Artificial Intelligence on the March#

It’s April 2026 outside (though the weather says February), the scythe of artificial intelligence is marching across the planet, mowing down dinosaurs, and tech giants are laying off people by the thousands.

Hunger Is No Joke#

As we know, you can never have too much space. To the green Barracuda — once the biggest at 8TB — three red IronWolfs at 12TB each were added, replacing the 4TB WD drives. But all good things come to an end, and inevitably so did the free space on all those disks. For quite a while I had an expansion unit on my wishlist — a box that lets you connect a few extra drives to an existing Synology. And then Black Friday 2024 arrived.

Prepare the Sledge in Summer

This particular purchase, on the other hand, was well thought out — it had been patiently sitting in my Amazon wishlist, waiting for a discount.

After swinging an axe all summer and realizing that cutting trees crosswise is not the most rewarding of tasks, I decided to splurge on a saw. Naturally, for camping I wanted something portable and foldable — though you could just as well throw a regular hand saw in the car, it wouldn’t be quite feng shui.
