Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?

It’s a bit of a weird shower thought but basically I was wondering hypothetical if it would be possible to take data from a social media site like Reddit and map the most commonly used words starting at 1 and use a separate application to translate it back and forth....

There is simply no way to pre-store any arbitrary long text because the possible combination is just tooo huge. It is like draw a bullseye where you arrow landed. You search any paragraph, it search existing index, if not found then save it and assign it a new index. Of course it may use some algorithms to optimize/decrease the space needed.

From it’s wiki page, …wikipedia.org/…/The_Library_of_Babel_(website)‘’’ The website can generate all possible pages of 3200 characters and allows users to choose among about 10^4677 potential pages of books. ‘’’

PS, I think again, indeed this actually does not need any storage, it can be URL to text encoding/decoding, the URL itself can determine/generate the actual text. And same for the opposite direction

Full of ‘excuses’, don’t want to repeat, you can google many articles about gpl violation (or not). My opinion is this is bad. Your based on thousand other people’s free/open source work, and added your work, if you want to limit/restrict public access, then don’t use gpl based linux, go back to your AIX. ( This restriction is violation GPL, I know lawyer with huge money can argue anything, so again imo)

Haha, TSR, man, good old memories… Is there a famous TSR called sidekick? Chain of CD 09H… :)

xordos ,

No, you can run it on your own homelab just fine. If you don’t have it already, you just need a (usually free) dynamic subdomain so your instance have a normal URL instead of IP.

Want share my 2c as I prefer testing over sid. It is balance which side you want. Sid got break more freq but also fixed more quickly. Testing has less break but fix also come slowly. For me I prefer less break. So I setup preference/policy to get testing higher than sid. This is not for breakage/fix nor security fix. This is about package available. I think Firefox is one example that testing only has esr so it will install latest from sid and most other packages still tracking testing. Again personal choices and that’s beauty of Linux.

xordos ,

yeah, I agree with you, for anyone new to debian maybe should follow official suggestion. But as user using debian so long, I think I understand the risk (of course the benefit) of my setup. Maybe I will try sid someday. Have a nice day!
