    My week is going well, I was watching a Veritasium video about QR codes. About 20 minutes in he talks about some sort of complicated maths that I do not understand but the idea behind QR codes is cool. It actually got me thinking about how archive.org went down and how cool it would be to have a code that holds lots of information for preservation. I was thinking each square could represent a single character based on its hex colour once all characters are used other hex colours could be used to store combinations of characters. Idk how practical it would be but if the size of the .png/.webp size can get smaller than the size of the information stored it would be really useful for data preservation.
