Subj : Synology DS1010+

I went to my local electronics thrift shop looking for a new stereo 
receiver, and on a whim picked up a Synology DS1010+ for $110.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THESE THINGS?

I thought I was getting a RAID enclosure. It's that, plus it's got automatic 
backup to cloud, Windows and VMWare backup agents a web/proxy server, 
Torrent client, docker containers, DNS, directory and RADIUS servers, an SSO 
server and a VPN server - and more!

I had 4 2TB drives laying around from my retired desktop PC and a couple of 
external drives, put them into it and created one of Synology's SHR RAID 
volumes.

What's exciting is being able to use NFS volumes on Synology with Proxmox. I 
was trying to share a volume for backups via SMB, which is limited, and DD- 
WRT's NFS implementation is reportedly slow.

Today's project is to figure out how to trunk 2 1gb ethernet ports to my DD- 
WRT.

Later this week, I'm replacing my powerline ethernet network with Cat6 from 
my office to the downstairs cable modem. It's going to be a *good* week.
