@td@pars.ee made a demo using gnuradio with QAM, and later someone did the same, and I have no interest in the actual signalling, just in the error correction and Opus. So I was happy to have them deal with it.
There's enough pure beauty in error correction algorithms to satisfy me. Accurate on encoding, inaccurate in decoding is the exact opposite of audio codecs.]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mk.pars.ee/notes/algwetmvin29008whttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mk.pars.ee/notes/algwetmvin29008wFri, 24 Apr 2026 19:59:28 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to this is a server motherboard for a 7nm processor on Fri, 24 Apr 2026 19:47:04 GMT]]>@lynne how would you do QAM on regular cassette tapes? would you modulate a carrier? or do you mean PAM?

Glad I never bought that heavy tape deck now.

i had an idea to use Glasgow to write a one-packet-per-track, properly ECC'd and encoded data, with significantly higher density. but i never finished it

There was a Xen vulnerability (VM escape) a few (10?) years ago that was a result of a bug in floppy disk emulation. It required urgent patching on most clouds, even though they don’t actually expose a way to use floppy disks. As I recall, this all existed because some Windows versions failed to boot if they couldn’t find a floppy drive.
