If your Synology NAS is in Raid, up-sizing your drives is dead simple.
Pop out one of your current, smaller drives. Pop in a new, bigger drive. Wait for Disk Station to migrate data over to the new drive (note that this can literally take days depending how much data there is). Then do the same with the next old, small drive and the next one until all old, small drives are replaced with new, big ones.
This will work as long as your current drives are not like 24 TB or whatever the upper limit is these days. In that case, you need more bays.
After this is done, move all the data from your externals onto your Synology NAS.

I’m in a similar situation with my 218+ so I’m interested to hear some answers. It’s still running great though so I don’t need to replace it soon but I like planning ahead

Do you know if you can import and edit STL files with 3d experience?
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 1 month ago:
I’m intrigued but confused. What’s the difference between 3DEXPERIENCE and xDesign? Are they the same thing or different? Do you need both or just one or the other? They’re called “packages” so do you need some kind of base install and then choose which package to put on top of it?
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 1 month ago:
I got a 3d printer about a year ago and looked into CAD software and came to the exact same conclusion you just did. I ended up using Plasticity. I thiink I paid $150 for a year of updates. But there are still two major drawbacks: first is it’s not parametric, as you said, but more importantly you can’t import stls and edit them. You can export stls, but you have to make them from scratch. You can technically import an stl but it’s impossible to edit. Oftentimes I find a design online but I want to tweak it to my purposes but I can’t do that.
I’d love it if Free CAD had a better UI. It’s just so frustrating and hideous to use.

But few people know that a considerable chunk of that market—including three of the six most popular VPNs—is quietly operated by an Israeli-owned company with close connections to that country’s national security state,
But we’re not gonna tell you which ones!
- Comment on Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication 3 months ago:
I currently have all of my 2FA codes in Pass except for my Proton account itself, which I have in Aegis, backing up to my home server.
It looks like you can easily export from Aegis to Proton Authenticator and you can use PA without a Proton account, which I think I might do. I don’t want to use my PA app with my Proton account to hold my Proton account 2FA code. I’ll end up locked out of the house with the keys inside.

- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 5 months ago:
Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom “install this app on your tv and log in”, which is exactly what Plex does.
I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.

Dude how the hell am I supposed to walk my mom through setting up tailscale on her Roku?
And what if you have multiple friends all sharing each others libraries?
This is not a feasible solution let alone a “very easy” one.

I designed and printed a fender for my kid’s bike. It would be totally usable as a fender but he’s a savage so he broke the first one within 30 seconds of me installing it. Then I changed the design to add more support and that one lasted a full hour before he broke it off. So I’d like to print the same design again in a new material. I think either of these two would work, as they would put up with more abuse in different ways. one would be much harder and the other more forgiving.
I don’t love the idea of the toxic fumes. I don’t want to get an enclosure and the printer is in my home office off of my living room. I could crack a window and let it run overnight but that sounds inconvenient.

- Comment on X is reportedly blocking links to secure Signal contact pages 8 months ago:
I’ve been using Signal since like 2016 when it was also my sms messenger. I’m also a federal employee. I’ve tried so many times to get people to use it and no one did that I eventually gave up trying. Until 2 weeks ago. Now I have well over 100 Signal contacts. Mostly government employees but a lot of others as well.
