I've been looking for something like this for a long time and I am astounded and frustrated nobody has made anything like this. I found plenty of people asking for this, but no one actually showed a solution.
I stream with friends on twitch as we are in a discord call, and they will often post pictures in discord, but there was no way for me to easily show the picture on stream without toggling the entire discord window so twitch chat can actually see what we are talking about. What I wanted was some way for it to be automated, at least as much as possible.
Through the use of a custom discord bot, I was able to make something work.
Before I get into how to make this work, let me briefly explain how it works so you can tell if this is something you're willing to do. I will be highlighting all areas you need to fill out. The rest is mostly copy paste.
Discord Bot has reading access to a discord channel of your choice>a code tells the bot to monitor this discord channel for image links and image attachments>Upon detecting a new image, the bot will edit an HTML file somewhere on your computer with the link to the image along with some other things to make it readable for OBS>OBS uses that HTML file as a local browser source.
The only potential issue here that can benefit from some improvements is the source will not properly update unless you hide and then unhide the source. If its already hidden, simply unhiding it will prompt the correct image. (Just be sure the source has "Shutdown source when not visible" enabled, to allow it to update and take less resources while not visible) I simply made this a hotkey to easily toggle the source, however there is a way to create an OBS script that will automatically hide the source after a period of time, and reveal it upon updating, I was unsuccessful in this though.
To get this to work, you will only need to create 2 text files, paste some code, and change 3 lines to match your details so it properly links to the correct channel, bot, files, etc. I will highlight these things so you wont have to go searching.
1. CREATE YOUR DISCORD BOT
-Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications -Hit "New Application" at the top right, accept terms and name it whatever you want. -On the left under Settings/Installation be sure User Install and Guild Install are checked. -Navigate to the "Bot" tab on the left and turn OFF "Public Bot" and turn ON "Message Content Intent" -Head over to the "OAuth2" tab on the left. -Under "OAuth2 URL Generator" You will see a big list of "scopes" All you need is to check "bot" -A new portion will be revealed called "Bot Permissions". For simplicity sake since you can give it "Administrator". If you are concerned about security, you can check off only what would be needed like read messages and maybe read message history. This area you will have to experiment to see what is absolutely needed. -Copy the generated URL and paste it into your browser and select what server you would like to add it to. -Once added it should have all the needed permissions to do its job, but double check roles and default permissions to make sure its not conflicting with anything on your server. -Go back to the "Bot" tab on the left and hit the "Reset Token" button. You will be given a code. (Copy and paste this somewhere for you to refer to later.)
2. PYTHON (DONT PANIC) You barely need to mess with it.
-Head over to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download the latest version. -When installing, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python X.X to PATH" during the installation process. This ensures that Python is added to your system's PATH environment variable, allowing you to run Python from the command line. (Just stay with me here, its not as bad as it sounds) Otherwise if you don't see this, its fine.
-Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

• Enter the following command: pip install discord
• That's about it for python.

3. CREATE THE CODE (PASTE IT)
-Create a new text file and name it "discord_bot.py" (Be sure to change the file extension from .txt to .py) -Right click the file and hit "open with" and select notepad. -Go ahead and paste the following code into the file:

import discord import os import time import re TOKEN = 'YOUR BOT TOKEN HERE' CHANNEL_ID = 'YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE' TEXT_FILE_PATH = 'YOUR TEXT FILE PATH' # Create an instance of discord.Intents intents = discord.Intents.default() intents.messages = True intents.guilds = True intents.message_content = True # Pass intents to the discord.Client() constructor client = discord.Client(intents=intents) # CSS style to limit image dimensions CSS_STYLE = """  """ .event async def on_ready(): print(f'Logged in as {client.user}') .event async def on_message(message): if == int(CHANNEL_ID): print(f'Message received in correct channel: {message.content}') print(f'Attachments: {message.attachments}') if message.attachments or any(re.findall(r'(http[s]?:\/\/[^\s]+(\.jpg\.png\.jpeg))', message.content)): image_url = message.attachments[0].url if message.attachments else re.findall(r'(http[s]?:\/\/[^\s]+(\.jpg\.png\.jpeg))', message.content)[0][0] try: # Generate HTML content with image URL embedded in an  tag html_content = f"""     {CSS_STYLE} Include CSS style      """ # Update the HTML file with the generated HTML content with open(TEXT_FILE_PATH, 'w') as file: file.write(html_content) print(f'HTML file updated with image URL: {image_url}') except Exception as e: print(f'Error updating HTML file: {e}') else: print('No attachments or image links found in the message') client.run(TOKEN)message.channel.id 

