I’m joking of course, no good financial decisions are made by me at 2am.

I bought a large format film camera from 1939. Specifically a 4x5 film camera.

And I technically bought it about a week ago (at 2am), and it’s due to arrive between tomorrow and Monday.

I’ve shot a decent amount of medium format film before this (even developing it myself) but I have 0 experience with large format.

Worst case scenario I restore it and eventually sell it, best case scenario my photography hobby broadens further into more formats.

    Yeah…

    I bought a Zip 100 USB drive with 5 Zip 100MB floppies for €22.
    I don’t know if that’s good or bad, hopefully it arrives.

    Also, I don’t know how to check the disks. Probably VM or live boot. Used storage devices could contain some stuff, and I am too curious to just overwrite it.
    Hopefully it doesn’t end up being police-worthy content.

    Welp, I paid €22 for used 500MB of storage in 2025. Good financial decisions indeed.
