Broke: file names have a max character length.
Woke: split b64-encoded data into numbered parts and add .part-1..n suffix to each file name.
Browse your own machine as if it's under alt.film.binaries but more so
I'd go with a prefix, so it's ls-friendly.
each file is minimum 4kb
(base64.length/max_character) * min_filesize < actual_file_size
For this to pay off
