History

The Moulsham High School was built as a senior boys school in 1938. The lack of teachers after World War II meant that classes had limited teachers. There were only 10-25 boys per class. At the end of every year, an elderly gentleman would visit the school and give a prize to the best pupil. There were no examinations held in 1950, and most of the boys were expected to go to work at local factories. Discipline was strict, and misbehaviour would mean being sent to the headmaster's office where he had two canes. Mr 'Jock' Hutchinson was the first headmaster. Hutchinson had previously been headmaster at Trinity Road School. As a keen boxer, Hutchinson held boxing sessions during lunch break.

gollark: ... no.
gollark: Thus bad.
gollark: It does NOT allow random access.
gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™️ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end, finds the latest versions and decompresses stuff at the right offsetThere are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
gollark: I have been pondering an osmarksarchiveformat™ because I dislike the existing ones somewhat. Specifically for backups and append-only-ish access. Thusly, thoughts on the design (crossposted from old esolangs)?
