Synology 923+. Turns out I’m the only one that connects to it in the house. I don’t actually need it. I’m now retired and really only need some external drives or some HDD’s in a hard drive docking station. I just got a docking station. I’ll grab a couple HDD’s and be done with it. Sell the Synology

supports running dockers, running adguard DNS filtering, youtube-dl container and adblocker is such a time saver self hosted image hosting etc

so much potential lost... if you just use it as a "HDD on the network"

I have a DS220+ and I use it pretty heavily as a local plex server for music and videos. Actually barely use it as a backup solution (Time Machine kinda sucks, need to find a better solution for backing up my mac to it)

Having a Synology 2 bay NAS myself and also using the Time Machine feature - what do you find sucky about it?

From my experience it does work, although I never experienced it, say, using a Time Capsule or similar?

It corrupts all the time - does not seem to handle network changes/disconnects very well when Time Machine is doing its thing. I am currently facing (XYZ time machine folder is on the synology):

'Time Machine detected that your backups on “xyz Time Machine Folder” can not be reliably restored. Time Machine must erase your existing backup history and start a new backup to correct this.'
