A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I just set up my first NAS -- a Synology 1522+, with 4x6TB drives in whatever Synology's custom raid is called where I lose one drive to redundancy.
So far, I mostly use if for my in-home Plex server (which finally lets me shut down my gaming rig at night while still letting me watch TV shows and listen to music to sleep, so big energy win there, I imagine). I'm considering running my own Matrix chat, PixelFed(?), maybe Mastodon and/or Lemmy on it for my local friends and family; but I'm still looking into solutions.
Would like to get off "Discord for everything", and I kind of miss what Facebook used to be in terms of just posting updates about my life and reading updates about other people's lives.
Not sure I trust Synology's built-in Chat and other replacement options to be as good as what I'd like, though, in terms of both quality and privacy/security. Happy to hear from folks with more experience!
