/* Calculate the boot block checksum on an ADFS drive. Note that this will appear to be correct if the sector contains all zeros, so also check that the disk size is non-zero!!! */

From this week's Linux Update newsletter: Tim Schürmann looks at where blockchain is being used today outside cryptocurrencies

I remember being pretty excited when I found out #Dolphin has a built in #checksum verification tool.
But in all fairness, if there's a mundane terminal task, there's probably a desktop tool with GUI that can be used like #GtkHash.
Of course, it's not as convenient as going "right click > properties". But it's nice to know that there are options for situations where we have to use a different desktop environment.

Checksum - it's like digital fingerprint
( #Fixity 
and #Checksum - #DigiPresBingo)
AFAIK, there's only one existing Vim plugin for buffer checksums, and it's quite old, relying heavily on terminal tools. I've developed a newer version using Vim9Script and the V language. Contributions and ideas are welcome. #Vim #VLang #Checksum #Programming #vim9script

@samirx Granted AFAIK @tails_live / @tails / #Tails does some #signature and #Checksum checks to enshure it's integrity, as anything but the seperate #PersistentStorage partition is mounted #ReadOnly...
Script validation with calc-sum and check-sum
https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/2314e855-11d6-4a2e-b995-c911fba04a62
Made good progress on my file integrity tools lately.
Calc-sum updates sha3-512 checksums in a hash-list.
When executing my scripts I can check the file integrity with check-sum while running. This is a security measure; sometimes I type in a file by accident without noticing. But now check-sum holds the script if the file has changed and the integrity check fails. For remote files this can of course also work as an extra security tool.
Why is it so damn hard to do a checksum thing on linux mint? FFS. Is it just me? I tried following the instructions and it's like a bunch of steps and I can't even find the right place to get GnuPg.
I feel like I must be missing something.

bit of a tangential rant that is disjointed. sry.
#random: I'm obviously 69-times checking my files on the archive if ever it has been modified by sheer accident (by checksums and signing) so I couldn't be messed with extracting them again.
For the freaks out there, I also implemented a signature system just to be extra sure about the origin of the files. I also redid my pubkeys again (as I forgot my old one and couldn't revoke it).
You can check my PGP pubkey fingerprint on my bio.
Doing some checksum work to ensure the integrity of the files in the Windows Phone Emulator Images Archives (something I didn't do in the previous one with Windows Mobile).
Checksums for VHDs and BINs are available, in MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and CRC32 to verify the integrity of these large files (ranging from 77MB to 2.9GB).
I updated the sendmeshfile.sh script to include md5 checksums for the previous base64 line sent. This should allow "error detection" if a receiver misses a line (much notes in the bash comments):
