months. Squashed to make it neater than 219 commits.

comment and whitespace cleanup

comments; fix trailing-space style in permissions block

sumfiles (sha256sums.txt, b2sums.txt); add BLAKE2b verification alongside
SHA-256; fix signature extension (.asc not .sig); improve CLI (--file,
--export-dir flags; remove --all; default runs all checks); improve VirusTotal

We are temporarily disabling the Matrix homeserver at anonymousplanet
dot net due to the inability to keep up with infrastructure costs. This
is the last attempt we will make until we know the services will be more
reliable and we apologize for the inconvenience and instability. This is
a joint decision caused by late payments to our hosting provider and we
decided it best to simply leave things down and focus on other matters.
We never really wanted to make a big deal about servers and services on
them, it was mostly about community and chatting with like-minded
individuals. We'll be around on Matrix still, just reach out to us if
you have questions or comments.
