I mean… It’s decoding into garbage because you’re feeding it more than just the base64 section. I suppose if you’re already running nginx or something you could easily make a page that uses javascript to break the link down (possibly using /, ?, = as separators) and decode sections that look like base64. If you make it javascript and client side there’s not really any privacy concerns.

EDIT: Oops. My Lemmy client didn’t load the other replies at first, I didn’t realize you already had plenty of other options.

I got used to all the other Linux commands, but I had to make an alias for md=mkdir. Why that already isn’t a thing is beyond me.

I was expecting him to lay off half of them.
