Hey man! No I haven't seen the post - I'll have a look tomorrow after work.
I hear good things about Synology. My biggest issue right now is that I have been using Crashplan for cloud backups for about 15 years, but it has become crap and can't handle the size of my backups. It started backing up at only 1-2 megabit per second and will take years to finish now. I am working on getting backblaze set up but I have to do a bit of rigmarole to get the cheaper non-server price. I have like 20-30TB to backup so I want the unlimited space.
The new mac is working fantastic with my current workflow going back and forth from Davinci Resolve to GPU intensive AI upscaling software. Technically I can get faster results with the GPU part upscaling with RTX 4090s, but for the rest of my work, the M4 just blows everything else away. It's a very pleasant computer to work on!
That's cool! I have been really impressed with the M chips since Apple launched them. I know there were some security issues with the earlier versions, but the performance is just phenomenal. I think Synology is kind of easy mode for a lot of people. If you have the skills (which I know you do), you can probably piece it together better and cheaper. @themarkymark turned me on to BackBlaze and I have it set up as an additional offsite backup for all of my servers. I think I pay like $10 per month and it stores all of my archives from Veeam.
