'Since the pandemic, I’ve been working on a project called *Retyping a Library*. It’s exactly what it sounds like – the re-creation on onion-skin paper of literary manuscripts (everything from Moby-Dick to I Love Dick), which I stash in boxes along with an author portrait and signature'

been so long since i looked at cloud prices bc ew that i can't guesstimate how much usb/ssd/hdd folx can purchase with a year subscription to having your stuff read.

guess i'll have to scan that thru noscript soonish.
(need their hands smacked off my bandwidth and processor with those big, unaccountable scripts.)

The people telling you that physical media is dead are the techno-feudal lords who want you to pay subscriptions for almost everything people used to have just a few decades ago.

When I started my lab, I subscribed to a few journals, something few people do now. I just came across the first paper my lab ever published, written by my wife and me 😊
This issue is a keeper, even if I have to clear out the others for space 😉

i hope cloud services ache every time I store my stuff on sd cards and usb sticks.

128's are great for library stuff and multi use. 8's are great for operating systems and loaning out music and programs, or event pictures.

Helps I've been sticklery about seeking things with ports.

Still have a sansa mp3 player with #rockbox on it.
