what a relief, that my Synology DS115J had no hardware damage
https://www.synology.com/products/DS115j It was the firmware “only”, that had somehow experienced something strange and hard to reconstruct. The data were still on there, just the firmware set-up got to get re-established, no big deal – but I was really worried, until I knew that for sure. Of course, if I had kept all my NASs in…

my Synology DS115J’s DSM had crashed, needed re-installing and re-setup

the “computer repair for a friend” scheduled for this morning 08:30 cost me 6 hours
The computer appeared incredibly slow, it appeared to me, that unwanted pop-ups showed up in the browsers (IE + Firefox), removing McAfee seemed impossible (we wanted to replace it with proper AV software); after like 2 hours I decided, the notebook was highly infected and need restoring from the recovery partition; restoring from the recovery…

“salem aleikhum – aleikhum salam” – I will miss that greeting in this post-Hamburg era
