The real shame is they didn't open source the app on decom.
You asked the drawback on a thread about Synology.
Doesn't look like it hooks into their unifi ecosystem which would be a big negative for me.
Edit: the pro does but what that even looks like idk
While I agree with the doing whatever you want on a custom build I very much doubt the reliability as per my comment here.

Personally I'll be moving to rack units when these finally kick the bucket.
Only 7 bays and small rack size. It's a NAS not like Synology + series.
Grab one of the 8 bays now, this won't affect anything currently released. I don't see me having to retire my 1813+ or 1819+ (both 8bay) anytime soon and both are 4+ years old without a hiccup.
The Unifi rackmount NAS looks pretty sweet imho.
The reason why Synology is great is their bulletproof reliability.
Sure you might be able to make a PC perform the same spec for spec but will it actually? And even with these devices, they are so far from Apple it isn't funny, you have to set up a fair bit still to make the most of them. Also why use a 500w psu VS low power consumption of a NAS device.
Honestly HDDs/SDDs are a disposable part of the backup ecosystem, I get that they want some extra money but there are already scripts to overcome some of the existing compability checkers in these systems.
I get why they do this sort of thing but it didn't stop us re-adding video station and h265 support back into our Synos.
Someone already made a script to overwrite the existing compatible drive checker so someone will write a new script to fix the new one.
This way my thought, I highly doubt they are getting none, just not looking at the proxy logs.
My point is the claimed narrative it isn't as bad as X. To me it seems the only difference is the person running the show.
But then you look at mastodon instances and there is no where near that level of behaviour.
Hell Lemmy is pretty civil if you block hexbear.
I reckon it would have been far sweeter if they were completely ignored IMHO. 1000% more brutal. Toxic people tend to need to put it out there.
I'm running a website that is getting a lot of bot traffic and found Cloudflare free rule tier to be a bit limiting. (5 custom rules with length limits)
Ive got subnets for major VPS providers to block and will run analysis against my traffic to build on these lists.
What do others do?
I'm contemplating my Cloudflared tunnel into Crowdsec to my app.
Edit: Adding in image of my analysis of the IPs scanning for vulnerabilities.
Reliability. We've put them in small businesses and they do their job very well VS a frankenpc NAS.
I have 2 8-Bay devices at home and they are so good for what they are. Silent, low power, bit of fancy utility for those that like it but reliable and quality. They age very well.
I also use the surveillance station with my cameras which all connected ootb fine. (mix of brands)
