certified hard drives and get the full feature set of their device. Instead, Synology customers will have to use the company's self-branded hard drives. While you can still use non-supported drives for storage, Hardwareluxx [machine translated] reports that you’ll lose several critical functions, including estimated hard drive health reports, volume-wide deduplication, lifespan analyses, and automatic firmware updates. The company also restricts storage pools and provides limited or zero support for third-party drives.

Not that far but I have worked on and built a ton of critical infra including basically designing a datacenter. Its not as hard as it sounds and I do have friends that worked at ISP's that were basically startup's and built most of the place from the ground up.

A lot of the effort goes into getting agreements, political crap and capital to get some shit done. You maybe saw the thing I posted earlier this week about a guy building his own ISP to tell comcast to fuck themselves. He is one of many and that has been going on since the 90's if you know where to look for the stories.

If I was my own ISP, on a remote farm that had flowing water, geothermal and used the flowing water to generate power, I'd just be happy every day for the rest of my life.

You and me both. I am working toward at least a couple parts of that but my Wife still wants to be "close-ish" to a not so large city so there is that to consider. The rest, working on it.

Same boat. Mine doesn't want to be more than 2 hours from a Costco.
