I didn’t say it didn’t? I said it’s a bit cheaper if… I can tick off a bunch of those, some for more than you’ve listed, and plenty of others

Yeah, I’ve got many expensive hobbies now. It’s a bit cheaper if you can do it all yourself/make your own equipment

I should probably mention that a fountain code isn’t a barcode like a QR or JAB code, they’re a way to do error correction which can be applied to sequences of barcodes

there’s a bunch of open source (and abandoned) repos on GitHub that do this using fountain codes, fascinating stuff but not all that good, they have huge limits on the transfer rate. I recalling seeing some that use JAB codes which cram more data into each code using colours, not sure how much better they’d be than this though.

chasing new skills

I quit my software job and now I’m broke and studying horticulture lol
I haven’t been this consistently happy in years
