:freebsd: FreeBSD’s Grandpa — Only known Copy of UNIX V4 recovered from Tape.

UNIX version 4 is quite special on account of being the first UNIX to be written in C instead of PDP-11 ASM, but it was also considered to have been lost to the ravages of time. Joyfully, I can report that the more than fifty year old magnetic tape that was recently discovered in a University of Utah storeroom did in fact contain the UNIX v4 source code.

⁉️Since the tape was so old there was no telling how much of the data would still be intact, but fortunately it turned out that the tape was not only largely empty, but the data that was on it was in good nick.⁉️

Archive.org hosting the multi-GB raw tape data [the recovered data includes the tape file in SimH format and the filesystem].

👾Suffice it to say that you will not run UNIX v4 on anything other than a PDP-11 system or emulated equivalent, but if you want to run its modern successors in the form of BSD Unix, you can always give FreeBSD a shot.👾

RELEASE DAY! Today we release two (mini)albums!

~~~

The first one is 'ochtendnevel' by |grens|. This electronics and beats laden journey has a slightly trippy atmosphere and is the result of a residency at De Bubbel at BRUT in Deventer. Released as a purple hand-stamped cassette tape, packaged in handsome hand-folded covers with photography by Maaike Smeedes. Also available as a download of course. Financially supported by Music Support Overijssel. 🙏

Listen & order 🔗 https://escrec.bandcamp.com/album/ochtendnevel

The second one is 'Soft Ice' by Janne Eraker. This mini-album is a new choreographic work by Janne Eraker, with Vilma Kananen, Gaëtan Farnier and Håkon Sigernes (tap dance) and Juhani Silvola (guitar). These recordings have an ASMR-like quality and are released on the premiere date of the dance piece: today! This digital only release comes with iconic artwork by Daan Botlek. And in Norway there is also a very ltd. amount of handcut vinyl by Janne Eraker 😊

Day 18 of #jamuary. The episode cue (title) didn't apply so I selected the math concept (a code book has to be decrypted) of encryption.

It is harder than it sounds to apply this to #music...

Fundamentally, it's an #ambient #piano piece. The piano is processed through reverb, #granular #synthesis & #tape delay.

Where the encryption comes in is that there is a message encoded in it through a substitution cipher. Each letter corresponds to a group of notes (chords).

Next release ?
I’m working on a forthcoming release, musically the words « doom » and « industrial » will fit the description… Something in the spirit of ooold Godflesh.
I will come back to the tape format, after a year and a half of CDs.

New 'DNA Cassette Tape' can store up to 1.5 Million times more Data than a Smartphone — and the Data can last 20,000 Years if frozen.

Running out of space on your phone? Don't upgrade your cloud-storage subscription just yet. Scientists in China have discovered that images, text files and other digital data can be stored in strands of DNA fused to a 100 meters [330-foot-long] plastic strip capable of holding the equivalent of 3 billion songs.

It's a far cry from a device that Microsoft built in 2016, which managed to squeeze 200 megabytes of data into a dab of DNA "much smaller than the tip of a pencil." The new "tape" can even be fed into a cassette-player-like reader that can scan the strip, pinpoint a chosen file, and retrieve it on demand.

<https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/synthetic-dna-storage-milestone/>

⁉️The researchers hope their DNA tape could offer a solution to the proliferation of digital data, which has been exacerbated massively by the generative artificial intelligence [AI] boom. They estimate that a piece roughly 1 kilometer [0.6 miles] long could hold up to 362,000 terabytes of data — the equivalent of about 60 billion photos. For reference, laptops often ship with between 0.5 and 2TB of storage, while smartphones usually have a minimum of 128GB or 256GB.⁉️

Beyond the high storage capacity, the data the DNA tape encapsulates could be preserved for a long time, the team said. That's because the DNA strands are stored inside metal organic frameworks [MOFs] — molecular-scale cages made of zinc ions — that provide a layer of protection.

👾The scientists hope that their research could lead to technology that can store huge amounts of both warm and cold data in a compact form, reducing reliance on the massive data centers in use today.👾
