- Inkjet droplet volumes for bio-printing applications were noted to range from 3–160 picoliters, providing a practical reference for open-source microfluidics work.  
- A warning was issued that the domain bomb.io (easily confused with bomb.bio) serves malware, highlighting a security risk for bio-hackers.  
- Discussion of storage strategies for large decentralized data sets: maaku advocates reviving Linux kernel patches for triple-parity (RAID-7) software RAID to overcome the limitations of RAID-6, btrfs, and ZFS, especially for incremental, low-budget expansion.  
- It was argued that RAID-6 is inadequate because a single disk failure leaves the array vulnerable to silent data corruption during rebuild, a risk most users overlook because mdadm does not check for such errors.  
- Participants compared ZFS configurations, with maaku recommending raid-z3 over raid-z2 unless robust off-site replication (e.g., zfs send) is in place.  
- Practical constraints of archival at scale were illustrated: 192 TB raw storage behind a 1 TB/month capped connection makes physical transport (e.g., flying with drives) and incremental sneakernet more viable than network transfer.  
- An open call was made for contributors willing to work on Linux kernel storage code to help maintain and extend triple-parity RAID functionality for community data archives.  
- A link was shared to a 2018 Electropages article describing the assembly of genetically engineered virus–gold nanostructures for nanoscale electronics, indicating interest in hybrid bio-nano devices.  
- Conference media from DNA23 and VEMDP 2018—audio recordings plus presentation slides/photos—were offered for sharing, underscoring efforts to preserve and disseminate open biotech knowledge.
