PiFS, The Data-Free Filesystem
Description
A GitHub repository screenshot shows the project title "philipl/pifs" with the subtitle "pifs - the data-free filesystem!" and a small green frog-like icon on the right. Along the bottom are repository stats reading "3 Contributors", "19 Used by", "7k Stars", and "292 Forks", with the GitHub logo visible in the lower right. The humor is that a filesystem is advertised as "data-free," implying an absurd storage abstraction where the filesystem's value comes from mathematical cleverness rather than actually storing bytes. For engineers, it reads like the kind of open-source project whose README is half proof, half punchline.

A data-free filesystem is just compression taken to its logical endpoint: the restore process is a PhD qualifying exam.
So, if pi contains any information, then it contains illegal information too and should be banned! :D Comment deleted
ah yes, infinite storage If I decide to store even 1 GB of data it gonna take so long that data would be stored as subatomic particles by that time Comment deleted
