Broke: file names have a max character length.

Woke: split b64-encoded data into numbered parts and add .part-1..n suffix to each file name.

    each file is minimum 4kb

    (base64.length/max_character) * min_filesize < actual_file_size

    $ touch empty_file
$ ls -l

-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 0 may 14 20:13 empty_file
$ wc -c empty_file
