I don’t have tiktok so I had to find this like a mole digging for worms and nothing could have prepared me for the actual video itself

Do you have a repo where one might review the arcane CLI incantations you have carefully crafted to facilitate this?

I too would like to make objectively bad versions of films (but being able to automatically identify scene splits could be useful in other ways too).

Oooh I'm a doofus!

I've had two silly video editing projects over the last couple weeks:

1. Making worse and worse copies of Armageddon (1998) for my roommate's polycule.

2. Working on a project where I split Star Trek TNG episodes by scene, and mix them back together in random order.

Why didn't I just do this to Armageddon?!

Take the film, dump it in the split by scenes tool, shuffle the order, glue them back together. Bam. That is one BAD fucking copy of Armageddon (1998)! Perhaps even hilariously so? Let's find out!

Completely unrelated, the kobo web reader sucks to read comics in. Much better reading experience once I got those suckers out.

This is what victory looks like.

You'll all be glad to know the DRM has been defeated. Now it's just conversion city.

I've taught my cat that he has to inspect the knife I pull out of the drawer before I will use it to serve him tuna.

A brilliant idea that keeps him from jumping at the drawer every time we open it.

But I did not count on the look of disappointment on his face every time I fail to present him a utensil for inspection.

Fireball is actually an unfinished, unstable spell.  It’s just, no wizard has ever been ballsy enough to try and cast the complete version before.

Conversion path is stupid, but here it is.

Kepub -> drm free epub -> htmlz -> cbz via hybrid bash/PHP script.

Tried to go to PDF to utilize my existing conversion tools but calibre didn't seem capable of setting page sizes to the contained image dimensions on a per image basis.

Ended up leveraging PHP because I needed to parse the generated html to be able to put the images in the correct order.

Which means the php script extracts the htmlz archive, parses the index.html to get the image order, renames the images using zero padding so that they are naturally in the right order, and repacks the images as a cbz, including the cover as the first item if one was included.

But, the final result is a high quality drm free cbz. Exactly what I wanted.

You'll all be glad to know the DRM has been defeated. Now it's just conversion city.

Things have changed these last few years. Or they've stayed the same.

See someone over charging for a service they haven't protected well enough. and the exfiltration wheels get to turning it's not like it's new behavior always been pro-consumer /as a way of putting it/ by way of being pro ownership to the core of the thing to the "I bought it now you don't have any say what I do with it" of it. If I paid you for it; I won't be limited to using it in your crummy app I won't rely on you living for years to keep my purchase available You may believe you've made it just inconvenient enough --That I won't lockpick my own bike out of your garage ----but that doesn't account for the joy of the theft ------am I to ignore a gauntlet thrown? Not that it's theft in the end, since you took my money for this, and I'll note I don't get any say on how you use that.
