If you hoard comics like I do, this is the reader you’ve been dreaming of.
You should just link the github/gitlab/etc with screenshots.
No one will watch 40min of whatever video.
(If you are farming views then I understand why you did it this way.)
I’m a bit confused. The link is there in the description?
OP edited the post.
I think they meant on the video description.
I’m not able to watch the video right now; is this actually using the gopher protocol?
remembers Gofer programming language from CS unit and shudders
No, it’s written in Go. Thee language mascot is a gopher.
cbz files are not encrypted, they’re just zip files full of images with the xtension changed to “cbz”. Similarly, CBR files are the same thing, but using rar compression.
If you are referring to zip “password protection”, then I guess that’s technically valid, although why anyone would rely on such trivially-cracked security is beyond me.
