  • Speeding up RAID migration on a Synology DS414 NAS | richardglover.co.uk
    Notes
    I’ve had a Synology DS414 NAS for a few weeks now, this post is about how to change the default settings of mdadm, the tool used to manage software RAID, to speed up the process of migrating between RAID levels.

  • How to manually mount a USB Hard Disk, including a disk that was part of a RAID1 array - SynologyWiki
    Notes
    This wiki shows you how to manually mount a USB Drive enclosure containing a Hard Disk. The term "mount" is the Linux term for adding a data device to a system so that its contents are navigatable. The procedure also describes the steps necessary if the Hard Drive in the USB enclosure was previously part of a working RAID 1 configuration (e.g. removed from another Synology Server). The same procedure will also probably work for RAID 0 drives, but I have not tested that.

    Notes
    Google Cloud Storage is a new service for developers to store and access data in Google's cloud. It offers developers direct access to Google's scalable storage and networking infrastructure as well as powerful authentication and data sharing mechanisms. Developers can store objects of any size and manage access to their data on an individual or group basis using Google Cloud Storage.

  • git-annex
    Notes
    git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.

  • Look! Store Your Books in the Rafters | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles
    Notes
    We were charmed to the core over this ingenious book storage idea. Yes, these are just planks of painted plywood nailed to the supports for the loft above. They create perfect cubby spaces to store books, baskets and even small lights. Since we're in California, it would probably be a good idea to secure everything in place so it doesn't shake right off.

  • Amazon S3 Experiment at an end for now – Jason DeFillippo
    Notes
    "If I finished putting my archives on S3 it would cost me well over $200 a month. I’m not even going to get into much deep math here because all I gotta tell you is that there are 1 TB USB 2 External drives on Amazon for under $150. So I can buy a new TB every MONTH, copy a backup to it and ship it offsite and let it sit and it’s cheaper than S3"

    "And Tac Bac - Tactical Canned Bacon is the very best canned bacon we've ever tasted. Not mushed up like dog food, this bacon is in actual strips - blessed with the magic of preservatives to last over 10 years in the can. Sure, you have to refrigerate after opening, but we bet you'll eat it all too quick to worry about that. Tac Bac - Tactical Canned Bacon - the zenith of canned bacon! "
