Wanted to try get an upstream Linux kernel booting on a #Synology DS118 (#Realtek RTD1296 SoC), but not having much luck. Not even seeing any earlycon output so far. 😕

Some patches for a DS418 (very similar board) seem to have made it upstream, but I wonder if platform support is just incomplete or something.

Dienstag ist #DNIPBriefing-Tag. Mit den Geschichten, die uns bei #DNIP bewegt oder zum Nachdenken angeregt haben.

1️⃣ Eine Möglichkeit zur Unabhängigkeit von der erratischen USA ist, die Daten zu Hause zu speichern, auf einem NAS. Davon möchte auch NAS-Hersteller #Synology profitieren. Einige der Funktionen sollen zukünftig nur noch mit von ihm gebrandeten Festplatten möglich sein. Aber dafür gibt es keinen technischen Grund, denn alte Platten funktionieren weiterhin.

Future Synology storage systems will require Synology branded mass storage.

I’ve never been a fan of these Taiwanese storage systems simply because file systems and redundancy technology could not be ascertained pre-sale.

Dismal Manor Gang has 2 TrueNAS Mini+ and a 45homelab.com (Storinator mob, storage for BackBlaze) hl4 4 slot available from bare metal to built & burned in Zen4 systems.

If Synology institutes hard drive lock-in, I'll have to finally move off the platform.

Does anyone have thoughts on power-efficient, middle of the line hardware for a small form factor server?

That or it's time to get a ridiculously large rack and turn my hobby into a sickness.

I like my #Synology but this pretty much guarantees I won't buy another. #enshittification

There's a great comment after the article where someone has broken down the reliability of the drives and alleges that you pay far more for a drive that is slightly worse.

I guess I’ll be one-and-done with Synology. I’ve got plenty of time but whenever I need to move on from the DS420+ I’ll probably build my own. When I got the Synology I was trying to care for my future self and limit the scope of my self-hosting, but I guess I’ll have take it on eventually. #SelfHosting #Synology #NAS
