Nice to see a tech company actually getting punished for their anti-consumer policies.

I first heard about this update from Cory Doctorow's newsletter: https://pluralistic.net/2025/10/10/synology/#how-about-nah

Right on, if you can unload it for an upgrade then by all means... just to play devil's advocate though, if you can get it on your network and stash it where you won't hear it, maybe that's a less expensive solution, unless you think you can break even on it. If you've scarcely used it, the drives may not have the wear and tear of their actual age, and you could potentially get years more service out of it before you're forced to upgrade. Just a thought!

Where do you sell computer stuff like this nowadays? I haven't sold anything on the internet in a long long time, certainly not as specialized as a Synology server with hard drives.

I dunno besides ebay, craigslist, or hardware sales subs reddit-logo, seems like there would have to be other niche trading forums out there... dealing in person is always better, maybe put up a poster at a local coffee shop or library or places where geeks hang out?
