Yep, used Skygrabber, you could filter out files depending on extensions, filenames etc and could narrow out what you wanted. Still had no real way of knowing what you'd end up with as you were effectively just passively listening on the satellite traffic. It was wild as you could fill out a 40 gig drive overnight without issues in the era where people were downloading a MP3 album for hours.

If you had real shitty internet back in the day (read 56k modem) and you liked to play russian roulette you would dump satellite traffic with a skystar2 DVB-S card. You never knew what you'd get realistically, found some true gems underneath mountains of coal in the day of (still) unfiltered internet.

Those two are really the only good use cases today for facebook. Insane how Marketplace pretty much overnight almost killed local listing sites. Events I don't see good alternatives, don't have much hopes for that one, time will show

I just switched to Bazzite yesterday and it's insane how far linux has come. Next-next and everything works, even on a nightmare combination of hardware (Lenovo Legion half assed uefi, amd apu+ nvidia gpu).

To be frank I have used it since it started way back and it continues to have the best user experience among messengers. I myself don't use it for any crucial information but as a messenger with it's featureset it's second to none. When a better alternative pops up which will have a better UI and such an extensive featureset I will probably switch over

For the first time in a long time I might stick seeing the state of Linux today, especially Plasma 6. I'm eyeing Fedora 40 or Bazzite, tried Kinoite and pretty much everything I need works out of the box, the only thing I need to figure out is OneDrive.

How down-puttingly assuming of you to know me or my country who in its entire long history never invaded someone and was mostly a vassal for others. We gained independence after a bloody civil war which tore the country apart and saw its fair share of genocide, during which the whole world stood by the sidelines. No, muslims are not the only victims of this cruel world.

No, I generally don't comment on politics exactly because it breeds polarizing comments like this, but this open call for death for any side is horrific from my point of view, who saw what it does to a nation. This outlook of complete eradication of the other side is what is preventing any possible long lasting peace, and truthfully if the people don't recognize it there won't be anybody left to see it. As it currently stands there will be no peace until one side completely displaces the other, which is not what I or the vast majority of the world want.

Who in their right mind celebrates kills on humans, in the end only regular people get harmed in any conflict, never the instigators from both sides

Shout out for Smart Tube, the best YT app on smart boxes/android TVs, never had any issues

Now that you say it like that, why do purely singleplayer games need internet connectivity at all beside DRM and shovong DLCs down peoples throats

I'm writing this post because I've gone through all the usual troubleshooting tips and I'm at an dead end.

I was cleaning up my DS216j and checked if there were any new updates and stumbled by accident that the NAS didn't auto update to the newest version as per the release notes for that model. It was stuck on 7.1.1-42962 Update 6 so I manually updated it to 7.2.1-69057 Update 1 as suggested by the notes and here the issue began.

I knew something was off as soon as I saw the app images corrupted

Going to the package center it can't connect to it and is throwing the following error:

Connection failed. Please check your network and time settings, or refer to this article for further information.

For pretty much any app it throws the following description:

DSM update can't do a version check and is failing as seen below

Synology service status page says everything's up. The device itself has access to the internet (NTP syncs time, Configuration backup is working) and I can curl webs sites from synology normally via SSH so I'm a bit puzzled.

EDIT: Upon digging a bit further on the Synology forums it appears I'm not the only one affected as there are other reports for pretty much the same thing
