My Boox Page just got this tonight. Main new feature for me is that they added dark mode to the stock Neoreader app.

Some background: I have a Synology NAS already with plenty of space on it. It runs my Jellyfin server in a docker container. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3b running Pihole.

I would like to get a mini PC to run Proxmox on, and migrate those workloads over to it, as well as use it to host any other fun projects that can be virtualized that catch my eye. It'll also be a useful learning experience as I would like to learn Proxmox to potentially broaden my skills at work, where we are an entirely VMware house, but the shit Broadcom has been pulling since taking over has put a shadow over all of that.

Anyway, I'm thinking I would like something along these lines:

• A relatively recent CPU with decent performance and low power consumption. I prefer AMD these days.
• Capacity for at least 32GB of RAM, but it doesn't have to have that much from the get-go.
• NVMe storage, 512GB or so.
• Two ethernet ports. 1Gb is acceptable, 2.5Gb would be nice, though.
• Low-ish costs. I don't need this thing to be able to play games or anything, just run my VMs at a decent clip without burning too much power.

Transcoding performance isn't a huge deal either as the Jellyfin server isn't shared with anyone outside the house, and my playback devices so far have been able to play pretty much anything I've thrown at them natively.

I think that I would plan to have the actual VMs stored on a share on the NAS rather than having them live directly on the PC.

What would you recommend?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/11868967 Definitely feeling it here. It was warm enough to comfortably go ride my motorcycle on Friday.

Winter has gone missing across the Midwest and Great Lakes, and time is running out to find it. Dozens of cities are on track for one of the warmest winters on record, making snow and ice rare commodities.

Several cities are missing feet of snow compared to a typical winter, ice on the Great Lakes is near record-low levels and the springlike temperatures have even spawned rare wintertime severe thunderstorms.

A classic El Niño pattern coupled with the effects of a warming climate are to blame for this “non-winter” winter, said Pete Boulay, a climatologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Winter has become the fastest-warming season for nearly 75% of the US and snowfall is declining around the globe as temperatures rise because of human-caused climate change.

So, I've got a 9th generation Kindle Oasis and its battery is really starting to show its age. This is also one of the models where it is damn near impossible to replace the battery. Any attempts that I have read about online resulted in broken screens and sadness.

I'm not too wedded to the Amazon ecosystem, but I do like being able to borrow library books, which my local library allows in the form of sending them to your amazon account. I have a few books from the kindle store, but not a ton.

I've been looking around online for a replacement e-ink reading device, and the Boox Page has caught my eye. I'm curious how those have been performing for anyone who's got one here, since they've been out for a while now. I like the idea of it not being tied to any particular vendor's store, and the fact that I could install the Kindle and Libby apps on it, along with, apparently, pretty much anything else available in the Play store.

Important things for me are battery life and having physical page turn buttons, as well as a built in light so that I can read in bed without bothering my wife with a table lamp or something.

I would love to see some feedback from people who own these devices.

Also, does anyone know how often the Boox store restocks them? It's been showing as unavailable every time I check over the past few days.
