N150 are they really that good?
A N150 PC is head and shoulders above a Synology NAS for running Plex Media Server. Use a Syno NAS for storage, but run PMS on a different system. The N150 is a more powerful CPU than the Intel Celerons or AMD Rxxxx CPUs used by Synology. Furthermore, the Intel Graphics in the N150 is more capable t

Migrating from Synology: What would I probably be missing from DSM?
I switched from a DS1522+ to a Ugreen 4800plus running Unraid, and I can’t say I miss anything. Once you get past the small learning curve, it’s perfectly fine. Another option would be ARC Loader with Xpenology. I tested that before Unraid, and it worked perfectly. I’m not sure about the backup prog

Is this NAS still worth it
Way too old, and do NOT shop for new Synology. Last generation is basically Synology's "death date". People are going "what the fuck is this dude going on about?" Well, I'm going on about Synology requiring the use of their own branded HDDs and NVMEs moving forward just to access basic features. So

What I'm running on my DS1522+
Thank you for your reply and sounds like I am on the same journey you have been on! Touch wood, Tailscale just works perfectly and Ive not noticed any issues with latency or packet loss, only with Plex, but then again the DS1522+ was never designed to do that well. For the containers, I only use Por

First NAS + Local AI Setup — Synology vs UGREEN vs Others?
TBH, grab a Minisforum N5 Pro or another equivalent. Then you can run MUCH larger models on the Radeon 890M iGPU than on any consumer GPU. But you'd need a 3rd party OS (unraid or truenas usually) so overall don't expect any personalized support, not from Minis, certainly not from the OS developer.

Hardware assistance
I had a few Synology boxes over the years before their PR disaster of forcing people to use their drives and then backpedaling. My current box is a DS1522+ with their OS, DSM. For my next NAS, looking either a Ugreen box or TrueNAS as DIY build. There’s also Xpenology which is open source very simil

Music server
I am using Roon(with my personal library+tidal), it's currently running on a DS1522+ in docker, but thinking of migrating it to a LXC in the future. The user experience is nothing short of amazing. The track selection it does on it's own is just light years ahead of any other music streaming service

J’ai un synology ds1522+ et un autre avant ça. Points importants à regarder: que veux-tu faire avec ? si VM il va te falloir quelque chose de costaud acheter de la Ram ? Dernièrement, synology a eu beaucoup de mauvaise publicité car ils ont voulu imposer des disques certifiés synology et la non comp

Docker + 5.2 = ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE???
Lol thats wild, the one that works for me still is my DS1522+. I just double checked to confirm, yeah it's on the latest. Linuxserver.io version: 5.2.0_v2.0.12-ls454 It also appears to be broken on my mini PC in my workshop, I'm getting connection refused there, not even the ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE Edit: w
