> or they can clicky clicky spend nothing and get what they want. it's hard to compete with that for many Ugh. Spending the time to learn writing a GitHub action (hours?

Synology NAS can do a lot more than store data! 1. spend 5 bucks (this might be a huge sum, depending on where you are from) 2. learn the weird, obsolete one of a kind cron syntax. 3. Setup local mail system so you get notifications about failures 4. Did I forget anything?

GitHub schedules use the same syntax as Cron

right, cron syntax is used in many places. I wouldn't call the syntax obsolete just because systemd timers use a different syntax
