About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dXN1YWxseQ==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
N	001101	13
1	110101	53
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
x	110001	49
s	101100	44
e	011110	30
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01110101 01110011 01110101 01100001 01101100 01101100 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110101	u
01110011	s
01110101	u
01100001	a
01101100	l
01101100	l
01111001	y
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "usually"
