I tried going self-hosted but Google Drive is just too convenient

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 22:00:12

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority A network-attached storage (NAS) is supposed to give you an alternative to cloud storage — one that’s safer, more private, and free from monthly subscriptions. A lot of home users may still consider those strange black boxes nerd territory, but Synology wanted to make the transition easier for Google Drive users. Its own alternative, deceptively named Synology Drive, is made to offer Google Drive-like storage. While it sounds compelling in theory and is genu

The drives are based on Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform, which "incorporates Seagate’s unique implementation of HAMR to deliver mass-capacity storage at unprecedented areal densities of 3TB per disk and beyond." Seagate's press release is focused mostly on the large drives' suitability for AI-related data storage—"AI" is mentioned in the body text 21 times, and it's not a long release.

The Gottorf Globe and its reconstruction

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-27 18:16:07

The Gottorf Globe was known as an astronomic marvel some 350 years ago. The first planetarium in history is a synonym for Friedrich III’s cosmopolitanism, under whose sovereignty Gottorf became one of North Europe’s most significant royal courts and a cultural centre. The virtually authentic replication, now located close to the Museum Island, still doesn’t cease to impress visitors. Casually expressed, Friedrich III wanted to understand the connection between the earth and the sky. Thus, the s

macOS Tahoe: Reports of FireWire’s death not greatly exaggerated

How dead is FireWire support in macOS Tahoe 26? As dead as the iPod, as far as the Mac is concerned, which is at least a little sad. Stephen Hackett checked. In classic 512 Pixels fashion, he’s conjured together a real world demonstration using a battle-tested FireWire 800 cable-connected drive, two Thunderbolt adapters including a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 dongle, and a Mac. Woof. The result? A drive that correctly appeared as several volumes on macOS Sequoia just looks like an adapter to nowhere on

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

news.ycombinator.com Introducing Tyr 2025-08-06 19:07:13

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes. A driver that we now introduce to the community at large in a very early stage.
