Synology

Hi, I'll try here as Salt refuses to help me. I have a Synology DS218 and recently switched to Salt - since then a connection via DDNS is no longer possible, only with QuickConnect, which is slower and in my opinion less secure. I have opened all ports for Drive and VPN in the fibre box manager, Synology has also checked this, but the ports are and remain closed. Salt writes about this: "As mentioned Salt works with the IPv6, normally purposes (like NAS), are configured for a public IPv4." I'm getting nowhere here. Fortunately, everything works via QuickConnect, but it is, as I said, slow and I would like to be able to set up the solution that suits me. There is practically nothing to be found on YouTube or the Internet about the Salt Fibre Box. Who has experience with it and knows what to do? Salt on the website still: "Functions such as access to your network via the Fiber Box and port forwarding are possible with the IPv6 protocol. If you need to set up an Internet-accessible service with a device that does not yet support IPv6, you can request activation of the public IPv4 address option (CHF 9.95/month)." I'm an amateur user and already pretty proud that I even know what port forwarding is, but my IT latin ends here, and I feel a bit left out in the cold by Salt. Or as they put it: "We offer support for all questions regarding your fibre connection as well as the devices and services included in the Salt Fiber offer (Internet, TV, fixed-line telephony) within the scope of "normal private use" in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions." So a NAS is not normal private use. Okay. Thank you! Thomas.

what does it take to get/upgrade/buy a fast NAS. i have large lightroom libraries with RAW images around 45mb per image, do panoramas up to 1gb per image or hdr edits. so lots of large image data that often needs to be loaded quickly. I have the synology 216play with 2x 6tb wd red disks. 4bay is also possible with a new purchase. I would like to leave my other hardware as it is for now. macbook pro mid 2017, i7 quadcore, ram 16gb lpddr3, graphics radeon pro 560 4gb.

Dear community, I am a freelance photographer and in 2015 I bought a MacPro with a LaCie 5big 20TB as main storage. The main storage runs in RAID 5 and I therefore have effectively 16TB of storage available. For cost reasons, I bought two smaller LaCie 2big 12TB units as backup. One unit is directly connected to the computer as a TimeMachine backup, while the second 12TB unit is stored externally at another location. The two backups are swapped around once a month. The entire system runs via Thunderbolt 2. Simple and effective, which I like. Now, unfortunately, the backup is close to the 12TB limit and is full. Logically, I still have around 4TB of free main storage. Basically, I am satisfied with the LaCie products. Now the question is how I should proceed. The image resolutions of the cameras and thus the storage requirements are getting higher and higher. Should I spend a lot of money and buy 3x LaCie 6big 48TB or 60TB and have peace of mind for a few years, or switch to the (complicated?) Synology system, where I can apparently keep adding more disks? Or just one backup instead of two. Specifically: A large main storage at home and a Synology backup externally at a friend's house (separated by location). My only concerns are storage, backup (security) and reliability. All the Synology apps and cloud/media services are not important to me. What would be your approach in my case? Thanks for any feedback.

Is it possible to backup only certain folders on a Synology 2-bay NAS? I want to have a backup of the relevant folders and is it a problem if I use two different sized HDDs? As an example: HDD 1 (8TB): Project files, documents, assets, plugins, downloads, movies, music, etc. HDD 2 (2TB): Backup of project files and documents

Hello, could you please help me? I am starting my studies in September and have a budget of between 800 and 1000 CHF to buy a new computer. I will use it for ARGIS, Matlab and similar software, among other things. Can you recommend a good computer in this price range? Thank you very much

In view of the 3G switch-off (Sunrise 10.6.25, Swisscom end of 25), not only 4G (=data), but also VoLTE (telephoning via LTE) should be selectable for mobile phones in the filter for mobile standard. You cannot make calls with 4G without VoLTE, and some mobiles can only transmit data via 4G!

OK, yes, you should not wear headphones while cycling. Thank you, I am aware of that and don't want to start such a discussion ;). I am looking for true wireless headphones that have little to no wind noise when listening to music or audio books. Do you have any good recommendations? I have had experience with the following headphones (ANC turned off): Jabra Elite 75t: quite OK, slight wind noise audible Jabra Elite 85t: lots of wind noise, almost impossible to hear anything Google Pixel Buds Pro: Wind noise is clearly audible, but music can be heard without it being too distracting. Your experience? Maybe digitec will do a test with the current True Wireless headphones ;). Thank you!

Hello Community. I have been looking for comfortable socks that have a weak or loose elasticated band at the sock opening for some time now. Many of the socks I buy these days have an uncomfortable and stiff elasticated band. This makes putting on and wearing the socks quite uncomfortable. I have size 40/41 shoes and have tried to buy larger socks (43-46), but they are just as tight, stiff and uncomfortable. Does anyone have a recommendation for me? Many thanks in advance

I've heard that you can even insure your arse here on earth. But I haven't found any that would insure me against bullying or hatred. I don't know why.
