yeah I'm havin fun with it lol no custom compression, mostly just xChaCha20Poly1305 to encrypt the data itself, and argon2 for key-derivation + hashing, at least for now I hasn't considered adding compression too but that could be a pretty useful feature! - ThreadSky

If I was to build that project myself I would've chosen scrypt >.< it's been a while since I last worked on encryption. I'm currently building a decentralised scm tool in Rust and I'm going crazy hunting for efficient compression algorithms. We still need to find a way to encrypt files though :(

It's under agpl2 and will have a client for mobile and desktop.

Still lots of engineering work to do. I'm also using clap because why not, but I ended up writing my own parser before I knew about clap 🤣

oh nice, sounds pretty neat!

could be fun to try writing the compression yourself, if ur into that sorta thing I suppose, or perhaps something like https://crates.io/crates/brotli lol which I haven't used before but I know it's pure rust (no std lib) so cross compilation should be easier

I'm interested into writing myself my own custom lossy compression algorithm and so a bit of research as well, my pain point: I need to support many filetypes and it's not like one box supports all.

Then you have the people who want to store the raw data, and since it's a scm, you know that the bucket will just keep growing for each version and my average consumer would go crazy because my system uses many terabytes of space.

I think to get away with a simple compression algorithm ultimately.

Either that or offer different compression algorithms for their files, and educate the end user about the cost of storing and backing up multiple versions of a file.

I reported the bot account, it wasn't me. Someone was targeting me.

I didn't see whatever it was

Someone created a bot that is basically salty and auto replies to my posts automatically. I keep reporting the account but it just spawns new accounts nonstop.
