Shamed... It has been 1,5y since I have updated the #Obsidian Live Sync plugin.
If it ain't broke... right?
Finished updating it now on all clients and with some syncing back and forth, all is well now.
Love this platform!

Finally patching my production #Synology boxes to 7.3.2-up1 while working from home and there are not many users active.

Sometimes, just making a small impact, could have a big meaning. It’s not all about likes, followers or money. It should be about sending a message, helping, and creating.
Keep your data safe and your backups secure and immutable!
Big thank you 🙏🏻 to the whole Synology GmbH team and congratulations to all the winners!

Working on some new #Synology material on the topic of #ActiveProtect 1.2 and #DP340.

What is the most often situation that you need to restore a file from #backup? For me, accidental changes.
I opened an older file and completely forgot to rename/duplicate it before I started editing. After 2h, I saved the changes under a new file name, but the original was already changed due to autosave.
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness to the rescue! ABB restored the file back onto my scratch drive in seconds.
It's not a question of "if", but "when" will you need it!
#selfhosting
Some new #Synology gear arriving very soon… making cover art for the upcoming overviews.
💡 Adopt the 3-2-1-1-0 #backup strategy!
* 3 copies of your data
* 2 different storage media types
* 1 copy stored offsite
* 1 copy that's air-gapped
* 0 errors when you restore

My favorite #bastion tool is out with 5.3 versions bringing many new features including pushing same commands across multiple sessions.
But the biggest change for me is that we finally got a change log page as well!

Looks like #Portainer is making some cosmetic and feature changes with 2.41 STS version. LTS version coming in August.
Time to test the new #Synology #ActiveBackupforBusiness 3.2 platform following yesterday rollout, bringing more than a few fixes, as well as a handful of new features
A bit of #Docker #PatchSatuday and docker image building happening on Friday!
Love the new #Ghost blog social media share button(s) as part of the default theme that helps the visitors quickly share the content.
I do hope that the leading X button will be replaced with #Mastadon!
It is interesting to see that a decent amount of users are still looking for #Synology #DSM 5.x and 6.x installations.
Some are getting old 15+y old devices just to stay on-prem and not put their data into commercial cloud services, but with RAM and HDD prices going wild it is no wonder.
I have all the DSM installations backed up for those major versions (apart from 7.x that is still accessible).
New #Synology #APM 1.2.1-71852 update has arrived.

Focusing on feature fixes as well as M$ EWS deprecation in October of this year
