Aho says you need to do this in your free time?

it’s podman-compose instead of podman compose

Don’t use it, it’s not a full replacement. The script is barely maintained and not really “official”.

I think before switching from Docker to Podman you should first get proficient in Docker, because Podman is not for beginners (yet).

Installing Docker on a QNAP device is straightforward, thanks to the integrated Container Station application. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Install Container Station: Log in to your QNAP device’s web interface (QTS), and open the App Center. Search for “Container Station” and install it.

2. Enable SSH: If you need SSH access, go to the Control Panel > Telnet / SSH, and enable the “Allow SSH connection” option. Click “Apply” to save the changes.

3. Create a Docker Container: Once Container Station is installed, you can create Docker containers using the Container Station user interface. Go to ‘Containers’, click ‘Create’, and select an image from the available registries.

4. Configure Network Settings: Container Station supports multiple network modes and VLAN for flexible deployment. You can manage these settings according to your need.

5. Manage Containers: After creating your Docker containers, you can manage them through the Container Station interface, where you can start, stop, and configure your containers as needed.

For detailed instructions and the latest updates, refer to the official QNAP Container Station guide. It provides comprehensive information on using Container Station, including creating, managing, and deploying Docker containers.

You should be able to run syncthing in docker on qnap. Which model and software version is it?

Keep in mind that sync is not a backup, neither is RAID.

6-7 years in sysadmin, IT consulting and coding each.

Since I got older this got better. One benefit I guess?

Stress and Insomnia 😇

You can use Bitwarden or even KeePassXC to generate OTPs on the desktop.

With the Aegis Android app you can even use your phone in addition to that.

It’s not clear how they’re making enough money to stay afloat.

Yes it is. It is basically marketing for their embedded products which they sell as whitelabel apps for makers of cars, satnavs and other GIS applications.

It’s like an athlete getting lame.

Oh wow, that’s a pretty cool analogy. Stealing that :D

Others might not be able to understand this loss as they see them just being on their level

They even sometimes tell me how smart I am and that… triggers me even more. Bitch, I’m dumb, if you think that’s smart you really offend me. Deep down I know that they mean well and think they’re giving me a compliment, but it still stings.

imagine what they didn’t find!

Now check the other mini PCs from other random Aliexpress, Banggood, Gearbest and Temu vendors…

It’s FOSS.

Would have been my suggestion as well.

I don’t only feel less intelligent, I am less intelligent. My IQ dropped about 20%, which is noticeable by everyone including me.

The most annoying thing is that it feels like my brain is underclocked. Some Ritalin helped for a while with that but I had to stop taking it because of the risk for sudden death in conjunction with my other meds and conditions, which is something I wouldn’t like to experience.

However even with enhancing drugs I still am not the 80% which my IQ test says, I feel more like half of what I used to be. It’s really detrimental to self worth knowing that I used to be smart and now I’m “just average” even though years of therapy told me it’s OK to be average.

Aww yeah, kidney stones suck. I’m glad I could mitigate them by becoming vegetarian and consuming less salt. Doesn’t work for everyone though. Which kind of stones did you have?

I survived a drug induced coma and since then my brain just misses a lot of cells. I once had a pretty high IQ and nowadays I can be happy I remembered to take my pills in the morning. The most I can do is a low level sysadmin job, for everything else I basically lack the brains.

It’s not really something I have experienced in a past tense, I experience this shit every single day. Hate to be ridiculed for my bad memory especially. My coworkers don’t know that and regularly make fun of me.

If it wasn’t written in bash… 😢

I would make Debian and Arch be deterministic like NixOS, but with a different language and less overhead. I really like the principle but the implementation is subpar.
