Windows 10 update resolved an issue with Windows Defender that I was having. Running 10x faster now then it was before.

Still running Windows 10 Build 10158 - I know that 10159 and now 10162 have been released. I understand from @GregoryHall that he had to do an ISO build to get 10162. Since the RTM release date is just a few weeks off, I might just let it go and see.

I'm at 10162 right now. Working really well although they aren't releasing a new RSAT version until RTM.

I can't handle windows betas, they make me sad. I'll install the RTM when it arrives.

Windows 10 makes you sad? I'm pretty sure it basically is final now.

I am in the office in San Francisco. Gorgeous day out here. About 68 degrees and drizzle. Love it. Have my morning coffee. Just starting the day and I've been up for eleven hours already. That bit sucks.

Minion Queen

About the same here.

When do you people do the important things, like sleep? I mean even if it is only a 10 minute nap while you wait on the coffee machine... does that count?

I been up since 5am after getting about 4 hours of sleep. Looking forward to my early exit for today.

Minion Queen

Sleep is for the weak! We go 72 plus hours around here before that happens (of course I am the wus of the group and go to bed while they all work).

I have to work till 8PM in the office here. So I will be on 21 hours when I get to head for "home".

I'm working on punching an OpenVPN connection through "The Great Firewall" in hopes the boss will soon be able to check his email on his laptop while vacationing overseas...

Um, you can get in serious trouble for that. You need permission from the Chinese government for VPNs. They are very business friendly and would likely approve it, but you need the paper work in place first.

Well then... I guess I'm not working on getting a VPN up and running then. Good grief...

scottalanmiller

He is correct, China requires a request form and permission before any VPNs can be set up in the country.

Just had the most amazing lunch..... a fish and chips burrito!!

2nd crash in 2 days on our DS412+ Synology NAS - I'm rapidly becoming unhappy with this hardware.

scottalanmiller

Have you looked in the logs or anywhere to see what might have caused the crash?

scottalanmiller

I'm having "whipped coffee."

MattSpeller

@scottalanmiller logs end 40 minutes before we got the first report of issues, very very unhappy.

scottalanmiller

So that suggests a few things.

The logging system crashed.
You were hacked.
Thrashing / OOM.
Disk is full.

scottalanmiller

It's hard to tell but do you have SAR reports on that box? If so, check them. They often show what has happened in a case like this.

that's part of it, certainly
possible, though I can think of more profitable things to do with one's hacking talents
it's possible, it did run out of memory once before but a patch solved it
disk is confirmed not full, but good call.

Were I a betting man, I'd point towards some kind of error crashing it's higher functions but leaving disk shares intact. It seems to "crash" about 30 minutes before it ceases to serve files.
