Wife's idea.

@saustrup Oh yeah! I remember doing that in the 90s!

@saustrup brilliant !

@saustrup I assume any data on there was nuked from orbit now, but I never thought about using that as an eclipse shield.

edited because I accidentally used the wrong "there"

@saustrup
This is not safe. Can work, but can also not work as floppy manufacturers don't really care about optical consistency. Please do not recommend anyone do this

I'm blind! Someone call Joe Pesci!

[nuancerhymeswithorange@mstdn.social]

@saustrup but all my games! Erased!

@saustrup You just wiped your copy of Commander Keen

Hej @strahlenschutz, man soll ja nicht Gletscherbrillen verwenden u.s.w., aber was haltet ihr davon️?

[sassdawe@infosec.exchange]

@saustrup this is the way!

[jonhendry@iosdev.space]

@saustrup

I don't think that blocks IR. So there might still be a risk.

[arcticulate@toot.community]

@saustrup I *can* let you do that, Dave! (If HAL was a floppy)

[paule@ieji.de]

@saustrup I preferred to use binoculars.

@saustrup clever girl!

@saustrup @marcoarment Looks like HAL 9000 from “2001: A Space Odyssey” movie.

@saustrup
CD works also

@rogue_cells @saustrup

I'm pretty sure focused solar IR on the retina could also be bad. And you wouldn't blink because you wouldn't feel it.

[ianrogers@mstdn.social]

@saustrup Similarly you can make a janky diy IR filter for b&w shots using the film as a lens gel on your camera. Given the results of said filter I don't know that I'd count on it to protect my vision looking directly at the sun.

@saustrup

perfect for the fedi

[ruston@social.vivaldi.net]

@saustrup who said that floppy disks were dead.

[vwestlife@mastodon.social]

@saustrup It works on a camera, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ8HsqfqM4k
