Where should I put diskette images? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've started dumping those floppies I recovered the other day that have content in them. Where do you suggest I upload the images?

I was thinking of sticking them on my Github and just writing a script to list the content of each image in the README.md, and then those who want to make sense of what it is can have at it.

At any rate, it's super-weird to be handling 5"1/4 disks in 2025. After all these years... And what's even weirder is, both the 3"1/2 and the 5"1/4 drives in that computer I salvaged are buttery smooth, like if they were totally new. They're probably working smoother than any actual drive I owned when drives were a thing people had to use every day 🙂 And they seem to read disks from 1989 just fine.
