How long should I expect a NAS to last?

My Synology NAS was running for 6+ years before I replaced it last year. And the only reason I replaced it was to upgrade the hardware to be able to act more like a home server running some more demanding services.

I've since given the NAS away to a friend who is still running it... As always back up your data just in case, but I wouldn't expect the hardware to crap out on you too soon

Why loneliness is bad for your health

Reply in thread

There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. If you're content being alone then that's not really loneliness, similarly having people around you constantly doesn't mean you can't feel a lack of connection and loneliness as well.

In other words, I agree with you, but this article seems to miss this distinction...

Not to scare you away, but I have experience getting Linux to run on a Surface Laptop 2 and... It's not exactly the easiest process...

For my machine it required a custom kernel to get the touchpad and keyboard working and it just always had one quirk or another.

Highly recommend Linux, but those surface devices need some specialized drivers....
