@Parzi
That's sounds actually pretty useful for testing stuff like data-recovery or integrity-checking. -
Parzi88335y@metamourge i was thinking more ROM corruption but yeah, true.
@alexbrooklyn ALSO true, but would they be able to use a RESTful API? -
@powerfulparadox cut out the middleman, promote corruption from the comfort of home like a pro
-
Parzi88335y@kescherRant yeah but does that have a RESTful API and have it as a service?
@alexbrooklyn well ofc it'll have a UI, not everyone's gonna be able to use the API -
Web based thing? You can make an app for desktop that dosent have a size limit and has more features. Web based system in that case is inferior. (No hosting requred for an app neither)

Parzi88335y@Gregozor2121 i was thinking for automation and in-program use without too much overhead (because legacy devices are still used in places, and sometimes you just don't wanna corrupt a file on a CPU while compiling or something. Plus user error is nigh eliminated so you have a 0% chance of hosing a system via CAAS instead of on-client where someone might do something stupid.)

Why not just send the corrupted file in the response rather than using server storage
Idea: Corruption as a service.
RESTful API where you send a URL to a file, an intensity and a method, and if the file's under some size, we return a URL to the now-corrupted file on the server, which is removed after like 5 minutes of inactivity or something.
Depending on method and intensity, corruption amount varies from one byte to every byte being either replaced or added to/subtracted from by a certain amount.
