I love my Boox Note 3. It's am older device but still gets updates lots of tweaks for tuning the display on a per app basis, runs Google apps etc. I use it mainly as a reader for books and manga but also for drawing notes and browsing the Web.

I wish TCL would stop referring to it as electronic paper, it's a matte LCD with some desaturated modes for eye comfort.

for me, the major selling point of a true e-paper display is sunlight readability, if your "electronic paper" LCD cant match e-ink, then it's not good enough.

The main E-ink patents are due to expire in 2026, so we should see some rapid development after that.

Not often I see a plane I cant immediately name?

low wing, looks like a radial engine maybe, round tail, but with retractable gear and looks like a 4 seater?

Edit: I think its a Yak 18T, wasn't aware of that variant of the Yak18 cause it looks so different with the modified 4 seat cabin changing the roofline dramatically, but its a good looking plane.

Found it : Yak-18T Registration D-EYBH Germany for the planespotting autistic nerds out there.

its super sonic obviously.

If I was to rebuild it from scratch with new parts but equivalent performance and capacity it owuld only be a couple of grand honestly..

my AV distro gear on the other hand.. oof.. decent small car money, and a terrible investment.

Well my main server is currently at 16 drives plus 2 SSDs, so 18 total counted for the licence, arranged as 12 drive unraid array and 4 drive ZFS, plus an appdata+vm disk and a general cache disk.

I'd like to go with Ceph eventually, because I think it's a solid platform, but multiple nodes and a heavier duty network backbone would be required to do that properly, also the extra disks required to protect a ZFS array of multiple Vdevs, which is safer and faster sure, but the costs are significantly higher than just buying an unraid licence.

Unraid pro is expensive (compared to free DIY linux or Truenas for example) but it is extremely flexible and very easy to get started with.

Their free trial is very flexible though, and once set up and running most people will already be set and happy to pay for the licence.

Most of it just runs on my unraid box, bunch of Docker containers and a vm for a couple of windows apps I needed running. I also run a small secondary proxmox server with some home automation amd networking stuff that I wanted to stay online when the server is off-line for updates or maintenance.

That's why unraid was (in my opinion) a good starting point, you can use whatever disks you have regardless of size and speed and pool them all together pretty easily. Stick jellyin or plex or both on it and you have a great starting server.

Not sure it's more than 10years of slow upgrades. Nothing compared to the true datahoarders out there

Too much probably.

mostly unraid, some ZFS ontop for high priority storage, a couple of TB of SSDs on top of that for caching and ingest.

Just added it all up, its 110TB at the moment, with another 16tb to add in a couple of weeks.
