Similar to base64
, bubble babble is intended to provide human-readable encoding of arbitrary binary data.
Unlike base64
, bubble babble is intended to be pronouncable and easier to remember.

Decoding doesn't handle pipe buffering very well:
$ time ( dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1M count=32 status=none | bb | bb -d > /dev/null )
Invalid input: missing dash delimiter. (Got a 'x' with value 120 instead.)
real 0m0.092s
user 0m0.090s
sys 0m0.067s
This can be ameliorated using buffer
(which probably isn't installed by default, but will be in your package manager).
$ time ( dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1M count=32 status=none | bb | buffer | bb -d > /dev/null )
