  • Absolutely drink a lot of water. One general starting point I read awhile back, focusing on people predisposed to kidney stones, was to divide your weight by 2, and drink that amount in ounces every day. If you exercise, it recommended 1 liter/hour, and that didn’t count towards your daily water needs.

    Also, along with cranberry juice, add some lemon juice to the water at least once per day. This will also help with breaking up stones and keeping them from forming. You can keep the juice in an ice tray in the freezer to make it a bit more handy. The bottled lemon juice is terrible compared to fresh, at least in the US.

    We have one of these! Saw a pic on Reddit and had it delivered within a week. We actually use it all the time for things that shouldn’t go in the dishwasher. A few things:

    • They’re expandable, so they can go over single and double sinks.
    • They’re generally made of “just strong enough” metal, to the shelves sag. Have had some heavy stuff on there, so it’s still pretty solid.
    • It never looks anywhere near this organized.
    • Stuff stays on it way longer than necessary, but it does eventually get put away… when we have company over.



  • I’ve looked into NFS multiple times. I work in HPC implementation and believe me I know about SMB/CIFS performance (or lack thereof!)! I just haven’t had the time to figure out ID mapping. What NFS version do you use, and how do you handle file ownership on the shares? I suppose it’s all read-only, so that would make it a bit easier?


  • This sounds pretty great, TBH. I think I’m probably tied to Synology for the foreseeable future with my parents’ and my NAS being each others off site backup. I know there are other ways to do it, but the investments are already made on both ends. Plus, they’re retired, so the 1522 with 18TB drives wasn’t a small expense for them!
