I remember a conversation with some using an in-house file transfer system “Oh you won’t be able to send more than X GBytes, at that point the chances that the base64 encoding contains a banned rude word become too high, and the transfer will fail”
- reuben364 3y agoI wonder what the optimal encoding is given a list of banned words for any substring of a message.
- namibj 3y agoJust use a r-ANS entropy coder with feedback skipping symbols that would result in a ban from being possible to encode at that moment... I think. Unless I've gotten confused about the limits of dynamic prediction abilities in ANS. I think it's just that the encoder and decoder run in opposite directions through the encoded symbols, but read-ahead during decoding shouldn't be a problem...

- PurpleRamen 3y agoMaybe it's time to convert base64 to high UTF8-areas. I guess there won't be any keyword-filter yet for ancient egyptian hieroglyphs. I'm curious whether there are already emoji-filters...

- jwestbury 3y ago> ecoji In a similar vein, a former colleague of mine created this Python package: https://pypi.org/project/piickle/ https://pypi.org/project/piickle/ It's functionally the same as pickle, except it binary-encodes the data with spaces and pickle emoji.
