A meme showing a screenshot from the movie Fight Club featuring Edward Norton, paired with a social media comment section where the user "gg" asks "name of movie?", answers themselves with "fight club bro", and then replies to their own comment with "thanks".

@werdahias @nina_kali_nina Was it "Magnetic Recording, Volume I: Technology" and "Magnetic Recording, Volume II: Computer Data Storage"? By C. Denis Mee and Eric D. Daniel. ISBN 0-07-041271-5 and 0-07-041272-3.

It's a quite detailed book about read/write heads for magnetic recording, how hard drives work, how floppy disks work, how magnetic tape works. And I got it from the library because of the recommendation by someone on here (might've been gloriouscow @ oldbytes.space ?). Looks like chapter 3 of volume 1 has a lot of information about the magnetic media specifically, including what it's made of and how to coat it.

@nina_kali_nina It's not the "Magnetic Recording Handbook" nor "The Complete Handbook of Magnetic Recording" ;
I do remember it was the first in a series, and had a brown-ish cover.

Hello Fedi,

recently someone posted a book that detailed how to build #floppies from scratch (including the ferrofluid etc.) I thought I had saved or boosted it, but apparently not. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact title, maybe @nina_kali_nina knows? In general the book was talking about magnetic storage, and was from the 80's (I think). Please boost.
EDIT:
Found it thanks to @vaporeon_ and @gloriouscow , it's "Magnetic Recording, Volume 1".

A town in Germany transformed all their public green spaces into edible gardens.

Can we get this everywhere?

I guess my weirdest achievement so far:

Having started a #Debian GR with probably the most options, ever.

Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"

I had some cards printed up.

These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar.

Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.

@Diziet great work! Feel free to send a mail.

@nilesh huh, TIL. I assumed otherwise.

The longer I use OpenStreetMap, the more aware I become of just how terrible all of the commercial maps are

Wir sind hier, wir sind laut, weil ihr uns das Fahrgastrechtewasser klaut!

To combat the current existential dread I played some Wolfenstein today and that was rather satisfying.
