with the old Skype on my MacBook Air I was inaudible, after the update to Skype 7.1 everything is fine
With the old Skype on my MacBook Air I was inaudible, and I had no idea why and how to change it, I guess, it was flawed somehow. Now with Skype 7.1 it’s just fine. I have no idea, why after all these years this piece of software is still not stable. Or did Apple…

why does www.obohu.cz/bible display the Tetragrammaton in the title areas in web browsers? THEY CHANGED THAT
I sent an e-mail note to the people running www.obohu.cz/bible, asking: Why do you display the Tetragrammaton (in Hebrew letters) in the title areas in web browsers? You do know, that for … religious Jews that is a rather bad habit, don’t you? It makes them rather avoid your library, and that should not be necessary, don’t you…

Synology NAS ssh access – all of a sudden one of the computers on my LAN wasn’t able to log in again
As I found out after quite some investigating and speculating, I ran into the NAS’s “auto block” capability. I had no idea I had logged into it a couple of times unsuccessfully, but that must have been it. As I was able to redisplay, I had tried to log in a couple of times and…

the Synology DSM / NAS “auto block” feature, its “block list”, and the missing “export” capability – pls add it soon!
Today I looked into my NAS’s block list, and it had 1280 entries. The “DSM” does not allow me to export that list. So I am not able to run evaluations on that list, I can not apply “business / data intelligence” on that list, and I am also not able to relate the attackers’…

Synology NAS ssh access – “hardware accelerated ciphers”
In the Control Panel within the area “Terminal & SNMP” there is now a checkbox labeled “Only use hardware accelerated ciphers“. But only my DS115j has this checkbox, my DS112+ and my DS213+ don’t have it. I have no idea, for how long this difference has been effective. Maybe from when I started using the DS115j – it’s the most recently…

Synology DSM desktop: removed everything unnecessary today
What is left? Package Center (it would show the number of packages to be updated) Control Panel (it would show necessary DSM updates, I think) Widgets: Recent Logs, System Health, Resource Monitor I can reach more Desktop item through the “Main Menu” AKA “Start button” on the top left.

OS updates / upgrades can always be a PITA – modified my .profile again to cope with Synology’s latest DSM changes
Within .profile I try to find out, where exactly (in which environment) “I” am operating. Once I know this, I can set up PATH depending on the environment. Of course on a Synology NAS based on a BusyBox with IPKG (GNU) extensions things look different to my Mac or to my OpenSUSE installations, but still:…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_your_own_device https://www.xing.com/jobs/unterschleissheim-linux-automation-consultant-devops-engineer-2656760 – this job spec in German mentioned BYOD and made me curious to look it up Bring your own device (BYOD)—also called bring your own technology (BYOT), bring your own phone (BYOP), and bring your own PC (BYOPC)—refers to the policy of permitting employees to bring personally owned mobile devices (laptops, tablets, and smart…
