I see sooo many comments on this submission talking about large files. It feels massively over-relresented a concern to me.

On Linux, a good number of FS have builtin compression. My JSON all gets hit with lz4 compression automatically.

It indeed annoying having to go compress & decompress files before sending. It'd be lovely if file transfer tools (including messaging apps) were a bit better at auto-conpressing. I think with btrfs, it tests for compress ability too, will give up on trying to compress at some point: a similar effort ought be applied here.

The large file question & efficiency question feels like it's dominating this discussion, and it just doesn't seem particularly interesting or fruitful a concern to me. It shouldnt matter much. The computer can and should generally be able to eliminate most of the downsides relatively effectively.
