After a month I bring a good news.

I looked into the well known triva about name of most popular text adventure.

The difference would be, that message could be shared in coordinates, not the link itself. This implementation on my site is just prototype.

Idea was, that just like with spies - if you have a medior component in communication, you can communicate without knowing who is on the other side. This medior would only tell you the location where the message will be hidden (stashed). Like when two spies exchange information without meeting each other.

Hands down Debian.

From all I tested, it offers best synergy for all I wanted. Biggest package repo, every problem is nicely searchable and has nice community.

I hear your point. We truly don't know what will future bring, even less the future of year 292 billion. But again, I am proposing the software complete solution - even without current use case.

hello, truly, the code can use an optimization, that's why I presented it as an proposition or rather idea. E.g. the digits could be byte. However, the idea is no joke at all. Point was to offer complete software solution, dependable only on hardware. But I am open to any feedback.

I would like to thank all of you for reading my blog. It means a lot to me!

I think I need to address the many comments about my qemu/kvm rant... I think my experience could be best described by the user asciimov in his comment. I don't know what I do wrong, but I always get some error messages and barely make the virtualization work. Never even get to network the VMs.

With .net ported back to 95, one should get his security ready too.

I must say that for myself, I still learn/reference many things from programming books... Mostly Perl and Java, but none of them have promise of teaching me programming in any time interval. Rarely do I ask for help online as I was ridiculed for most of the time. Nowadays, if paper is insufficient I consult with the AI, but I still refuse to use copilot.
