My Synology DS221j I bought in 2021 is outdated today. As Synology's most entry-level NAS, its performance today is barely able to support any applications beyond the Samba service, and it doesn't support Docker. Therefore, I decided to buy a new NAS.
I had considered buying the Synology DS925+, but Synology's new 2025 models introduced a restriction that only allows the use of their own branded hard drives. So Synology was ruled out as an option. I also considered the UGREEN NAS and install a third-party OS. However, the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is priced at $699, and even with a Prime Day discount, it's still $519, which isn't a great value. After some research, I decided to build a NAS myself.

我在2021年购买的群晖DS221j已经有些过时了，并且221j作为群晖最入门级的NAS，其性能在今天基本无法支持除了Samba服务之外的其他应用，而且它本身也不支持Docker。于是我准备更换一台新的NAS。
我本考虑购买群晖的DS925+，然而群晖在2025年新品中加入了仅支持群晖自家硬盘的限制，于是我直接排除了群晖的选项。我也考虑过购买绿联NAS并安装第三方系统，但是绿联UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus原价$699，即使是Prime Day打折也需要$519，性价比并不高。经过研究之后，我决定自己组装一台NAS。

I repainted the fender on my Miata. The outcome was great, but there were all kinds of problems throughout the process.
There are all kinds of automotive paints on the market, the marketing strategies of the manufacturers make it even more complicated. Beginners can easily get confused and choose the wrong product or the wrong method of application. Furthermore, unlike mechanical repairs, painting doesn't have a strict procedure to follow, each tutorial on the web has it's own style. The material, the application process, and even environment can make the outcome drastically different.
In this article, I will use the fender on my Miata as an example, to illustrate the basics of paint, the different types of paint, application process and common problems. This article will focus on using aerosol cans and common household tools to achieve the best results possible. Professional application and equipments are not in the scope of this article.
This article is based on my personal research and experience, and is not a professional tutorial, the content may be mistaken. When using paint product with toxic contents, please use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow the guidelines of recycling and disposal.

我重新喷涂了我的Miata上的一块翼子板。最终的效果非常不错，但期间遇到了不少问题。
市面上有各种类型和品牌的油漆可供选择，再加上厂商的市场营销策略，让类目更加纷繁复杂。这让新手很容易迷失，造成选用了错误的产品或错误的施工方式。另外，喷漆不像修理机械那样有严格的步骤和流程可供参考，网络上的教程都有自己的风格和习惯。选用的材料，施工工艺，甚至环境都会造成结果的不同。
本文中我将以我的Miata的前翼子板为例，来讲述汽车油漆的基础知识，油漆的分类和选择，施工过程，以及常见问题。本文会集中在使用喷漆罐(Aerosol)和家用工具和来实现尽可能好的效果。专业设备和材料不在本文的讨论范围内。
本文是基于个人经验的总结，而非专业教学，内容可能会存在错误。在使用含有有毒有害物质的涂料时，请注意个人保护以及遵循适当的废弃或回收流程。
