Re:The Synology End Game
on Saturday August 30, 2025 @02:55AM (#45072483)
I’ve been thinking more and more with synology’s recent changes that it would open up the market for some new entrants that are like the system76 of NAS that are:
- low power cpu (arm?)
- uses latest kernel and flavor of Linux distributions
- makes own modular hardware in smallish form factor
- basic support package with slower SLAs to more professional SLAs for enterprises, I would happily pay per month to prevent enshitification if I had guaranteed support and even more so if it bundled some zero trust encrypted cloud storage.

Can't speak for Robyn since that is competing in an already aggressively competitive landscape (webserving). Whereas introduction of RUFF/UV by astral has been exceptional.

Python's success is partly because it is easy to do things. It has a huge market share. Combining the speed advantage of one programming language, with another seems like a great idea.

In another alternative dimension, the Firefox guys 10 years ago would have capitalized on what their users wanted which is mostly around privacy and not being Google. Instead we got pocket, a re-hashed VPN and a bunch of privacy-degrading changes which slowly erode trust.

I don't understand how Apple have got this update process so wrong. I recently switched from a Ubuntu work laptop (that had live Kernel patching and occasional non-forced reboots) to big whole image OSX needing to update at the worst possible moment.

Thanks for the link, what are your thoughts on the position that France is in with a number of reactors out of action and requiring repairs? From an outsiders perspective, I am curious if it is really as simple as the French not keeping up with maintenance and it catching them at a bad time or are there issues with the reactor type or other influencing factors.