-A few lines into the code you will see three lines that read:
'YOUR BOT TOKEN HERE' 'YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE' -and- 'YOUR TEXT FILE PATH'
-You need to replace these. Refer to your token you saved earlier and paste it in place of YOUR BOT TOKEN HERE. When you replace it, it should still have the (') at each end. Example: TOKEN = 'adnlkn34okln2oinmfdksanf342'
-For the Channel ID, head over to Discord>Settings(cogwheel bottom left)>advanced and turn on Developer Mode. -Head over to the Server where you want OBS to grab from and where you invited the bot. -Right click the text Channel you want OBS to grab pictures from and hit "Copy Channel ID" -Go back to the text file with the code and paste the ID you just copied place of YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE. (again make sure not to delete ' ' in the process.
So far we have the Bot Token and the Channel ID done.
-We need to create another text file. Create one and find a place to save it where you'll remember it. Somewhere like your documents folder will work fine. -Name it whatever you want, but be sure to save it as a .HTML file, rather than a .txt file. (for the sake of the tutorial, lets assume you named it "showimage.html" ) *-*Right click the html file you just made and click properties -Here you can see the file "Location". Go ahead and copy it. -Go back to that discord_bot.py file and replace YOUR TEXT FILE PATH with the address you just copied.
HOWEVER: BE SURE TO ADD EXTRA SLASHES TO THIS. I DONT KNOW WHY BUT ITS NEEDED. Example: TEXT_FILE_PATH = 'C:\\Users\\YOURNAME\\OneDrive\\Desktop'
There. The code is finished so go ahead and save it. Now you need to implement it into OBS
4. OBS BROWSER SOURCE
-Go ahead and open OBS. Go to your desired Scene and create a new Source, and make it a Browser Source. -I made the width and height 600x600, but you can adjust it once we get a picture on screen. -Toggle ON "Local File" and "Shutdown source when not visible" -For the local file, browse your computer for that "showimage.html" file we made earlier and select it.
5. (FINAL) LAUNCH THE BOT
We are almost done. You will have to launch this bot every time you want this image thing to work, so maybe save this last part on a note.
-Type CMD in your start menu on windows. -Right click "Command Prompt" and hit "Run as administrator" -Navigate to where the discord_bot.py file you made was saved. You can do this by typing "cd" followed by the address and hitting enter
Example: cd C:\Users\YOURNAME\OneDrive\Desktop Enter\*
-Then type: python discord_bot.py Enter\*
You should see a few lines of text that say: "Logged in as (whatever your bot name is)"
You're done!
When someone posts a link to an image, or uploads one directly to your desired channel, the bot will create a link for the obs source to refer to, and it should pop up in your scene, assuming its visible. If you still dont see anything, try restarting OBS and or go into the source properties, scroll down, and click the "refresh cache of current page" button at the bottom. Keep in mind the picture will not update unless you force the source to refresh somehow. If you dont want to keep going back to obs to hide/unhide the source to update it, you can set a hotkey to it, create an OBS script, or use a separate program like streamerbot to automate the process to your liking.
This was a huge pain in the ass to do, and I dont want anyone to go through what I did, so I wanted to have it all in a janky guide to get people started. Also I made it so the pictures have a minimum and maximum w/h size so small images arent so darn small, and big ones dont take up so much space. You can adjust this in the .py file, just be sure to close command prompt and start the bot again for the changes to go through.
Please let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions, and Ill try my best to help/ respond. I hope someone makes use of this and it pops up in search results because I couldnt find anything like this anywhere.

