I wonder if they'll go with "toploaders" - like Backblaze Storage Pods - later. They have better density and faster setup, as they don't have to screw in every drive. They got used drives. I wonder if they did any testin

I attempted OCR, and while it's not great, it's a start. I considered adding a reference to "software wants to be free!" or the Open Letter, but I'm winding down for the night. https://github.com/pro

I attempted OCR with OCRmyPDF / Tesseract. It's not great, but it's under 1% the size, at least. https://github.com/pronoiac/altair-basic-source-code

I think Pandoc and Calibre could work for you. I've worked on PAIP, Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, and I might be able to help you a bit. It's around 1k pages long. I used Pandoc to generate an epub file, and th

It's still in progress! It's looong - about a thousand pages. There's an ebook, but the printed book got more editing.

I made a high-quality scan of PAIP (Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming), and worked on OCR'ing and incorporating that into an admittedly imperfect git repo of Markdown files. I used Scantailor to deskew and do other adjus

Is XFS well-regarded by others? I was benchmarking filesystems by generating a billion empty files on them, and while ext2, ext4, and btrfs could finish in a day or two, xfs hit a wall in the first 4 million files, and was on track to take

I remember tools that worked with the Wikipedia dumps, in bzip2, and built indexes to allow decent random access. Once you know where the compressed blocks are, and which Wikipedia entries they contain, you could start from a given block, s

I did some benchmarking of compression and decompression last year. Raspberry Pi 4, Debian, and my corpus was a filesystem with a billion files on it, as a sparse tar of a drive image, which I acknowledge is an odd choice, but that's w

If you want PRs, I suggest you set up Semantic Linefeeds* sooner, rather than later. Each sentence gets its own line, and it really helps avoid merge conflicts. * https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-
