Breaking News: "Attendees are expected to refuse street bail, requiring more people to be taken into custody, and they plan to go “floppy”, forcing officers to physically carry them away."

The term 'Floppy' is now going mainstream it seems 😎 ...

Time to relax with some MIDI floppies. I hope I remembered to rewind them 😄

In a couple of hours I managed to recover a huge part of data from an erased #floppy .

I made flux copy and loaded it to HxceFloppyEmulator, those are the first two images.

I managed to recover a lot of data with the software RecoveryWhiskers that I am writing.
I found some data that looks like a German MS-DOS 6 boot disk with Doublespace.
The file system data was properly blanked before it was erased (it's all blank data, I can verify from the flux view).

The way I recovered data is to slow down the the disk manually. I am baffled myself how well that worked.

same sector in RecoveryWhiskers, I managed to recover this track it in 5 reads. The flux view shows a very wavy flux.

It also shows a bunch of sectors missing, some tracks have 1-3 sectors missing

flux view of a track. It looks like structures of sectors, but the timings are not readable anymore and it has a lot of timings that look like noise.

#Dillo release size over time, constrained by the size of a single #floppy disk. We still have some room left.

I suspect the big increase in 3.1.0 is mostly caused by adding a screenshot in the readme (136 KiB).

A bar plot of Dillo release sizes over time. They start at 0.2 MiB and grow until 1.0 MiB for the last release, still under a floppy capacity of 1.44 MB.