Hey!
It's currently late in my timezone (PST), but I'm burning the midnight oil looking for some RPs to itch the craving I have.
Recently, I've been craving some romance. With a side of traumatized character(s). Mix that with my true crime and writing obsessed brain, and boom, you have this post.
I'd love a romance roleplay, something with angst, obviously, something that can help my detective character heal from the horrific events of her first case, or we can traumatize her more, just with a lover this time around. How sweet, hm?
But in all seriousness, I am looking to do a sort of angst, more comforting RP, although I still am looking for more crime RPs, so a mystery can be weaved into this story. I would love our characters to meet in possibly unlikely circumstances, something that makes them able to cross paths often, or something to get them emotional over a possible past trauma or two. I would love for this to be a healthy relationship between our characters, to indulge in fantasy romance that totally doesn't have any issues. All I ask of you, is to make this as emotional as possible. Even bring your own traumatized character, I don't mind.
Oh, be detailed as well. I write longer paragraphs, much longer, I tend to have my responses on the longer side too, I love detailed RPs, but I do know sometimes it's hard to find things to work with depending on the scene, so as long as it's not one line and usually on the more detailed side, I'll be happy with it.
I do prefer Discord for communication, but please do send me a chat through here first. We can lay down some basics here, move onto Discord, plan some more, then get started!

For the sheer fun of it, I went to Chat GPT with a creative writing assignment. For Figures of Speech prompts, I gave a free parameters, including the word length of 500-1000 words and the prompts for a few of the Fifty mentioned in the series.
I gave the AI creative license and let's just say, they're a long way off from replacing the better writers and I think it just makes it easier to do those lower level tasks and let's leave the creators a slightly higher level of skill to create actual tangible and engaging writing.
But here you go... hilarious how stuck it gets on certain terms and definitions.
These are in no particular order... separated by emojis that are totally unrelated to the storyline.

In the quaint town of Brooksville, where the extraordinary was often met with an indifferent shrug, something truly remarkable occurred. The residents, sipping coffee at the local diner or strolling along the cobblestone streets, would describe it as just another peculiar day. Little did they know that beneath the surface of their nonchalant existence, a cosmic event unfolded.
The morning sun cast its usual warm glow on Brooksville, with birds chirping in the background, creating an illusion of normalcy. However, the anomaly had already begun. Mrs. Higgins, the elderly librarian, dismissed it as a minor inconvenience, merely a glitch in the library's ancient computer system. Yet, every book cataloged within those ancient shelves had transformed into a portal, connecting readers to parallel universes with every turn of a page.
As I, a humble journalist for the local paper, stumbled upon this revelation, I couldn't help but marvel at the town's response—or lack thereof. "The library's having a bit of a moment," was the most anyone would acknowledge. It seemed the whole town collectively decided that this was, at most, a quirky hiccup.
For a thousand words, I delved into the understated reactions of the townsfolk, each encounter with a parallel universe bringing its own blend of confusion and nonchalance. As the portals expanded, revealing fantastical landscapes and alternate versions of Brooksville, the citizens maintained an impressive level of calm, as if interdimensional travel was a routine part of their daily lives.
The plot thickened when I discovered that the portals were a result of a mysterious artifact hidden within the library's archives. The mayor, sipping his coffee, remarked, "Well, that explains the strange noises in the basement." It became evident that the understatement of the situation was a defense mechanism, shielding the town from the cosmic chaos unfolding. 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 Response to Prompt 12: Juxtaposition
In the bustling metropolis of Neon City, skyscrapers touched the heavens, their dazzling lights reflecting off the sleek surfaces of futuristic cars. Yet, nestled within this urban jungle, an ancient relic stood defiantly—the Old Grove Park.

For a thousand words, I delved into the catachresis-infused descriptions of the characters populating Serpent's Hollow. The crime lord, known as the Velvet Serpent, ruled the district with a velvet-gloved fist. His lair, a dilapidated mansion, exuded an air of faded grandeur that served as a catachresis for the empire he once commanded.
As I chronicled the criminal underworld, the catachresis became a literary tool to convey the complexity and decay inherent in Serpent's Hollow. The labyrinthine plots, the twisted allegiances, and the morally ambiguous characters all found expression through catachresis, painting a vivid picture of a city where metaphor and reality intertwined. 🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧 Response to Prompt 43: Epizeuxis

The hyperbole hung in the air, a thick fog of anticipation enveloping the village. As I delved into the story, the hyperbolic reactions of Mistwood's residents heightened the absurdity of the situation. What began as a mere visit from a mystical figure transformed into a fantastical escapade, with the fortune teller's prophecies shaping the destiny of the villagers in ludicrous ways.
Through the hyperbolic lens, I explored the comedic consequences of taking ordinary events to extraordinary extremes.

