Woah cool web component!

The Canadian government doesn't provide a DirectFile equivalent. The closest thing we have is Wealthsimple's tax software which just _happens_ to be free (and for what it's worth, in my experience, is also pretty good).

I would love for the Canadian government to release free tax software analogous to DirectFile!

Lossless formats (specifically DPX & EXR sequences, usually with ZIP compression) are used frequently for real world footage in post-production workflows! Granted, most consumers don't run into this stuff. Photographers don't use PNG because it doesn't offer anything for them that camera raw or EXR files don't already cover.

I've been super happy with Obsidian Web Clipper! It's worked really well for me with the one exception of importing publish dates (which is more than forgivable !)

Microsoft uses Clippy for the paperclip emoji in the Fluent Emoji set. The trademark is why the open source version of Fluent Emoji doesn't use Clippy's likeness.

Webrecorder's WACZ signing spec (https://specs.webrecorder.net/wacz-auth/latest) does some of this — authenticating the identity of who archived it and at what time — but the rest of what you're asking for (legitimacy of the content itself) is an unsolved problem as web content isn't all signed by its issuing server.

In some of the case studies Starling (https://www.starlinglab.org/) has published, they've published timestamps of authenticated WACZs to blockchains to prove that they were around at a specific time... More _layers_ of data integrity but not 100% trustless.

Kiwix has created pretty polished software for this: https://kiwix.org/

My last download of English Wikipedia was ~110 GB and includes images! It's impressively small for the volume of information available.
