Thanks for all voters. I expected more participants (compared to the number of followers) but it gives me here a good indication on what you want me to focus on. You may already seen that this week I made less blog posts as I didn’t have any quite big subjects to talk about or time to prepare.

I recently tested Photo Station on Synology because I was searching a solution to store my photos and accessible through internet with a web interface.
