PDFs are perfect for the one thing they were designed for, which is publishing high quality proofs for printing. They aren’t supposed to be editable. People just use them where they shouldn’t.

I had multiple fan failures which brought down my system, so instead I picked up one of these heatsink cases and it’s been running mostly uninterrupted for years.

It’s a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven’t gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.

That’s right.

I’ve run a TR-004 for the last 5 years haven’t had any reliability issues so far. In hardware raid modes, drives are hot swappable but you can’t grow the array without wiping it. I’m JBOD mode you need to power off before swapping drives. The main problem I’ve had is their chipset is only partially supported by smartmontools due to proprietary crap so there is some strange behaviour there.