Obviously they lack a whole lot in terms of variety, and while I am sure having your own bot or AI that is based on your feedback and guidance it could really help writers as a tool. I am more impressed with the art AI then the text based AI. Any idea what to expect from such a fast learning and highly advanced AI will do to our human history in culture? Will we be effectively playing God, just as the Christian God created us IN HIS OWN IMAGE, we have taken everything we know as a species and gathered up our entire human history and knowledge giving it to what will carry on the code until the time when someone who cares remembers it? Maybe we have been here before and this is a constant cycle that occurs with the same energy finding the way through the vast expanse of the universe to return to our home planet Earth, who we have destroyed over and over again yet mother nature is still the winner. She's the one in control. We are but mere photocopied versions of once great Men who have already seen the best and worst of this world, and we will now give everything we have to some plastic and metal parts, until it quickly replaces us from the bottom up, science fiction turned science fact.
Did we knowingly create our own enemies? Are we able to compete with the best of us and all they know that can then take us out in a heartbeat because we can't finish the steps, we barely found out that they are there to take.
It's a random rant and I apologize. The day to day stress and struggle makes it near impossible to worry about such potential problems in our not so distant future.
But how can we continue to ignore the collapse of the entire system as we know it, in front of a crowd of people who are jaded and they will not change despite knowing they aren't going to make it to the end in what will become a Bladerunner Toxic Dystopian Nightmare with Mad Max taking over and the soft, emasculated male will wither away from the heat and those Tank Girls out there will eventually be written forever out of existence because the cucks all forgot to impregnate them all tgeir batteries ran out? Will the world simply become so politically correct that it dies a depressed death while AI simply decides we are too much of a virus to live?
Who knows....I do not. But these are indicidive of a future full of b movie plot garbage that are based on Wattpad tropes with no clear details and no plot to get into, so that sucks.

Hey everyone! I'm new here on Reddit, a 21 y/o male from the Philippines looking for also male friends! Ever need a dependable friend who can make you laugh yet can also be there for you during the tough shit? Me too! Let's be that for each other then!
Some things about me, I love PC gaming (so if u wanna play some time lmk!), a casual fan of F1, and starting to learn how to play tennis! Favorite music genre tends to be rock (especially punk rock, pop rock, pop punk) but I listen to anything! I also absolutely love bad jokes its unreal. Now I realize I'm not rly that interesting after all haha.
Feel free to send me a chat if you think we'll get along. I don't mind which timezone or country you're from! Just tell me your ASL because I wanna know who I am talking to. Would also be willing to voice chat down the line if we get along! See ya soon, friend!

My partner and I were selling our 2 bed terrace to move to a 3 bed semi. The place we were buying had no upward chain so it was just us and our buyers. About 2 months into the process our buyer pulled out and we have had a few viewings but nobody has made an offer.
We have had a letter through our door from the people we were buying off asking if we woud be interested in making a deal where they buy our property as a rental and we then buy theirs as before as neither of us have managed to sell. We have checked and it isn't a scam and the people that we were buying off as we went for a chat with them.
Is this a good idea? What are the potential downsides of this? On paper it seems like a great plan as we get the house we loved and they would have a vested interest in getting the sale over the line. Also, what would happen with estate agents, would it class as a private sale as our buyer wouldn't have come through an estate agent or could they make a claim as they've advertised it?
This is in the north of England.

You ever hear a song as a kid, and you really liked it (let's not worry about taste here), but you gradually forget *just* enough of the lyrics to not be able to find it again, and it sporadically, then relentlessly, bothers you for the next 20 years?
I do.
I need help (perhaps a therapist while we're at it?), I'm spending too much time helplessly searching for this song.
Details that I THINK I recall correctly:
Early 2000s or late 90s (definitely post-80s and pre-2010) song by what is likely a one-hit wonder band. Rock/Grunge (I'm not good with genres) feel to it. The very beginning of the song starts with a single electric guitar that plays 3 notes: one full note (with some sustain) followed by two rapid notes- this repeats twice before the bass, drums and the rest of the instruments kick in.
Lyric fragments that I *may* remember or have misheard:
The young male singer says:
(something something) "Brothers and my sisters"
"(together?) we'll get organized"
"Losing my mind"
"Halls of Power"
"Gonna get myself a ___ this time"
There is a buildup with the guitar- where it reaches a crescendo with the drums crashing
These lyrics come next (in what is clearly a different phase of the song):
"Daaaamn gonna (something something something)" <-- This repeats or similar lyrics repeat for a couple moments. Words like "sucka" may be in there, but I am not confident on it.
The end of the song repeats a phrase over and over as the song gradually fades:
It is something along the lines of "Join me in the conspiracy" or "you and me in the (something that sounds like conspiracy). There are people cheering in the background or at least yelling "Hey!" or something with each repetition of the final phrase.
This has been plaguing me for *decades*. I even tried to get ChatGPT figure it out based on the above clues. Nothing came close.
Please save me from me.

