One of my disk in my RAID6 array of my Linux server dropped from the disk array, so it was time to decide the future of my old and trusty server. I have been running a Linux server as my home storage for +15 years. But the family life is limiting my tinker time… So I decided to try an off-the-shelf storage solution (Synolog DiskStation DS918+), to see if this can serve my server needs, without the additional hassle of building and maintaining a Linux server.
Currently I’m running the NAS with 2x8TB WD Red in RAID1, and WD Black NVMe SSD 250GB as (read) cache.
Website was down for a few hours, deu to a glasfiber modem upgrade. Server seems happy after his first reboot in 2.5 years 🙂
KPN routers force their users to use 192.168.2.xxx IP range (with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask). So it took me some time to get all my 192.168.0.xxx devices to the new enforced 192.168.2.xxx range.
A BUG in SharpDX.XInput ci-ci217, resulting in issues with the left Thumb Stick, Left Trigger, and Right Trigger!Please stick to SharpDX.XInput v4.1.0-ci184 for now.
