I figured it out. Had to write something small. The printout of the binary data looks clear and should scan in well. Now, just need to do something for data redundancy like Par2. Not sure how I'm going to get the data out of the scan yet though. The PaperBak program is pretty cool, but doesn't live up to its stated data density by a long shot.

This is such a noob question. I’m trying to make a black and white image representation of a binary file. The PGM format grabs the data in bytes, rather than bits, and makes a nice grayscale image instead. Can I just pad each bit to make a byte so I only have 2 colors? Surely there is a simple command line tool for this, instead of me having to write something?

I appreciate folks who have the gift of making things easy to understand and using it. If you’ve ever wondered about heat pumps, this might help.

Well, no luck! Best I ever seem to get is around 100 kB per page. I updated the PDF, but it is 8 pages long.

The World English Bible(one of my favorite translations) compressed down to 746 kB.
This allows for the entire Bible to fit on one US letter sized page using paper data storage.
Getting ready to print and test it...wish me luck!

I've worked on a lot of taller buildings, a bunch at 200'-300' and a couple in the 700'-800' range. An off-grid tower cabin is one of the things on my bucket list. Location is important, but most everywhere looks amazing a few hundred feet up. I need to find one of the few pockets remaining without heavy zoning/structure height permissions. Any suggestions?

Pretty much everyone has gone with the mug form factor and I would add that a handle to hang or tie it is a must. I've spent entirely too much thought on this now lol. Something like a nano-ceramic material, a little like a seashell or teeth, might add enough durability to be another option other than metal. Metal is probably the most practical, but they have microwave problems, can have a weird taste, and can be subject to corrosion.

Imagine you only had one cup to use for the rest of your life. What would be your pick for the best all-purpose cup? What qualities would you seek and does this cup already exist?

IPhone folks, you can change your phone screen to red at night. Go to accessibility shortcut and select color filters. Then go back to display/text size and turn on color filters. Tap it and select color tint. Scroll down and max out the intensity and hue. Now triple press the home button to toggle. You’re welcome night vision.
