{ I've now written a tiny LRS compression library/utility called [shitpress](shitpress.md), check it out at https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/shitpress. It's fewer than 200 LOC, so simple it can nicely serve educational purposes. The principle is simple, kind of a dictionary method, where the dictionary is simply the latest output 64 characters; if we find a long word that occurred recently, we simply reference it with mere 2 bytes. It works relatively well for most data! ~drummyfish }
{ There is a cool compressing competition known as Hutter Prize that offers 500000 pounds to anyone who can break the current record for compressing [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md). Currently the record is at compressing 1GB down to 115MB. See http://prize.hutter1.net for more. ~drummyfish }

{ [LMAO](lmao.md) retard [patents](patent.md) are being granted on impossible compression algorithms, see e.g. http://gailly.net/05533051.html. See also [Sloot Digital Coding System](sloot.md), a miraculous compression algorithm that "could store a whole movie in 8 KB" lol. ~drummyfish }
