It apparently doesn’t allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn’t appear to like to use any sleep states.

Key word, is idle.

Synology… and HDD hibernation don’t really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won’t let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.

Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)

None… because I don’t see any of them. Ever.

If I were subscribed to them, I might see them.

But, I do not see them. EVER.

I use twitter. So, let me piss on mastadon. I use reddit. So, let me piss on lemmy. /s.

Seriously, stop pissing on alternatives just because they don’t work for you. More choice, is generally a good thing (with the exception of streaming services…)
