Can I concatenate multiple non-crypto hash functions to reduce collision?

Seeking input on wallpaper utility
Annoyingly enough, while you claim to use XDG_CONFIG_HOME, you're only using $HOME/.config which is what it defaults to but not what the user might have set. Use os.Getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME") or similar functions to get the directory that the user have actually set to. You could also just use this package
-
Generic path to Documents folder for every user?
Perhaps use packages like https://github.com/adrg/xdg, that do the magic also for all operating systems.
