Hmm.... use mutt (or neomutt), it supports GPG very nicely. -- GPG fingerprint: 17FD 615A D20D AFE8 B3E4 C9D2 E324 20BE D47A 78C7

Full-raw (at least, below RSPC/CIRC) CD/DVD reader/writer "should be done" nowadays - with muti core CPUs and insane TFLOPs on GPUs, brute-forcing correction codes etc should be a no brainer. And with some fancy PRNG/crypto sequences, should be able to more cheaply (in data space/ 8to14 terms) handle the "too many 1s in a row" problem and get much closer to the raw actual 2.33GiB of a CD-ROM. Back in the day of the 486DX and lusty 60MB HDDs, CDs were a godsend and the fact they worked at all is apparently in hindsight amazing (1690MB of ECC etc, to get the remaining 640MB "reasonably stable/ error free over time"). But today, software defined analogue laser output decoding looks "entirely reasonable" and with many potential benefits.

https://debugmo.de/2007/07/read-your-dvds-the-raw-way/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21242273 This time I wanted to know what’s on my DVDs. I mean, not what’s normally visible, but what’s underneath the data layer. Contrary to CDs, where a lot of work has been done to allow reading every bit of a CD, there is surprisingly less information for DVDs. I wanted more. My attempt was to capture the data before it gets processed by the usual circuits, but I didn’t wanted to mess around with analog hardware. So I grabbed an old Pioneer DVD-113, which luckily was build in those good days before single-chip solutions were available...
