Hey, I just went through my old saved comments and stumbled across yours. Do you know if there is a way to download the entire Worm audiobook from the page you linked without having to click each individual download button? I typically use audiobookshelf for my listening so I would need to download everything first :/

Sounds like pretty much every multiplayer game with Anti-Cheat is horribly designed in that case...

Anti-Cheat software seems to be the last hurdle preventing widespread compatibility with Linux. Even when there is a linux version of an anti-cheat (BattleEye has a Linux version I believe) companies don't use that and still restrict their game to windows. Looking at you ubisoft and rainbow six siege

Shit breaks but when it does there is a well documented wiki to help you fix it rather than multitude of vaguely related ubuntu forum posts

One question in regards to your noise comment: What drives are you running? I have a synology with 2 toshiba mg08 16tb drives and those things are unbearably loud when reading or writing. A lot of that obviously comes down to the drives themselves but I also kind of blame the plastic chassis for probably resonating with the noise and not being better at soundproofing.

My personal reasons for buying a synology were ease of use, reliability and power usage.

I had previously played around with TrueNAS in a VM using an external USB HDD Enclosure for storage and I just wanted something reliable. With TrueNAS I often ran into issues with user permissions one way or another and the Synology software is incredibly easy to use and foolproof.

Is that supposed to be a con? I don't even use 4 bays currently and would be perfectly fine with a 4 rackmount NAS. 7 HDD bays sounds great to me

That thing looks almost too good to be true for 500. What's the drawback?

Not available in europe? (It actually is available, I just checked)

Loud as fuck?

Bad Software?

Welp, guess I definitely won't be buying synology again in the future. I was planning to transition to a rackmounted NAS at some point and synology is overpriced in that category anyway but this puts the final nail in for me.

It's a shame because I quite liked the simplicity of their UI.

If you shouldn't use sensitive information as command line arguments and also avoid environment variables for passwords, how should you pass such data to programs short of setting up a configuration file?

Damn. I have the opposite problem. I make up ideas for projects that I may or may not build and can't come up with a decent name.

My last project that I actually build was an MQTT based smart planter for integration with homeassistant using an ESP32 MCU. My project name? ESPlanter...
