The π Filesystem for FUSE: Store Your Data in π (github.com/philipl)

I found this really cool. I thought of this idea in college about 15 years ago, but more for compression, thinking that we could compress a file as tuples of Pi "coordinates"; and even did some tests, but of course with PIII and PIV processors it was unpractical.

As the processing power is increasing, at some point this might become a practical form of compression.
