All right. With the release of the new RPi4 with 8Gb of RAM I had to get myself one to see if it was already a viable desktop replacement for surfing and emails.
While a SD card works fine for certain tasks (things that don't require a lot of IO) -- for a desktop that's a no-go... It's just too slow.
I still had an old Macbook Pro 13" (2o15?) SSD lying around that was collecting dust. Why not use that one to use as root for the RPi?
I’ve had an iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard and one of the things I've been wondering... Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server -- sure I'll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case... But would it actually work?
The answer is... Yes -- but...
Resilio Sync released an update last week and on Synology these package don't auto update. Time to manually update the packages again.
On my DS1515 (more RAM, more CPU) the manual update goes by fine (stop service, manual update, browse for file, upload, start service) but my DS216j, not so much.
Attempting to upload the file instantly fails with the useful error "Operation Failed".
Almost 10 years after I registered 0x04.com, it's time to part ways.
Yesterday I finalised the sale of 0x04.com.
My company in Singapore was called 0x04 pte. ltd. and to avoid any confusion I've renamed to su1 pte. ltd. su1 standing for Superuser.one. 🤷♂️
Noticed that NextDNS was reporting old hostnames in the logs. For example old device names (devices that changed hostnames), devices that were definitely no longer on the network, or IPs that were matched to the wrong hostnames.
The culprit is how EdgeOS deals with its hosts file. Basically it just keeps all the old hosts added and just adds a new line at the end of the file.
I live in Singapore. And haze is a thing. Thanks Indonesia and burning rain forests to create palm plantations. Needless to say, so far 2019 and 2020 haven't been great.
Anyhow I got myself a Novita air purifier ~2 years ago, and I stole received a Xiaomi purifier from Liyun.
This follows the my two other posts about WireGuard.
Most of this can be copied from the amd64 post -- with a minor change for making it work on RPi4. This is the full git repo (including both rpi and amd64).
This is a rant.
I've dealt with quite a few (bad) banks over the course of my life across countries and businesses.
And I think HSBC is one of the worst.
For various reasons. But mostly for being stuck in another century.
And you'd expect a tiny (Belgian) bank to be horrible. Not one of the biggest banks in the world with branches in almost every country of the world.
The Resilio Sync package that's provided on a Synology NAS' Packager Center is out of date (2.6.2) and has a bug that causes big files to fail to sync (and that causes a loop of endless retries).
The solution is to manually update the package from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4. Find your NAS architecture and then download (bottom of the page) the right binary and manually install it.
