    If they managed where luggage was stored in the overhead, they could reduce it 10 fold. The whole wait is because people need to go back x rows past people standing to get their luggage. Even if they made everyone sit and deboard in zones it could be way faster.







  • I was buying blank DVD’s with printable surfaces, I had an epson inkjet with a tray that would print directly on the disk.

    I would get a shipment of 4 DVD’s from netflix, rip all 4, shrink them down below 4.7G, burn them, print a label on them and put them in a binder. and mail them back out for the next set of 4. The output looked shockingly good. I made it through a spindle or so before i moved on to tversity and stopped dealing with physical media.


  • I’ll keep it in mind, while I decide how to move forward. How I do it isn’t necessarily ideal. just throwing out options.

    The chances of corruption from passing virtualized disks in truenas is lower than passing raw disks. I’d move them to virtualized disks.

    As far as your SMART data, make a ventoy+debian live usb, boot your host off that and install smartmontools and use smartctl to read your SMART data. You host should still have access to that data. If you have smart errors, you’ll need to fix those first.




  • it is impossible to convince him that this is, in fact, not the case

    He’s probably an investor.

    The tech economy is struggling. Every company needs 20% more every year, or it’s considered a failure. The big fish have bought up every promising property on the map in search of this. It’s almost impossible to go from small to large without getting gobbled up, and the guys gobbling up already have 7 different flavors of what you’re trying to make on ice in a repo somewhere. There’s no new venture capital flowing into conventional work.

    AI has all the venture capitalists buzzing, handing over money like it’s 1999. Investors are hopping on every hype train because each one has the chance of getting gobbled up and making a good return on investment.

    These mega CEO’s have moved their personal portfolios into AI funding and their companies pushing the product will line their pockets indirectly.

    At some point, that $200/pp/m price will shoot up. They’re spending billions on datacenters, and eventually those investments will be called in for returns.

    When they hit the wall for training-based improvement, things got slippery. Current models are costing exponentially more, making several calls for every request. The market’s not going to bear that without an exponential cost increase, even if they’re getting good work done.



  • a coding LLM can code as well as a fresh CS grad.

    For a couple of hundred lines of code, they might even be above average. When you split that into a couple of files or start branching out, they usually start to struggle.

    after you give them a piece of advice once or twice, they stop making that same mistake.

    That’s a damn good observation. Learning only happens with re-training and that’s wayyy cheaper when done in meat.



  • I would probably shy away from passing the raw disk. There are a few dozen ways to skin that, But in the end I would probably just mount the disc through NFS,smb, whatever it takes. Reading that smart data is paramount for your situation. You could have a bad cable and never know it.

    You could run a couple of VMs K8S and longhorn the data, It’s capable of backing up to an S3 compliant storage.

    For my home stuff at the moment I’m running unraid with a BTRFS and a parity disc. The first every month I run a scrub if I had any corruption it would find it for me and alert me. It’s slow as balls but more protection is better than less. You can also buy some recycled discs and keep a offline store. I don’t love the recycled discs but for backup purposes that aren’t running 24x7 they’re better than nothing.
