Personally I've avoided using any Synology-specific functionality. It's not as transparent and seems kind of brittle. I feel like that's going to pay off because after a couple of years I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch to an open source solution instead, and I won't have to look for alternatives to systems I'm already using.

Org-level admin requirements are what stopped me from pursuing my own solution. Hopefully your approach will have better luck.


That's a shame. What was your product, and did you have any troubles with reverse engineering or did you not consider it?


Surely `rq` can't be far behind.


I was going to post this the other day, but my project[0] isn't quite the same as jq. I didn't even know about jq when I had a need for some easy JSONL text extraction. No aggregation or complex querying -- just extracting from arrays/objects in my data.

Sorry to disappoint? :)

Two maybe: one for the systems folk and another for data scientologists


Haha 100% sure there will be rq…


I think the joke was that it already exists.

rq is criminally underrated. It is a universal convertor between json, avro, cbor, message-pack, toml, yaml and csv.

It misses XML though, and activity in development ;)


wow, thanks!


It may not have happened to you yet, but someday you'll see a date somewhere other than this post.


This honestly has me laughing.


Most people have never had to replace the starter in their automobile, but the ones that have sure are glad it's not spitefully welded in place just to make things difficult for them.


If I remember correctly the replacing the alternator in a 2006 VM Touareg is something like that. Something like a 6k job if you have a shop do it because it requires dropping the engine. Also the alternator is liquid cooled and costs over 1k just by itself.


A vehicle starter's lifespan relative to the lifespan of the whole vehicle is probably very different than that of a component of a laptop relative to the laptop itself. As well as the cost of repair relative to the cost of buying new.


This is usually the part of the discussion where we get to have a laugh about "private courts".


That's absolutely true, and it definitely matters when you're designing something that will see productive use for the benefit of the people paying for it, but it's not obvious that that's the case here.


Hear me out...what if we could get both contracts?!


He's a former Java developer who is now accustomed to Scala, obviously he prefers that to Kotlin because it's what he knows...


do you have Scala and Kotlin reversed? Surely Kotlin is the trimmed down for foreign markets version of Scala.
