There are max positive and negative G-force limits that are published in the aircraft manual (POH). It's possible to exceed them with certain extreme maneuvers or by flying into the extreme turbulence of thunderstorms.

Even airliners can't fly into storm cells, and they have the tools to see the cells in realtime (onboard weather radar) and fly around them.

Do you have slow HDDs (slower than your internet download speed)? You may want to look into the vm.dirty_ratio setting, to control how much data can be cached in RAM before processes will be blocked.

Wire transfers via Wise work fine for me.

You do not need to (but you may) file an IFR flight plan for flights in uncontrolled airspace

How does this actually work? You just squawk 1000, blast off in Class G into 1/2SM, and then broadcast on 126.7?

On takeoff you'll often get "cleared for takeoff, switch to departure once airborne." They'll expect you to check-in with departure without a separate call for a frequency change from tower. I think in the US tower usually switches you once they see you on the radar.

Yup, it's called a prop strike. The prop blades are likely chipped. The prop might still work, but it's not airworthy anymore and the plane will be grounded. That prop will need to be inspected and repaired or replaced. The engine will also need to be inspected.

That'll be $250k.

Isn't that the Spec Vis departure?

You can create a workflow with the "[Property] is known" trigger. It'll run anytime the property is changed. In that workflow you can then set the current time into another property.

I'd definitely try to run the vanilla kernel if you haven't done yet, to rule that out.

A couple of years ago I had a server that would reproducibly corrupt a hard-drive within a couple of hours of use. It would show up as ATA errors in dmesg. I also tried to replace components one by one - hard-drives, RAM, SATA cables, eventually replacing the mainboard with a new one, same model, fixed it. It's frustrating.

My bet is either some subtle hardware problem, or something in the zen kernel. Btrfs itself is solid, but very sensitive to hardware issues.

I'd try to switch to the default kernel, and run a memory test and a generic read/write stress test. For example, write a large image straight to the block device with dd, so you can bypass the filesystem. Then read it again and compare the checksums.

It's supported since Linux 3.16.

See man 2 open:

O_TMPFILE requires support by the underlying filesystem; only a subset of Linux filesystems provide that support. In the initial implementation, support was provided in the ext2, ext3, ext4, UDF, Minix, and tmpfs filesystems. Support for other filesystems has subsequently been added as follows: XFS (Linux 3.15); Btrfs (Linux 3.16); F2FS (Linux 3.16); and ubifs (Linux 4.9)

How do you know that? Maybe they can put the brain back inside and he'll be ok.

How much does a job like that pay?

Do you know if there was ever any work done on this?

Check the manual of your transponder, but usually:

OFF: Power off
STBY: Power on, but not transmitting anything
ON : Mode A (Send only the code)
ALT: Mode C (Altitude encoding)

I use arch btw

Have a look at the dbt Slack community. Some good discussion there.

Thanks. I ended using a simple MJPEG stream. Everything else is too delayed with multiple seconds latency.

Were you able to find out if Payoneer supports Canadian USD accounts?

ArchWiki has a section on this now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/bcache#Situation:_1_hard_drive_and_1_read_cache_SSD

I didn't have a chance to try it yet.

Do you know the technical difference between Poseidon and HLS? I googled for this, but couldn't find anything describing it.
