Das Projekt sei Kunstwerk und Datenvisualisierung zugleich, sagt Mandiberg. | ||

- This study shows that it is possible to store digital data (i.e., files or documents) on microfilm and to convert them back to a digital format. This offers a viable solution for the permanent storage of the original data streams as defined in most archival regimes in e-Government settings and long-term archives.

- Optar stands for OPTical ARchiver. It's a codec for encoding data on paper or free software 2D barcode in other words. Optar fits 200kB on an A4 page, then you print it with a laser printer. If you want to read the recording, scan it with a scanner and feed into the decoder program. A practical level of reliability is ensured using forward error correction code (FEC). Automated processing of page batches facilitates storage of files larger than 200kB. (2016?)

- Relatively high density file backups on paper. Cross-platform CLI port of Ollydb.
- This is a repo copy and fork of https://git.teknik.io/scuti/paperback-cli by Surkeh. Paperback-cli is the crossplatform, backwards-compatible, command line version of Oleh Yuschuk’s PaperBack.
- Originally designed to print encoded data directly to paper, it has been simplified to focus on encoding and decoding bitmaps that can be written to any printable media via whatever printing mechanism is available to your system. Recommended for small files such as cryptocurrency wallets, key revocation certificates, password databases, and any other important data only a few megabytes large.
- While the capacity is small compared to conventional storage media, this program encodes or decodes non-electronic backups characteristically resilient to or unaffected by electromagnetic disturbance, water, and heat. (201701)

Hier ist unser Pad für PaperBak und Co., begonnen am 04.11.2015 https://github.com/ZBar/ZBar ./configure Dann habe ich von software.opensuse.org "zbar" geladen, das enthält zbarimg und dmtxwrite? Sind die in irgendwelchen standard-suse-paketen dabei oder hast du diese selbstgebaut? https://github.com/dmtx/dmtx-utils Ich habe mich mit QR- und Datamatrix beschäftigt. Gebe jetzt erstmal auf. Anbei ein Testprogramm, darin habe ich meine bisher gefundenen Probleme aufgeführt. Übrigens: Die Datendichte mit QR oder DMTX ist nicht so hoch wie bei Paperbak... das Thema legen wir erstmal zur Seite. "If you have a good laser printer with the 600 dpi resolution, you can save up to 500,000 bytes of uncompressed data on the single A4/Letter sheet. Integrated packer allows for much better data density - up to 3,000,000+ (three megabytes) of C code per page." #!/bin/bash # coding and decoding of a file into QR- or Datamatrix-codes # codecode.sh <infile> # Literature / sources: # https://www.mail-archive.com/gnupg-users@gnupg.org/msg10827.html # https://schnouki.net/posts/2010/03/22/howto-backup-your-gnupg-secret-key-on-paper/ # https://www.piggott.me.uk/2015/05/20/paper-ssh-gpg-key-backups/ # http://blog.liw.fi/posts/qr-backup/ # http://www.grant-trebbin.com/2015/05/encode-and-decode-file-backed-up-as.html # QR code qrchunk=1024 split -a 2 -b $qrchunk -d $1 $1.chunk- for file in ./$1.chunk-*; do qrencode -8 -l M -o $file.png < $file; rm $file; done montage -label '%f' $1.chunk-*.png -geometry '1x1<' -tile 2x $1-qr.png # 2x3 pro Seite (image) # montage -label '%f' $1.chunk-*.png -geometry '1x1<' -tile 2x3 $1-qr.png rm $1.chunk-*.png # QR decode zbarimg --raw $(ls $1-qr*.png | sort -n) > $1_qr-decoded # Problem 1: $1_qr-decoded != $1 # Datamatrix code dmtxchunk=512 split -a 2 -b $dmtxchunk -d $1 $1.chunk- for file in ./$1.chunk-*; do dmtxwrite -e 8 $file > $file.png; rm $file; done montage -label '%f' $1.chunk-*.png -geometry '1x1<' -tile 2x $1-dmtx.png # 2x3 pro Seite (image) # montage -label '%f' $1.chunk-*.png -geometry '1x1<' -tile 2x3 $1-dmtx.png rm $1.chunk-*.png # Datamatrix decode # Problem 2: dmtxread kann nicht mehrere image files einlesen # Problem 3: dmtxread hat auch Probleme, wenn mehrere (oder zu viele?)
