It‘s no RAID. Therefore the name. Unraid shows single shares and has different options for filling up drives. So you can access each individual drive via GUI or CLI, however in its functions as a NAS it only shows combined shares. Underneath you got Btrfs, XFS or ZFS as options.
Not everyone interested in self-hosting stuff has the time or is even interested in diving much deeper into it than necessary. That‘s why QNAP and Synology also offer value to homelabers.
Coming from Synology, where I had learned much about docker and CLI, Unraid was the perfect next step for me to get rid of my Sonology‘s shortcomings. And I figure, it won‘t need anything beyond that in the future for me. I‘ve been successfully running quite a lot of services for the whole family being supported by a sufficient GUI and very limited need for CLI.
No, thanks. Foldable screens look shit. The middle part looks like cheap screen protectors used to look like and the rounded edges of screens on Android smartphones bleed backlight (how‘s that even possible with OLEDs?) like hell. Also, there‘s inevitably going to be dust and other stuff collecting in the mechanical parts. Leave all that to Android fanboys who consider foldables a great innovation.

Well, how could anyone think that circumventing encryption with a shady middle-man tool wouldn‘t be a privacy nightmare?
I just love American companies being confronted with reality in Germany.
I paid 430€ for the Eee and I paid 1100€ for the MacBook. Sure that‘s not just a little more money.
However, the way I calculate such purchases is: price divided by years of usage. I used the MacBook as a main computer for four years until I could afford a more powerful Mac mini as my desktop computer. I continued to use my MacBook intensively for university and for mobile photo editing for another five years. This means a total lifespan of nine years or 122€ per year.
If I had stalled my decision not to send back the Eee and try working with it ignoring the shortcomings, I maybe would have used it for a year or a couple of months longer. The netbook trend, according to my recollection was quite short so I guess I couldn‘t have sold it for a good price then.
So what I actually wanted to say is that the MacBook, despite it costing more than double, was by far the better deal for me.
They were unbearably slow even back then. I returned my 1000H with its Atom N270 after a day and saved a little more money until I was able to afford a 2008 MacBook. Never regretted it. On the contrary, this marked my complete move to MacOS which saved me from continuing to use Windows.
How far are they with self-hosting? I saw that on their roadmap a few months ago.
I remember trying Windows XP tablets at CeBIT 2004. Apple released their first Tablet in 2010. There‘s releasing something that does a job and there‘s releasing something that does the job. What I‘ve seen from Android foldables was underwhelming, Apple could do something differently, which still fits into the category but has improved aspects not only Apple considers necessary to release such a device.
