Batch upload videos to Youtube from Synology DS

Image
Like many people, I thought it would be great to backup my videos to my Synology DS , and then have the DS upload them to youtube. Infact, the documentation claims Photostation 6 can do this from withing the DSM. Sadly it turns out that you can only send them one at a time to Youtube from Photostation. My workaround has been: Install Cloud Sync package on Synology. Set up my GDrive account in CloudSync to sync in one direction (upload from Synology only). On the DS, copy a batch of movies from their usual directory to the new sync directory for GDrive. Sit back and wait, as synology moves all those files to GDrive. The next day, go to Youtube, click upload.  Select, 'upload from Photos'. Here I find all the movies that synology moved to gdrive. Youtube still has to process them, but the batch upload is done, and the processing doesn't take too long. When processing is done, I remove the movies from the sync directory on DS, which seems to automatically d

On the homogenisation of time

Three stages of before during and after, are naturally occurring phenomenon. We live in the entropic one way street that is called the passing of time. Our universe, galaxy, solar system, and planet all rotate through time, so it's normal for humans to have evolved biological underpinnings that are dependent on these three stages. It can be felt in the subconscious urges that we experience eventually as hunger, or desire... The before. The ecstacy of the now, during. And the denouement, the after. Consciously accessed experiences, manifest as future memory, working memory and attention, and short and long-term memory. These distinctions reflect the rising and falling of cycles, their repetitive nature, the foundation of life itself, life as we know it, complete with the cycle of life and death, growth, maturation, renewal. The psychological impacts of these three stages have been studied and exploited to generate compulsive behaviours, consumerist behaviours, by stimulating and pro

Air China Rant

I was going to send this to AirChina, but that seems pointless now. A quick search of the web brings up hundreds (probably more like thousands) of complaints about service quality. I'll just add mine here. To AirChina, I am composing this to you onboard flight CA861 to Geneva, direct from Beijing. I am using a laptop computer, having just been informed by the flight attendant that cell phones (even in flight mode) cannot be used at any time during the flight. I am not sure if I am being singled out for some reason, as I have seen a number of passangers reading text on their cell phone screens throughout the flight. I listened to music during the flight to Beijing, and never had any complaints from the service staff. The cabin staff chief assures me that I can use an ipad, a tablet computer, or a laptop… just not a cell phone (even in flight mode, which means all radios turned off). This is the first time that I have encountered this policy on any airline. It's like a ru
