Digest 🫕 🚀 #integrity

[Michael Vorburger]

Namaste esteemed Enola.dev listeners,

I've recently had some fun going down the Hash-landia & Encoditis rabbit holes.

Just in case you haven't digested your 🫕 from the holidays yet, Enola.dev can now digest MACs 🍔. And just because hard-coding Base64 and SHA-2_512 felt a bit boring, it supports Multiformats. You can (for now) use this to validate fetched resource, and thanks to the #troll Base256Emoji encoding, check the integrity of a greeting from an URL is as expected, like this:

$ enola fetch --http-scheme "https://www.vorburger.ch/hello.md?integrity=🚀🖥😋🎉😜🌔🤞🌔💕👐👋👇😪👈😩🧡🙂🎂🙂🥴👍😩😏⭐✈👉🌘💻🍺🏆🙋🏆😐📍🐾👈⬇😍💾🤐😖🙁😷😶🌱🙂😒💋🌚😃💩🍃💎☄🙆▶😀🤫💆🕺☄👼😣☕💞🥳💿"
hello, world

What does any of this have to do with Enola's Knowledge Management vision, you ask? Great question - because nothing much; except if I ever wanted to calculate hashes of (RDF) Things to distribute them on some content-addressable storage (CAS), like perhaps on IPLD & IPFS one fine day... then this groundwork may come in handy as foundation to build upon.

Other recent new features include direct ipfs: and data: URL schemes support, some JBang fun, version bumps & Bazel clean-up. I've also explored an ultimately #failed Graph Commons integration; and next up might be some other Network Graph visualization related work.

Best wishes for 2025,

M.
