OK this is the last #ColorectalCancer post I’ll share today, I promise!

Every year since my cancer surgery, I’ve participated in the “Get Your Rear In Gear” (GYRIG) 5K, which raises money for cancer awareness and to help fund treatments for people who can’t afford it.

It’s a great way to give back.

Способы Повышения Надежности Встраиваемого ПО

В этом тексте я бы хотел перечислить способы повышения надежности для встраиваемого ПО. Cуществует много приемов, которые помогают повысить надежность встраиваемого ПО. Как прошивка может противостоять всяческим флунктуациям во время своей работы и обезопасить себя от зависания или повреждения исходных данных?

Calorie Restriction Guide: Science-Backed Benefits, Risks, and How to Do It Right

===================

Executive summary: A technical demonstration walks through converting arbitrary files into video containers for storage on YouTube. The project documents practical constraints (YouTube file/length limits, metadata stripping, and aggressive transcoding) and presents a workflow combining chunking, integrity checks, and forward error correction to enable file reconstruction after upload.

Technical details:
• Encapsulation: The workflow targets standard video containers and uses video and audio tracks as the durable carriers because YouTube strips most metadata and can reject subtitle payloads.
• Integrity checks: Uses multiple CRC flavors to detect corrupted chunks prior to reconstruction.
• Forward error correction: Implements Wirehair (an O(N) fountain code) to create redundant symbols so that the original file can be recovered despite dropped or heavily altered chunks during YouTube transcoding.
• Encoding channel: Embeds payload bits into transform-domain coefficients — specifically leveraging the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) used by common codecs — to hide data within compressed frames while balancing capacity and survivability.

Implementation concepts:
• Chunking strategy: Files are split into chunks sized to fit per-video capacity limits (YouTube supports up to 256 GB or 12 hours), then encoded into frames or audio payloads with added FEC symbols.
• Hybrid error-proof algorithm: Combines CRC validation for corruption detection with fountain-code-based redundancy for recovery of missing symbols.
• Codec selection: Emphasizes that codec choice and compression aggressiveness materially affect recoverability; lower-loss codecs and control of quantization on DCT coefficients increase success rates.

Use cases and limitations:
• Practical use cases include long-term archival of very large files and covert transport where traditional storage is unavailable. The approach is constrained by platform policy, upload limits, potential content removal, and the non-deterministic nature of platform transcoding pipelines.

Detection and considerations:
• Detection vectors are platform-specific; artifacts include atypical frame-level entropy patterns and persistent non-media payloads in transform coefficients. The talk notes that subtitles/metadata are unreliable for storage because of sanitization.

References and tooling:
• The presentation references the Wirehair fountain codec and recommends studying CRC variants and video compression internals. Visualizations were created with Manim and DaVinci Resolve.
