Yip, and you can just use YSlow (http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/) for firebug and it will tell you all this and more for free in about 10 seconds along with detailed information and links on how to fix the problems.

The thing is these corporates would rather hire 10 graduates at a third of the price than experienced developers. At the end of the day, like anything else in life, you get what you pay for :)

In response to: Synology - automatic indexing via synoindex

Elisha Sessions [Visitor] · http://freakytrigger.co.uk
Hi there,

This looks like exactly what I need, but I can't get it to work!

First I had the logging problem mentioned above, so I commented out all the lines about logging.

Then I got this message:

thething> perl update-syno.sh /volume1/video
WARNING: nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM video WHERE path like '/volume1/video/misc/fir...

HINT: Use the escape string syntax for backslashes, e.g., E'\\'.
Can't call method "entry" on an undefined value at update-syno.sh line 72.

What am I doing wrong? One thing i did which seems a bit weird is that I created a new shared folder called "Extensions" and uploaded the script there. I don't know if that was necessary or correct, but it seemed like the only way to get my setup to match yours.

In response to: Android: 3G Watchdog

Thanks, this was just what I was looking for. Will it automatically switch off mobile internet at a predefined point?

I've just ordered a Droid. I've been looking around and Locale looks good for people like us -- without unlimited data plans. It'll force the phone into wi-fi mode when the GPS detects you're at a specific place, like your home, office with wi-fi, cafe, or whatever.

For those of you who have the epoll error, try getting the package from another feed. I got mine for the DS110j at http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno0844mv6281/cross/unstable/

Reinstall with ipkg install squid...(etc).ipk

In response to: D-Link: The worst NAS - DNS-series

Agreed [Visitor]
I've bought the DNS-313 1,5 years ago. It works with my 1,5TB drive. So you think, oh, well someone got it to work?
Ehm, well, sorta.. attached as USB drive it works yes..

As LAN not really. I've a 14.000songs large MP3 collection and use it's iTunes server. Every now and then(sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1 hour) you simply have to restart your DNS-313. And I mean not simply reboot, since web interface doesn't work anymore once it hangs, but reall disconnect from the power supply, and then restart..

Also copying files... as USB it works..yes.. but as pure NAS it doesn't work that great, throughput in MB/Sec is not even half of the throughput when I use it's USB function. So it's not really working as a NAS because the speed is around 15% of a Synology NAS..
as USB the speed is around 30-35% of a Synology NAS..

No, I'm not making advertisement for Synology, I just write down plain field experience facts!

Anyway, it does work as storage device, your files are safe on it, it's not like it's deleting files or anything.. security of your files depends on your HDD manufacturer.. But the DNS-313 features are SLOW SLOWER SLOWEST... so, unless speed is no issue for you, go ahead, and buy it.. But if you say:"ehm, I rather want 40MB/sec throughput when copying files instead of 8MB, because why else do I have SATA drives???" then stay away from D-Links DNS-313

As for other products the previous writer mentioned.. I can't second on that.. I have a DIR-855 and it works like a charm with network printers, Synology NAS, etc...

So it's really their NAS team screwing up things.. But that's with most manufacturers.. they have some good equip, and some bad... overal high quality throughout the product range is rather seldom..

Personally, can't actually think about even 1 company that never produced a bad product.. so, D-Link is just like many others... and has produced a DNS-313 which is far beyond it's competitors quality.. but it doesn't mean it's overall a bad company

In response to: DDR2 RAM expansion for Synology DS1010+

David [Visitor]
I just upgraded my 1010+ with the exact same memory (per a Newegg review) and also have a blinking blue LED. Did you have to reset the 1010+ for it to accept the upgraded RAM?

I'm having the very same problem than SteveR and Paul
squid -N -d 1
FATAL: comm_select_init: epoll_create(): (38) Function not implemented

Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE23): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.010 seconds = 0.010 user + 0.000 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 0
Aborted

Trying to run it on a DS209.
Any ideas? Perhaps it's a limitation on recent kernels or libc...?

Thanks in advance!

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)

Worth mentioning - if you have a DG834G (mine is a V2, don't think it matters) then you cannot manually adjust the SNR.

Found the answer... I set my relative path one level up (../../../Classes/classes.jar) and pointed to "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home" in the JDK selection.

Note: I used "sudo find . ! -name . -prune -type l -exec rm {} \;" to remove my previously created symbolic link that was wrong.

Jaguar [Visitor]
I upgraded my 1010+ with the same SODIMM, KVR800D2S5/2G, and my 1010+ doesn't boot any more! I just obtain a blinking blue LED.
How many components do you have on this DIMM (on the two sides) ? Sixteen (128M x 8-bit) (eight on each side) ?
