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!
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).
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.
Someone just needs to make a double sided CD-R so we can have data and artwork on it.
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?
Now I’m off to find a CD and a computer with a CD rw drive!
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.
