The existing community at [email protected] may no longer be a viable option since the feddit.de server has been down for a while now. I've created [email protected] as a replacement. Mostly out of my own need for assistance! So if you're a Synology owner, head on over and subscribe

(and also help me fix my issue thanks)

I've had an issue with my router and had to replace it. Unfortunately, now my Synology NAS does not appear in the device list of the router or using Synology Assistant.

The server is connected using an Ethernet cable, so I would assume the reconnection would be automatic.

I have tried restarting the server, but it did not reconnect on successful boot.

I know it's still alive because I can hear the disks working on something, so the system is up.

Is there another way to restore connectivity?

Sounds like I may be able to connect the device to my desktop using an Ethernet cable, but to what end?

I realize it won't be like this forever, but while scrolling Lemmy I eventually come to a point when I start to see a lot of old posts and it's a perfect signal that I've done more than enough scrolling for the day

For me it's moving your bed away from the side walls so it's in the middle of the room. I had my bed to the side my whole childhood

Right now I use Feeder, but I want to add larger feeds like HackerNews or r/comics and if I do that then my feed gets overwhelmed with those much more frequently updated feeds.

I'd love an (Android) app with the ability to let the other feeds intermingle near the top of the sort with the larger feeds

Kind of a "sort my chronological per feed"

Question is probably too late and I'm not much of a stockpiler, this is more for curiosity of what others are thinking about

I know for me, the Kirkland brand whiskey is surprisingly good and also Canadian so I may go today and pick up a bottle (or at least check the price)

Started with RSS recently, and I've been using Feeder, but UI wasn't vibing with me so I wanted to explore other options

One that stood out was Tiny Tiny RSS, but I noticed that it's self-hosted

Which made me wonder, what are the other feed apps doing? I assumed no back end would be necessary since I can provide the link to the RSS XML

So what kinds of things are the servers doing?

Or am I misinformed and Tiny Tiny RSS is self-hosted because it is doing something beyond the usual feed readers

I've only just finished part one, so there's room for growth of course.

But, it feels like the author puts in grotesqueness at least once every chapter for no reason. For example, when the priest gets pushed over then kicked in the asshole so he shits his pants (and for those who haven't read, I do not mean he gets his ass kicked, I meant literally foot to asshole then shit comes out) and that's all that happens to him. He was then carried off to safety with no further injury. Why even write that. Sure, it could be some odd metaphor about how he's dirty just like everyone else but there are about a dozen better ways to get that across, surely.

I'm failing to see how such a crass book became an LGTBQ+ powerhouse of a musical. Surely there were other stories with similar narratives and less babies sniffing piss, right?

I suppose I don't want an actual explanation. I'm more ranting, but I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts

EDIT:

Finished the book. It was awful. I cannot fathom how this became one of the biggest movies of 2025, I really can't.

If you want my full review I wrote one on bookwyrm

I've become an evangelist for this game in the 24 hours since I learned about it. The fact that this two year old game only has 66 reviews on Steam is criminal. I think it is so much better than that

I first saw the game while watching Ludwig's "rating games that wanted to sponsor me" video, and I was immediately smitten by the concept of the rotating cards. It's similar to a deck builder in many ways but the order of the cards in the deck is predictable and adjustable and it is slightly more fast-paced than Brotato or Vampire Survivors.

The game isn't perfect, it seems like the developer used whatever means necessary to try and market it, including referral codes and asking to sponsor Ludwig, but it hasn't seemed to work. Which is almost a shame because the game deserves to be seen.

So give it a try, it's worth every penny, and then come back and tell me what you think

Pre-1.0 I had aluminum factories that took the waste water from aluminum scrap and fed it back to the alumina solution refineries. However, in my new 1.0 world I can't seem to get it to flow correctly.

I've tried several solutions, including:

• putting the waste water lower in the junction than the fresh water
• adding a valve to the waste water to prevent backflow
• adding a valve to the waste water to only supply the amount not provided by the fresh water

The only think I have not done yet is decrease the water extractor rates, mostly because I don't recall having to do that before when I used a valve.

Any tips? Anyone else had success in 1.0

Update: I believe I may have found a solution - I've added a fluid buffer just after the waste and fresh water merge.

waste       fresh
    \      /
     buffer
        | 
     refinery

This seems to give the pipeline a little wiggle room to settle, whereas without the buffer the fresh water would slowly fill in whenever the waste water wasn't at full production. The waste water would then back up, which meant production of aluminum scrap would back up, which meant that alumina solution would back up, and then meant the water would back up leading to a sort of deadlock With the buffer there's a little more wiggle room in the pipeline for excess water
