Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.
Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!
Optar is the first time I’ve seen someone seriously present their project as compatible (even claiming that is possibly the optimal use case) with IP over avian carriers. Craziness, but well done.

Well, here I go printing 1244 pages of QR codes to store tinycorelinux for the after times.
Better figure out how to code a QR reader in pure machine code as well.
It’s cool, you can teach yourself to decode QR by hand
Which is why that optar thing is probably the better option.
How about Optar or PaperBack?

Damn. Now that’s some lovely stuff!
Can you notch the corner and make a card double the capacity?
What are these two sided QR code cards from the future? Did you ever play Monkey Island without a hard drive in 1989?
