@neauoire I pinged you because of their interesting libraries, eg: https://github.com/photopea/UPNG.js
Because SVG can be easily exported as PNG and it makes sense to process it. Or maybe not?
Just discovered an online text editor as powerful as Photoshop: https://www.photopea.com/
And most of the code is open source at: https://github.com/photopea
🤯
ping @neauoire
@f3r Cheers!
Hey I guess you should also pin a project on your profile, if you want people to know what you're working on.
You're into Ruby? It's a really elegant language!
@bthylafh Interesting, it makes sense.
It sounds like a joke from the pilots right? 😄
@leip4Ier@infosec.exchange Sounds familiar 😂
TwoFold is written in #nodeJS
The testing suite is pretty huge, especially in the lexer/ parser, I really wanted to make it stable.
It took me around 2 years to bring TwoFold to a more or less stable app.
And.. I'm trying to understand WHY it takes me sooo so long to finish stuff.
I have no idea, but I have a few intuitions:
* I'm defocused, because I have many other things to do in my spare time
* I'm demoralized, because I'm mostly alone in all my projects
* I'm tired, because I can work mostly after 10PM when my family goes to sleep
I'm really glad that I launched this, though 😁
I'm a senior software dev and in my spare time I write small apps and libs that nobody uses.
I released TwoFold.js (2✂︎f) stable and I wrote this article about it:
https://crlf.site/log/articles/191121-twofold/
I took me almost 2 months to write, because english is much harder than code 😓
tl;dr;TwoFold is an app that makes plain text files behave like dynamic files. Use-cases include: auto updating documentation, text based dashboards, text virtual assistants, text spreadsheets, turn based games, etc.

How to preserve data indefinitely:
1. Slice and checksum your data.
2. Store it on redundant hard drives, manufactured by multiple vendors, kept in redundant locations.
Then, periodically have a human being:
1. Check that the data still matches its checksums, restoring from redundant copies as necesasry.
2. Copy the data onto the latest modern long-term storage media, cycle out obsolete storage media.
3. Do regular maintenance on the software necessary to read and interpret the data.
4. Translate data requiring the interpretation of natural langauge into modern dialects and languages.
Set up a fund to pay for the ongoing maintenance of the data. However, be aware that it will always be up to future generations to decide what data is worth preserving.

"Do you have something to hide?" is a manipulative rebuke to those that use #encryption.
It would help us all turn this conversation around. Because, the answer is: YES, we do have something to hide.
Things that we should hide, and must question why a government or business NEEDS access to:
- Medical history.
- Sensitive conversations with employers, children, spouses.
- Billing and banking information.
- Purchase information.
- Web search history.
And more...
