If you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It's in couched language but reasonably clear. I don't think you're thinking of using those (RAID56) but don't.
Never had any btrfs problems that weren't self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs's history (years ago, 4.13 or maybe 3.13). I've used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.
Haven't tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM (which is fine if slow at the time), albeit a bit more computationally intensive.
Reddit is pretty much read-only for me now. Looks like many of you are the same because I don't save or share to my browser very many anymore. Peeps ain't writing stuff (of interest to me) on Reddit anymore.
Which model? I find the 4o to be rubbish; I just get bullshit. 4-turbo was great.
4.5 is the only useful model there at the moment.
Perplexity is what I use for searches and it's good on references.
ChatGPT for making things.
"Never meet your heros." is as old as celebrity itself.
I think many of my heroes live larger in my mind than they could or should ever fulfill; they couldn't possibly live up to that hype and I wouldn't want to take it from them through the actuality.
