Someone should reimplement this for use with cheap laser engraving machines so we can make physical backups on any material like stone, wood, stainless steel, or plastic.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoHow cheap are laser engraving machines? For ultra critical keys and generationally important data this sounds like a really good idea. I use M-disc currently but an engraved A4 or Letter size scannable durable material seems like the best option if it is available. Edit: would this work? https://a.co/d/5fWJaEa https://a.co/d/5fWJaEa Since it seems to accept an image, the question is what material would be best to run it on and then have it be scannable well on a standard flat bed scanner, which almost certainly will be available in some form as long as our current civilization survives.
- ThrowawayTestr 3y agoYou can get table top models for 1-2k.
- throwuwu 3y agoThat’s what I was thinking of
- alchemist1e9 3y agoAny opinions on best material to be scanner later on flatbed?
- throwuwu 3y agoNot sure but if you want to use a flat bed scanner then maybe if the engraving is deep enough you could just ink the plate and then press a sheet of paper onto it and scan the paper instead.
