How to waste time
Here's how I lost few hours of my life.
Having been playing with self-hosting lately, I also installed Statping – to monitor all the things I self-host, but also to keep a track of them. It's cool little software, so I decided to add local devices too, including our Synlogy NAS.
That was long time ago. But few weeks ago I noticed that the disk in NAS is never spinning down. Worried about it's lifecycle I started looking on the Internet trying to figure out what could be the cause of it. I went deep down playing with various setting, various firmware versions, etc. But nothing changed, disk never went to sleep.
At the brink of giving up and declaring I have faulty equipment I tried removing NAS check in Statping. And that was it!
But the time spent is gone and I didn't learn much in the process.