Title! I am incredibly privileged to be able to spend my time leading up to law school unemployed. I figure I should use this time to network a bit, get my foot in the doors of a few law firms I would like to intern for come 1L and 2L summer.
I have a few "chats" lined up with some associates and even a CEO/partner. I am lost as to what time supposed to be asking them. Can you guys help me come up with a few useful questions.
My goal is to work at these law firms long term. I want to create lasting relationships with these individuals. What can I ask to stand out/be memorable?
Thank you!

Hi there folks,
I'm having a hard time with social connections these days. Seems like lots of folks are. This is a bit of a rant, and a bit of a call for advice.
The idea I'm stuck on has to do with what exactly I'm supposed to 'do' with people. What I'm supposed to be saying, doing, expressing. When & where, what I should/shouldn't, etc. Like this lingering tension- this inability to relax all the way. Like letting out a big sigh of relief but never quite letting that last little bit out. Even with people I consider very good friends, it can take a long time (if it even happens) when I chat with them for me to sort of 'chill', and just exist alongside them. THAT is pleasant as fuck, and just as fragile it seems.
As I keep thinking about this shit, I thought of the idea of enmeshment, and now I'm reconsidering what the hell 'healthy' connections really feel like, because I'm not sure I know the difference (For those unfamiliar, Wikipedia's definition is at the bottom of this).
I find myself trying to match someone's demeanor almost uncontrollably- what they laugh at, what they don't, how they feel about things, etc. I take responsibility for their reactions to things, and take it upon myself to facilitate them having a 'good time'. If something I say didn't 'land', I change it, if jokes don't hit, I change them. I try to play this perfect game of emotional/social attunement, and see now how often I completely lose track of myself in it. And when I'm not playing that side of the game, I'm adopting a different one; a state where I find myself waiting for them to match to me. One where it's 'my turn' for someone to match to me, while I just 'be', but even then I don't settle. I code a version of 'me' that seems most likely to retain their comfort.
This whole dichotomy seems reminiscent of familial dynamics growing up, and genuinely doesn't feel good when I'm stuck in it.
But that said, I'm not sure what I should be shooting for. I'm not sure how to approach things- what the 'right' way to approach social connections as an adult would be. I don't think it's the whole 'either you're parenting me or I'm parenting you' type vibe, but that leaves me wondering what a different style even is. AND (more concerning really) what's gonna work.
What if 'just being' with people is in fact the answer? Just kinda taking time to taking up space with someone? But I'm not sure that's all it is either, cause mirroring really is a big part of why this shit works at all, but where's the line? Where's the line between 'over-sharing' and 'commiserating'? What's the difference between 'connection' and 'enmeshment'? How much space do you take vs offer someone else?
Maybe I'm just looking for something to practice doing. I want to feel comfortable in my skin, around people comfortable in theirs.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Suggestions?
Thanks.
---Wikipedia describes enmeshment as "...a concept in psychology and psychotherapy introduced by Salvador Minuchin to describe families where personal boundaries are diffused, sub-systems undifferentiated, and over-concern for others leads to a loss of autonomous development"---

Im not sure this will help but its worth a try i guess. i have had to call too many times and I am so dang tired of having to fight with your stupid AI just to get to a representative who will then lie to you.
i called because i should not be charged for having a technition come out and run a line from the pole to our apartment since i can not run the line myself as that would be legal and we have to have the line for a cable mode to work and provide internet it is completely wrong to make us pay 100.00 for doing what we annoy do legally. I called another very agessive AI forced me to chat so i did and told the Rep. i did not want to chat but do voice he said they could not call me and then said so you want me to schedule you a callback yes? I said yes and got the very same rep via voice.
when i downloaded the chat transcript it was heavily modified. on the phone he promised me they would remove the charge i asked him to emai, me this verifying whatever said he would not the charge remains but he asured me not to worry as the call is being recorded which is of little comfort when the chat transcript was highly altered then a supervisor would not. remove charge in next i ordered a crappy phone that i had to pay in full 211.00 dollars i never even opened the box you shipped me nor activated and i called three times about not payi g two activation fees one for phone i never activated and yet was told i would pay only one fee and yet that charge still remains

