- hinkley 7y agoFirst piece of software I ever wrote was a base92 encoder. When I looked at b64 is was even worse than the 3:4 I had been told. B64 as originally used (with an extra >2.6% for line splitting) is handily over 35%. As we use it now it’s still a bit over 33%, because of the == endings to detect truncation... 66% of the time.
