[Discuss] Mothballing Synology NAS



At least QNAP offer to one-click secure your installation with a Let's
Encrypt cert through their SSL management plugin - even though they sell
certs through the the same plugin/admin interface.

(ed. note: TLS/SSL does not prevent Spectre / Meltdown - it's just an
indication that QNAP are not 'crap' vendors if you consider Let's Encrypt
free certs the 'right thing' to do.)
