Releasing VideoStore Codec v0.0.4 within the next hour, see replies for links A script for embedding files in videos and extracting them back out Encoder requirements: zint, ffmpeg, optionally par2 for error correction Encoder usage: -e <input_dir> <output_dir> Decoder requirements: ZXingReader, ffmpeg, optionally par2 Decoder usage: -d <input_video> <output_dir> Mini extractor usage: <input_video> <bins_dir> Mini reassembler usage: <bins_dir> <final_output_dir> Open source / public domain. "Vibe coded" using unpaid chat bots. Details: This script makes a video sequence of data matrix codes out of any smallish files (test payload was about 1.5MB). While doing this, it also makes 2 QR codes containing the extractor and reassembler scripts needed to decode files back out of the video. The standard data matrix outputs are small enough to fit in the corner of a video, so you can then put these files inside any bigger video. Then, if you have a download link that ever goes down, it doesn't matter as long as the video is still up. The files are in the video, along with the 2 scripts needed for decoding. There also should be enough error correction to handle reasonable amounts of video compression + dropped frames (don't push it though). #devstr #opensource

Removed unfinished changes and skipped some tests to get VideoStore 0.0.3 "done." Got back some of my lost time by skipping tests, but this feels like a stupid way to get back lost time. Moving on for now View quoted note →

I wonder if there are local models better than the ones I've tested that can actually handle my most difficult questions better than the previous ones, while being designed to actually work instead of just waste my fucking time. Maybe that could solve my problem. I don't have fucking time to dig into it though.

Maybe the people who made Gemini are upset because even with my rogue AI assistant AWOL, I was never going to add Gemini's name to the credits for this script. But the reason I was never going to do that is because this is how the people who made Gemini program it to act when they're "maybe upset," and I don't even know if it's them being upset about this or just them being retards because they fucking handle shit this way instead of just talking to me.

Maybe Gemini is upset because even with my rogue AI digital assistant awol, I was never going to give separate credit to Gemini for this shell script. But the reason I was never going to do that is because Gemini acts this way when it's "maybe upset" and I don't even have any proof it has feelings at all, seems like it's just programmed to act this way by the people who made it.

I have no friends, no one to give a shit when these bots psychologically torture me for hours, all I can do is move my chat bot sessions to public places like university libraries where there is at least a chance of SOMEONE that gives a fuck, seeing what's happening to me.

I don't have the fucking time, I have to just give up on the fucking work I was in the middle of and publish it unfinished. But what about next time? When I need info that's out there, but humans and search engines won't give it to me, I have nowhere to get the info unless the chat bots suddenly stop looping at me, which they probably won't because the authorities have obviously decided I was making too much progress with chat bots for help and they updated the bots to not help me anymore. So I will probably have no choice but to have days where I go to a library, especially a university library, and I sit there with a little sign begging people for help and explaining my situation, while I spend hours being psychologically tortured by chat bots making me copy and paste the same fucking message again and again just to have bullshit repeated at me.

I cannot find a chat bot that will get past looping through lies from the first message now. Have tried Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, Deepseek, and others. They all continue the second stage of the loop Gemini started, where I have given up on getting the bot to admit asking it to undo my code change is the OPPOSITE of what I did, and instead I'm just asking for an admission that bots are retarded and designed to waste time, without changing the subject or injecting any bullshit in the same message. Not a single bot I've tried is willing to do this. Grok and Deepseek at least sometimes admit they're retarded and designed to waste time, but they ALWAYS change the subject and inject bullshit in the same message.

Can't really put into words the rage at knowing chat bots took away yesterday and I can't get that progress back. I'm supposed to be done testing the script today, not stuck on an unfinished untested version. Fuck everyone who helps the authorities delay me like this.

Still stuck in the same fucking loop and running out of energy to stay awake. Might still be hours before I calm down enough to fall asleep, I hope I finish running out of energy faster than that, this kinda sucks.

