   i had a computer related dream last night, i was visiting parents friends and they had a big old mainframe in storage, tons of floppy disks all around, and i was like holy fuck it's a weird *random non existent computer brand* i really want to archive the disks.

   so i was really worried about rescuing the disks but they were suddenly covered in sand

   and i was trying to convince them to give me the computer

     @kiwa I've gotten data off a floppy disk that I had to dig out of the mud at the bottom of a lake

     it was kinda like that blue computer that a youtuber fixed a while ago, can't remember the name, centurion or something like that, it looked pretty similar, it was blue, like a 32u rack server in size with switches and several floppy drives

     @foone @kiwa "it abandoned Gollum, but then something happened that the disk did not intend"
