  • Outside ring a unifi ecosystem is going to be your next best bet. I have four cameras (poe) and the G4 doorbell (wireless). I run protect with a sata SSD drive on the cloudkey gen2+. Everything just pretty much works. I have not tried to use other brand cameras though. The experience is pretty consistent with other unifi gear. From my wifes perspective she has never complained and weve had it for 2 years now. It easy to navigate and always works.

    Only thing id note though is you probably want some kind of SSD for the camera storage. A harddrive is probably better long term but without an SSD the video takes longer to load and scrubbing video can get painful. ie your wife will get annoyed. Itll work with an hdd but its just noticeably less snappy.






  • Probably down voted because there is a pattern of Russian state media (look at source) and officials overstating capabilities for domestic and international audiences, sometimes masking technical failures or limited deployment with grandiose announcements.

    This can be seen more definively in Ukraine. Had Russia actually had the weapons and technology they claimed then the Ukraine war would have actually been three days and not on going 2+ years later.






  • Great so why can’t he take 30 seconds out of a year to say that? I’m sure people would understand. The issue everyone is having is the lack of updates. So essentially yes it is abandoned. No updates either way, no word from developer either way been over a year = abandoned.

    Great he responded to you but did he say when the next update will be? Or explain the lack of updates? I mean we could all makes guesses but the fact of the matter is it’s been abandoned and in its current state is broken. There is no reason to use it.

    Additionally this is hurting Lemmy in general. People will try to use sync for Lemmy because it’s familiar and not realize the issues they are having are with sync because it’s broken not Lemmy. Then stop using Lemmy. I know you’re well intentioned but you shouldn’t give people hope when you know nothing more than anyone else.


  • I mean all of that is good and well but basically all of this is just your assumption. Its nice that you “believe” this but you don’t speak for the developer.

    My issue is we have heard nothing at all from the developer. If the project was alive or just moving slowly I’d imagine we would hear something. Literally anything but we haven’t. If youre going to take people’s money be direct and just let people know what to expect. It’s not difficult to do. That’s great you sent issues to the developer when’s that update coming to fix it? This week, next year, never…


  • Not to say I’m not annoyed and they definitely should not be doing this except for their enterprise line. Would I buy another Synology again, no definitely not.

    However most “consumers” buying a NAS are already pretty tech savvy. When this issue happened to me I googled it and found and applied the script in 15 or so minutes. Run the script essentially once a year or so when major updates come along. Hasn’t been a huge issue. The issue will be if /when they block this script or other fixes.


  • I basically run this setup, Synology nas for storage and a nuc12 for proxmox. Things like pihole I run on both for HA. You will also have a much better experience using Plex on an Intel NUC with quick assist.

    As mentioned above the helper scripts will save you a ton of time. You should definitely check them out. Proxmox allows you to easily backup and restore. So its much easier to tinker and play around without taking down the whole network.
