Babel-USB
TL;DR
It's a virtual file system that uses math to simulate a drive containing every possible file permutation, effectively a digital Library of Babel.
Who is this actually for?
Cryptography nerds, CS students, and developers who enjoy theoretical computer science pranks more than building actual products.
The Good
- A clever, geeky implementation of a mathematical concept.
- Great for showing off your understanding of FUSE and virtual file systems.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
It is fundamentally useless for any productive work and will likely make your OS file indexer have a total meltdown.