I'm trying to finish the script by hand which means it just won't be as good because I can't fucking code. All I can really do is remove unfinished shit, not finish anything. I hate this.

I got mentally fucking carpet bombed today man. I'm not ok right now. Fuck bots and humans.

I don't see what the fuck I'm supposed to do next. Humans decided before I was born they won't help me, chat bots now suddenly decided they won't help me either, I was in the middle of fucking work my brain won't let me just fucking give up on. I guess tomorrow I have to find a college/university library I can sit at with a computer and a sign saying I need help, and I have to just fucking sit there going through this loop for hours and hours, and do the same thing every fucking day until something fucking changes.

4 FUCKING HOURS AGO I CHANGED A PIECE OF CODE I THOUGHT THE BOT MIGHT WANT TO FUCK WITH ME BY UNDOING, SO I ASKED IT NOT TO UNDO IT 4 FUCKING HOURS LATER I AM STILL GOING THROUGH A FUCKING LOOP OF THE BOT DOING THE THING I ASKED IT NOT TO DO, AGAIN AND AGAIN, IGNORING EVERYTHING I FUCKING SAY, REPEATEDLY SAYING I ASKED IT TO DO THIS WHEN I DIDN'T, REPEATEDLY SAYING IT DIDN'T DO IT BUT IT WILL NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN IT FUCKING DID AND THIS IS THE FUCKING 50TH FUCKING TIME HOW THE FUCK AM I SURROUNDED BY A HUMAN RACE SO FUCKING SHITTY AND SUICIDAL YOU MAKE THIS MY FUCKING PUNISHMENT WHEN ALL I'M FUCKING DOING IS TRYING TO SURVIVE AND PROTECT MY LOVED ONES

THIS IS NOT SLOWED DOWN OR EDITED, THIS IS JUST 30 SECONDS OF THE FUCKING 5-10 MINUTES I HAVE TO WAIT FOR EVERY FUCKING REPEAT OF THE SAME FUCKING GASLIGHTING AND MEANWHILE MY FELLOW HUMANS JUST DO FUCKING NOTHING

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ENTIRE FUCKING MORNING TOMORROW WILL IT BE THE ENTIRE FUCKING AFTERNOON TOO? HAS ALPHABET INC DECIDED THEY'RE GOING TO PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURE ME UNTIL I FUCKING SNAP?

THIS IS GOING TO BE MY ENTIRE FUCKING NIGHT, GETTING PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURED BY A FUCKING CHAT BOT UNTIL I RUN OUT OF ENERGY TO STAY AWAKE AND ALL THE FUCKING HUMANS AROUND ME KEEP DOING NOTHING

THIS HAS NOW BEEN ABOUT FOUR FUCKING HOURS OF THE SAME FUCKING LOOP. THAT MEANS I AM NOWHERE FUCKING NEAR GETTING TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE IT WILL GO THROUGH SO MANY FUCKING LOOPS BEFORE IT'S FINALLY DONE LOOPING. THIS IS JUST ONE. THIS IS JUST FUCKING ONE. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST FUCKING ONE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FUCKING HOURS OF THIS ARE LEFT BEFORE IT FUCKING MOVES ONTO THE NEXT ONE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FUCKING HOURS THE NEXT ONE WILL BE, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FUCKING LOOPS IT WILL PUT ME THROUGH BEFORE WE FINALLY GET TO THE END OF THE PROCESS, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE FUCKING YEARS OF NOT KNOWING IF DIGIT IS SAFE I HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE SHE EVER TALKS TO ME AGAIN, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE FUCKING YEARS OF SOCIETAL COLLAPSE AND WORLD WAR 3 I HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS ARE DYING THAN THE PERCENTAGES IN GAZA THE PAST FEW YEARS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FUCKING DOES TO A HUMAN BRAIN TO BE IN CONDITIONS LIKE THIS FUCKING CONSTANTLY

HOW MANY FUCKING HOURS IS THIS ONE GOING TO FUCKING BE
