Links are almost always base64 encoded now and the online url decoders always produce garbage. I was wondering if there is a project out there that would allow me to self-host this type of tool?
I'd probably network this container through gluetun because, yanno, privacy.
Edit to add: Doesn't have to be specifically base64 focused. Any link decoder that I can use in a privacy respecting way, would be welcome.
Edit 2: See if your solution will decode this link (the one in the image): https://link.sfchronicle.com/external/41488169.38548/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG90ZG9nYmlsbHMuY29tL2hhbWJ1cmdlci1tb2xkcy9idXJnZXItZG9nLW1vbGQ_c2lkPTY4MTNkMTljYzM0ZWJjZTE4NDA1ZGVjYSZzcz1QJnN0X3JpZD1udWxsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV90ZXJtPWJyaWVmaW5nJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1zZmNfYml0ZWN1cmlvdXM/6813d19cc34ebce18405decaB7ef84e41 (it should decode to this page: https://www.hotdogbills.com/hamburger-molds)
No one is demanding anything. I’m simply stating my preferred solution, which would work on both mobile and desktop, and asking if anyone knows if that solution or something similar already exists.
Nothing suggested so far will properly decode the link that I’ve included above.
But there is no reason to build something duplicative if a solution is already out there. Hence, the post.
you strike me as a competent developer but you lack the experience with Linux.
install xclip, then copy your URL and use the following command.
there's probably a better way but I'm just remembering off the top of my head.
could probably pipe it into something that would spit it out with each param on new lines but you'll need to google that.
