If you have a Linux machine, have you tried poking it with file? Alternatively you may try to match the first couple of bytes against the known magic bytes manually. Other than that it’s pretty hard to say for sure without the file itself.
I always feel annoyed when people are pissed about Youtube links. There are so many different frontends and other ways to watch Youtube videos that linking some one specific way that you like is just inconvenient. I have my redirects, let me watch it the way I like instead of adding 10th rule to handle your specific Invideous instance.
Bitcoin uses two rounds of SHA256 if I recall correctly.
SHA1 has a fairly even distribution, it produces 160 bit digests, so each possible variation of a chunk will have a roughly 2-160 probability to hit your hash. Now assuming you have some insane computing device that can do an exahash per hour (that’s 1018 hashes, a lot more than any modern hardware can do), finding one would take around 1.7E+26 years. Now the funniest part. Assuming your chunk is 32KiB large (practically nobody uses such small chunks today, so it’s the best-case scenario), there are 2^(32×210×23)/2160 possible variations of the chunk that would produce your exact hash. That’s roughly 1.1E+78865 fitting chunks with only one being correct. And it takes you 1.7E+26 years to get to just one of them.
absolutely could be brute forced
Yea, I wouldn’t say that.
Picard mentioned in the other comment is great. If you want a more manual approach, on a Linux machine you can use exiftool to extract the metadata and then use that information to do whatever, e.g. organise them by folders.
$ exiftool -j 救世主.ogg

You say satire, but kids developing “magical” compression algorithms were a thing in programming long before LLMs. This exact idea is not novel, even though it was executed quite a bit better by Facebook. It never got good enough for a real world application. https://github.com/facebookresearch/NeuralCompression
God I’m glad I’m not using anything Google…
If you ever have to do something like this again, rclone supports mounting Google Drive, at which point you’ll be able to work with it as if it’s a proper filesystem.
I don’t know, but a lot of people in this thread seem to suggest that it’s them not being a native speaker that’s the problem.
In my experience it’s actually the opposite, so many native speakers mess up things like your/you’re, it’s insane. Well, any time something is off about the English grammar on the internet, we blame the American education system.
Sometimes it’s funny, though. Like “for all intensive purposes”.
Your advice is falling on deaf ears, I reckon it’s a sentence prediction tool behind the OP account, not a human.

The only thing with “fascism” there is “technofascists”, which is just an umbrella term for people who heavily rely on tech to spread far-right ideologies. I don’t like how loosely the term “fascism” is used on the internet, but this is far from the worst cases.
Polluting water indirectly is none the better.
That’s understandable, pirating is fine, selling pirated content is totally not.
You might try contacting the person who shared those, maybe they’ll still share if you promise not to sell it.
Both NixOS and Gentoo are also addictive as hell, you poke just a couple of things — the next thing you know it’s 3 AM two weeks later and you are recompiling your whole system trying to make it work with Wild linker or something along those lines, laughing maniacally.
I use Gentoo. I very much warn you against using Gentoo.
Something like this?
Getting a very is job without a difficult car.
I would try various CLI tools for poking the file, see if maybe it’s some specific page that’s broken and you can drop exactly that page or if splitting it into separate pages and assembling it back would magically fix it.
Worst case you’ll at least understand better what’s wrong with the file.
I know of QPDF and stapler.
If you are going to look for other ones, be sure to find those that are not just wrappers around the ones you already tried.
