run it with python3 after pipenv install opencv-python

this progrram opens a fullscreen window showing a feed from camera 0 with a delay. it will collect a lot of video files in the videos/ folder, and use them for showing a long (multiple minutes) delay it also holds ontoo a buffer of a couple hundred frames to show shorter delays (like 5 oor 30 seconds) it doesn't currently do anything to handle missing files, but it would be nice to give it a "default" swirly portal looking video to show hopefully this'll run on a raspberry pi in the desert.

sudo apt install libfdk-aac2 libfdk-aac-dev python3-opencv sudo apt install obs-studio # optional for testing?

sudo apt install python3-pipenv pipenv lock # ? pipenv install pipenv run python3 webcam.py

add the following to ~/.config/wayfire.ini to make it autorun at startup

[autostart] pipenv = cd /home/pi/mirror-to-yesterday; pipenv run python3 webcam.py screensaver = false dpms = false

maybe take security steps? disable keyboards? how are we gonna secure this?
