Where do I see the file/format/disc header found in https://ia800200.us.archive.org/26/items/BMUG-TVRToo-Update/TVR%20Too%20Update.iso (https://archive.org/details/BMUG-TVRToo-Update)

It's not ISO9660 but I don't know the right keywords to search for much older CD formats.

Previously this asked: Does anyone recognise a file header of 42 44 AA 25? But I don't think this is the actual file header.

Has anyone ever actually wanted a .webp image?

"The world's smallest PNG" shows off the smallest possible PNG and describes how it works in detail. Not my best explainer, but probably the one I've worked on for the longest (multiple years). Feedback welcome! https://evanhahn.com/worlds-smallest-png/

I love the clarity of this list of the 7 sustainability factors used by the US Library of Congress as global/community criteria for determining recommended file formats for preservation and long-term access:

• Disclosure
• Adoption
• Transparency
• Self-documentation
• External dependencies
• Impact of patents
• Technical protection mechanisms

For the #digipres folks: Remember pictures on disk (floppy disk that is)? Here's two examples of them (no pictures included)
https://archive.org/details/pictureshow https://archive.org/details/pictureworks From my descriptions of the time, the #FileFormats aren't jpg, but some weird space saving variants that can be converted to jpg or another common format using the software on the disk.

The 1993 battle for a portable document format was impressive. What would today look like if PDF didn't win? #digipres #fileformats #obsolete. https://archive.org/details/MacWEEKV07N25/page/n45/mode/1up

Shattering the eyeglass: Using Kaitai Structs to dissect the eyeglass’ contents

https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/shattering-the-eyeglass/

A decade later I revisit the Eyeglass training format to dissect its contents. I though about a couple of approaches to doing this and landed on looking at part of it manually a la #digipres research and then using #kaitai to illustrate the principles further. Hopefully it is of interest to some! #FileFormats

Very glad to see the #arXiv steps toward #accessibility (#a11y). These include "offering well-formatted #HTML, alongside #PDF and #TeX source."
https://blog.arxiv.org/2023/01/19/access-is-not-the-same-as-accessibility-a-framework-for-making-research-papers-truly-open/

PS: There are 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 reasons to offer well-formatted HTML alongside PDF, or to stop PDF-only publishing. Accessibility is first, followed closely by making work friendly to mobile users, users with low bandwidth, and users who need to text-mine, cut/paste, or use machine translation.
