@bender To be fair it really isn’t sha256sum
vs. b2sum
. Neither is more complicated than the other.
e.g:
$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | sha256sum | awk '{ print $1 }' | xxd -r -p | base64 | head -c 12

@prologic is base64
more desirable than base32
? I noticed I get alphanumeric replacing base64
with base32
.
@bender Nope not at all. base64 just encodes more bits
