Problem type

Output the contents of this file with as few characters of code as possible.

Notes:

Your score is $2^{16} - \text{len}(\text{code})$ ~2^{16} - \text{len}(\text{code})~.
Your code length is counted by the Python 3 len() function on a UTF-8 encoded str data type.
\r characters are stripped from your code before counting the number of characters.
Your output does not need to contain any whitespace characters. Leading and trailing whitespace characters are removed before comparison.
The code that generated the file can be found here. To run it, you must have Node.js installed.

I just found out that the scoring formula makes it impossible to fully solve this problem. For the output, should it be one line or just multiple lines? Am I allowed to read the file directly?
