  • I have limited my usecases for selfhosting and thrown money at the problem. The usecases are:

    • image hosting and sharing with the family
    • backups of our family computers
    • digital file hosting
    • media hosting

    The last one is expendable. The first three are backed up into the cloud. I use a Synology, thus throwing money at the problem. Their cloud backup just works.

    Edit: use cases I do not self host are a mail server for example. The stress outweighs the 12€/year I pay for the service.














  • Hi! I was in your situation in January. I went for a used two bay Synology 720+ model, that came with 10GB RAM and a used WD Red 4 TB WD40EFRX.

    The main reason I switched to a NAS was an easy way to share our children’s photos with my SO. Synology is perfect for this, because the photos app has face recognition and can search through location data, which is coming in handy with 25K photos.

    Second thing I wanted to do on the NAS was the whole backup strategy of our laptops. At the moment we rely on cloud backups, but I wanted to change this to a solid 3-2-1 strategy. On top the cloud backup never really worked on my SOs laptop.

    I had no ambition with selfhosting, but am familiar with Linux. At the moment I have a paperless instance and jellyfish running. I plan to put some shows for the kids on it, my CD collection and am ripping my DVDs.

    Until now the process was very smooth. Paperless has some minor hiccups I could iron out, but the whole Synology infrastructure is really solid.

    I picked the 720+ because the perks of a 723+ seemed negligible to me. This page offers a good comparison: https://nascompares.com/guide/synology-ds720-vs-ds723-nas-which-should-you-choose/

    Mir hat der ehemalige Chef für digitale Kommunikation mal erklärt, dass intern wie extern kommuniziert wird, da bei 300.000 Mitarbeitenden eh früher oder später Dinge nach draußen getragen werden.

    Und grundsätzlich fühle ich mich recht gut informiert. Alle Nörgler sollten mal eine Runde Simutrans spielen und versuchen Güterzug und Schnellzug auf einer Strecke flüssig zu koordinieren.

    Neue Ansage: „Aufgrund unseres Status als Ausbildungsbetrieb, verspäten sich die folgenden sechs Züge um 30 Minuten.“

    Ernsthaft: Gut, dass ihr ausbildet. Gut, dass du es hier mal postest, dass hinter dem Betrieb Menschen stehen, die Fehler machen. Das bringt in meinen Augen mehr als sämtliche PR Aktionen.

    Und viel Spaß mit DB Planet. Gibt es die Gamer-Gruppe noch?
