For those commenting on the name: weka is not only the name of a storage company and some machine-learning software, but originally a flightless bird native to Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Not to be confused with weta, which is a large scary looking (but actually pretty harmless) insect in the grasshopper family and also the name of another company that did most of the digital effects for the LotR movies.

Weta Digital (https://www.wetafx.co.nz/) are named after the grasshopper, not the bird.
