Comment on Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 19 hours agoWell, the URL is a bit weird.
echo "aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG90ZG9nYmlsbHMuY29tL2hhbWJ1cmdlci1tb2xkcy9idXJnZXItZG9nLW1vbGRzCg" | base64 -d
gives me your string. But there are a few characters off at the end. And then there are 176 characters left. I suppose the underscore is some delimiter. The rest is:
echo "c2lkPTY4MTNkMTljYzM0ZWJjZTE4NDA1ZGVjYSZzcz1QJnN0X3JpZD1udWxsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV90ZXJtPWJyaWVmaW5nJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1zZmNfYml0ZWN1cmlvdXM" | base64 -d

I really appreciate all of the time and effort you spent on this url. You’re right, the url is weird, which is why I thought it was a good example.
But you nailed it with this last sentence. Especially when one is on mobile.
Thanks for replying again.

I know. Guess I mainly wanted to say your given solution isn't the entire story and the potential tool should decode the parameters as well, they might or might not be important. I'm often at the computer and I regularly do one-off tasks this way... But I'm aware it might not be an one-off task to you and you might not have a Linux terminal open 24/7 either 😉 Hope some of the other people have what you need. And btw... since I clicked on a few of the suggestions: I think URL encoding is a different thing, that's with all the percent signs and not base64 like here.
