I was a bit confused as Steve discussed his use of SyncThing. I am also a Synology user and have found a number of native Synology packages that I quite like. One is Synology Drive. It does everything that Steve has described he uses with SyncThing. But it sounds like Synology Drive is easier to set up and use. I have several machines both Mac and Linux, and it syncs all the data I specify across these machines. It was never mentioned on the podcast, but it works great.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

I suspect part of the reason he didn't use it is he isn't aware of what it can do. If he was aware of it and chose not to use it, I suspect that would be because it does a lot (too much?) and from a security perspective, you want to limit servers to least privilege. For example it also must have some web server built in because it can share files on a web portal.
