Found a magnetic core memory module in the garden.

@yngmar See if you can read what it has... that should be a good test on whether or not magnetic core memory was truly non-volatile

@mcSlibinas No idea. Seems a little over engineered for a livestock fence :mastoshrug:

@yngmar it can be old way to make window bars before welding, thing you will see in Vilnius (or any other city) oldtown.

You live in Land of Unanswered Findings 😎

@mcSlibinas Hmm, possible, the size is about right for a window. Odd that they're just loosely bound at the intersections though. You can shift the bars apart from each other.

@yngmar maybe you buy bar-lego at blacksmith in year 1856 and hired builders will install it? 🤔

@mcSlibinas Now I just need to find the ones for the remaining 11 windows 😆

@yngmar i have suspicions that iron things just grow there in your yard 🤔 Sow the nail, harvest the beam 💯

@yngmar just learn to replicate this!
Seems like you have enough material under your feet.
@mcSlibinas

@krahabors @mcSlibinas I'll sprinkle some nails and see what grows!

@yngmar
In my sandy soil that did not work. I have planted a lot of old nails, via burning old nail-filled wood and then dumping ash in the garden.
@mcSlibinas

@yngmar 94 bits, I think. I wonder if there's any parity / CRC overhead :-)

@yngmar how did it perform? I don’t think a car battery is enough. Did you try 2 phase
