Do I need to have seen Big Hero 1 thru 5 to appreciate this one?

The Road to El Dorado was the pilot for an animated series that never got greenlit. Massive missed opportunity, I would love to see "the continuing adventures of three latin rogues and a horse"

Why is this on c/Technology? Musk isn't twitter and twitter isn't tech news.

the phrase "opt-in consent" is sickening. if its not opt-in then, legally, it shouldn't be consent at all. I hate that we have to clarify.

Its kinda hard to ignore the healthcare problem. That always stank of corruption.

I dunno if I'd want to magically buy myself the ability to draw; I'd rather magically be able to afford a big house and pay an artist to live with me and draw whatever they want and maybe commission them to draw me with my comfort characters.

That's exactly what I thought would work, but it doesn't.

I'm using a regular off-the-shelf tape recorder, it doesnt have an electronic interface, I just press play and record manually.

I did use par2 and tar to generate redundancy, but I still need a way to locate it in the bytestream. Tar doesn't seem to reliably mark the start or end of files :/

I tried that first! But tar complains if it can't find the file header! So I still need to do some sort of packets. Unless you know some sort of workaround?

 

I'm currently trying to set up a homebrew cassette tape storage format, but trying to use existing tech where possible. I was excited to see that minimodem already exists for converting an audio stream to a byte stream, and is even available in termux for android, so I could decode cassettes with my phone! However, I'd like some sort of higher-level tool to encode and decode "packets" or "slices" so that I can add error correction. I'm sure this sort of thing must exist for amature radio purposes.

I could write a script that cuts a file into slices, with checksums and redundancy for each slice, and then pads them with null bytes so I can isolate each frame when decoding. What I want is to find out if that's already been done. I've heard of AX.25 packets but I can't find a tool that does that with stdio.
