How famous is Lemmy? The linked hackaday post seems to be from 2022, the github page had last activity 3 years ago.
Perhaps hackernews was a middlestep: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44208283
But otherwise it may as well originate from my recent Lemmy post: old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/36007202 (the old subdomain usually works as well as the API, but the native Lemmy frontend on SDF, 502 or long wait)
I’ve also seen Lemmy being used as a source for something on Linus Tech Tips.
The author of the article is on the Fediverse, so it’s possible.
I found this: tomshardware.com/…/new-tool-burns-images-onto-com…
Btw, the technique is called DVD data art.
Finally, we can write data to a CD ourselves!
Since you’re burning audio data to create the visual image, you can’t also store data, etc.
So what’s the point?
Its just neat
I think it could be forked to append images to actual audio tracks, but I am too dumb to do so.
Using old discs for something neat.
How to burn that? It’s a SIMH track, Xfburn/Brasero don’t recognize it as valid audio track and data burning provides no image. The software-proposed cdrecord command errors out; doesn’t recognize my two USB burners (one of them Verbatim Bluray, the other at least 10 years old).
Someone just needs to make a double sided CD-R so we can have data and artwork on it.
Now I’m off to find a CD and a computer with a CD rw drive!
I understand it only works with CDs, but does this work with DVD burners, while burning CDs? Or does it require a CD-only burner?
I feel like I remember someone doing this like 10 years ago. Can’t find a link.

30 years too late.

Eh, maybe.
Could be a fun way to play with a stack of blanks noone has use for to make some artwork.
That was my first thought seeing this. And I’ve got a few hundred blanks.
