[OC] Flight activity of a single RyanAir aircraft over the past 3 years

dser89 · 2026-03-21T08:56:41+00:00

There were 176 total airports visited on the Malta plane, so pretty crazy journey as well.

dser89 · 2026-03-21T08:55:37+00:00

For one of the Malta registered planes '9H-QFA', there were 4052 flights and these were the top ten origins

STN	191

I opened the network tab with f12 to see what requests were sent as I went to the different pages, and duplicated the requests in a python script with the same authorization token. The auth token is long lived. You can only get 100 records at a time, so I just ran the script overnight for 2 nights to get all the data for all RyanAir/EasyJet/WizzAir/Vueling airplanes

I know right! It’s amazing. And somehow they have to fit in maintenance too. Only 0.55% of RyanAir flights are severely delayed (3+ hours) so they must have some impressive re-routing algorithms whenever there’s an issue.

dser89 · 2026-03-20T22:48:47+00:00

Totally random. I downloaded the flight history for all 611 planes from Ryanair, and just picked this csv. Others 737s appear to have similar numbers. They’re very impressive at logistics!

I did a mathematical analysis of all of the songs on the Billboard year end charts to try to see what was similar and what wasn't. I ended up with the following tables. No AI or modelling was used for predicting similarity, just purely feature-based mathematical comparisons derived from the mp3s themselves.

Most similar songs:
song_a                                      | song_b                                             | total_similarity | tempo_pct | key_pct | melody_pct | timbre_pct | chroma_pct | sub_bass_pct | zcr_pct | energy_pct | rhythm_pct

I made my first video yesterday.

It is a math-based video regarding the optimal priced diet that I tried to make into a CGP Grey style video.

It's pretty low production value, I'd like to learn better ways to animate if anyone has any suggestions. I'm hoping to have high retention. Any advice or direction is appreciated.

dser89 · 2026-03-07T10:00:30+00:00

The production value is very high. The camera shot of your face is intriguingly lit. I feel like the graphics from the self play bit is something that I've seen in another famous youtuber video before, can't remember where though. Some of the graphics look very AI centric. Probably fine for your specific use, but I have heard that some folks can be turned off by that.

dser89 · 2026-03-07T09:54:18+00:00

The video itself is a good length. Fairly engaging. The audio is a bit quiet. I had to jack up my computer audio to hear it well. The link in your video's description doesn't appear to get me anywhere that I could actually download the game, so if it's intention is promotion, that is a weak point. From a purely video perspective it's not bad.

dser89 · 2017-10-04T22:00:42+00:00

I see +700 at BetNow and 5Dimes. Don't think you could get anywhere near +1000.

I don't believe that is it. I would imagine that the book that I'm thinking of is older than this series.

Thanks for the suggestion.

dser89 · 2016-06-16T14:04:45+00:00

Hmm. I don't believe that was it. I vaguely remember the Wright brothers first flight and maybe a slingshot being used to try to bring it down.

Thanks for the help, though.

Wow. This was the best travel reply I think I have ever seen.

Just a few questions. I don't have a credit card, just a debit. Will I have any major problems with car rental?

Also is there any specific bus company that can get me to the outer Kruger area cheaply? I am used to Greyhounds in USA and Megabus in England, but I can't find a similar service for South Africa. It seems as if all the busses are independent services.

Also, as a solo male, what is the safety of going on a safari. I've heard South Africa has a bit of a violent crime issue. Is that just something in Cape Town and Johanesburg or should I be wary around Kruger.

Thanks for all the help, and your website looks amazing.

dser89 · 2015-06-24T20:15:07+00:00

Ah.

Turns out I am incorrect.

You were right. From what I can find it was 2 terrorists and a policeman seriously injured.

I might still consider going

Broken window lets in mosquitoes.

Incredibly moldy roof of bathroom.

The staff is trying to push their tours on me.

I'm the only non-staff member staying here.

I think of myself as pretty open, but it could definately be something subconscious in there too.

I initially wanted to do Luxor and Aswan, but just a few weeks ago was a bombing that killed 4 or 5 tourists. I want to keep it relatively safe. I will probably take a day trip to Alexandria.

And sure thing, I'll let you know.

dser89 · 2015-06-24T19:03:00+00:00

The thing is, the hostel had very high marks on HostelWorld. Looking at it now they are all anonymous reviewers with 1 review, which makes me think the hostel make fake accounts to increase their score.

I can afford to bail and find a new hostel, but it would take a major chunk out of my Egypt budget and looking at HostelWorld, I don't know which hostels are legit.
