  • Then there is QNAP. Apparently their system QTS is not as polished as DSM, but everything needed should still be there. There’s similarly priced, similarly equipped TS-462. It’s just dual-core CPU, but has more RAM (not upgradeable though) and it seems it can accept M.2 as storage at least. As per internet research, the build quality is just as good as Synology.

    I have the QNAP TS-462. It’s my first and only NAS so I don’t have any points of comparison for you. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I can try and answer for you.

    I do want to point out that the RAM is upgradable, but, unintuitively, only on the smaller 4GB RAM SKU; the 8GB RAM SKU has the memory soldered on.

    I learned this the hard way and had to return the first one that arrived, but I currently have the memory maxed out at 16GB.











  • I have multiple calendars, but I’m not exactly happy with my setup so I’m interested in what kind of answers you get.

    I have maintenance calendars for both the house and my car for things like replacing filters, cleaning fans, changing oil, etc. It’s mostly regular recurring maintenance, but I also add any car projects in the car maintenance calendar (e.g. replace head gasket, overhauled cooling system) for record keeping.

    I have a foraging calendar where I note when and where I’ve found different things e.g:

    • July 11th Chanterelles National Forest
    • Sept 3rd Pawpaws, State Park

    After that I have a Personal calendar which is where I pretty much dump everything else like Dr appointments, friends travel plans, reservations, etc.
