I believe if you create a crontab on a systemd system, it actually synthesizes systemd timers from the crontab entries


Yeah Synology is pretty good with that kind of stuff (we use one at work). They’ve really just got a Linux system with custom management tools on top. Of course for DIY purposes, self-building is still cheaper and more flexible though.


Interesting blog!

Clicked on your NAS article (one of the first linked ones) and spotted an error… you write that Synology NAS boxes don’t use standard RAID, but they do. They have official docs up on how to hook them up to a standard Linux system for disaster recovery (it’s just Btrfs or ext4 on mdadm RAID).

Probably not super relevant for you or most readers, but just thought I’d point it out :)




No you’re thinking of ‘active’, which surfaces posts with recent comments. Just scroll a bit on ‘hot’ and you’ll see it dredges up some old posts, even without recent comments


Nah, it’s definitely a thing in the Netherlands. I got my degree a couple years ago and we only had a few girls.


The hot algorithm is a bit bugged, it likes to throw in the occasional ancient post


Microsoft and Apple have offices around the world though, so it doesn’t really make sense


If you use WSL (which you should), you have a normal Bash, so it works


Ah, I understand now. The expression is evaluated like this:

  • $a == 1 ? "one" : $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • "two" ? "three" : "other"
  • "three"


It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.


Necessary because script kiddies are constantly hammering all the locks in the world.
