I'm definitely in that category of misconception where I would assume adding extra bits of information before encryption may help the strength of the encryption somehow but it really doesn't at all I guess.

Yeah I don't know who the poster is, but the original is posted on the lemmy.ml instance. I think it's a bot maybe attempting to federate non federated content or something? I don't really understand how it ends up on the programming.dev instance.

It for that limited scenario where you want to send a image but all you can send it text

Your right. That isn't doing anything except effectively lowering image quality potential since it's just adding extra data for no reason.

I should update so it's only running base64 after...that's just so it's easily copypastable

It looks very similar to the flock condor. The black box looks like a flock compute box but I'm not sure.

Maybe, but I could see the university pd as a prime org to run your investigations through as a proxy.

They aren't going to be beholden to a city council or anything