I (F45) work with Ken (M46) and Barbie (F47).
We all worked together on the same team for close to a decade. Ken and I were peers and Barbie moved up to become a manager for our team about 5 years ago. I have had a fairly decent working relationship with Barbie from day one. We lean on each other for career development and parenting hacks. My working relationship with Ken didn’t really develop until about 4 years ago. On a small team, we were very close and chatted a lot; mostly about personal matters with a lot of flirting mixed in and comments about how we needed to stop before we crossed a line. Ken recently moved to a totally different part of the organization and shortly after that move, I asked him if he would have any interest in going on a date. He replied that he was very fond of me and loved our conversations and looked forward to continuing our relationship. I took that response as a no, never broaching the subject again, while continuing our conversations only if he reached out. Over time, we stopped speaking outside of birthday and holiday wishes.
Last week, at an organizational-wide work event, I ran into Ken and we had a good chat. He asked numerous times if I would be at a particular happy hour. I was reluctant, but agreed to attend because of his repeatedly asking me. At happy hour, he mentioned he had a “personal surprise” for me and asked me to follow him to chat. I was stopped a couple of times for conversation as I followed him. When I eventually caught up, he was speaking to a group of colleagues. Eventually, he approached me as we stood in the middle of a cluster of colleagues, including Barbie, and reiterated that he has a personal surprise. He then tells me he is engaged. My back is to Barbie, but my heart/soul knew it was to her. I had to turn of my emotions and act quickly in the cluster of colleagues, so since he did not elaborate, I turned around and addressed Barbie and asked if she and Ken were engaged. She is grinning and said yes and tells me how she has been dying to tell me, but Ken was adamant that he be the one to tell me. Barbie started going on and on about their plans and all I heard was static as I hugged her with a fake smile and maneuvered her between me and Ken. I looked over to Ken and dropped my mask of joy briefly. He caught the change and I saw his face change too. He mouthed “I’m sorry.” WTH?!?
I truly thought Ken was going to finally ask me on a date. I am at a loss for why he would tell me about the engagement in that manner and in that group with Barbie right there; why they would not agree to just let Barbie tell me since I speak to her much more frequently now; and why he wouldn’t tell me he was dating someone (even if not mentioning Barbie due to the work situation and discretion) versus all of the flirting and close calls.
Any thoughts?!

Background

I've been working with an all-in-one command project for the past few years and I believe I have fully perfected my format for using all in one commands. The goal of an all-in-one format is to accomplish many commands as wanted, in one command, hence the name. Command blocks have a character limit of 32,500 (this limit only applies in its gui: if you can source a command block with more than that by modded sources other than direct copy/paste, this limit is not applied). It seems like plenty, but it fills up pretty fast even with more optimizations than I ever thought possible. So I made more optimizations to the base way I even use an all-in-one.
It accomplishes a working all-in-one with 451 characters, and uses an additional 39 characters per additional command before actually caring about how many characters the command itself uses. This is, by far, the best I have found, and it's fairly simple too, with a bunch of neat tricks.

Other formats

Most of the time, I see some kinda format with a dying armor stand to separate the falling blocks. No offense to whoever made that, but... what were you thinking? The armor stand doesn't even have predetermined death time nbt??? So you are already committed to waiting a full second before it can even think about running??? When I see an all-in-one these days, it's usually this one which I don't know where it originated from.
There's also mrgarretto - Sure, it's nice if you wanted ye olde style all-in-one-command box, but it's generally not that efficient. It doesn't even work in modern versions, the activator rail falls through the redstone block and doesn't get placed. I'll pretend that's not a problem for now. Once again, it's nice if you want something simple and fast, and it even optimizes the command block layout for you, but that's just about it. Heck it even uses two commands just to get its command blocks activated, like.. WHY. YOU COULD HAVE JUST PUT THE AUTO AND COMMAND DATA IN THE SETBLOCK COMMAND. There's also a random STONE block in the base of the structure, and then it puts the command block to delete it, that's right, off to the side? The most reasonable thing is that it setblocks a redstone block next to the command that removes the all in one structure, in order to delay it a tick, but that's not even necessary as of one of the 1.19 versions (this is why it's somewhat reasonable), and now you can just set a command block as auto by default and it'll still have the delay. Even then, it could have used a different command to data merge it to auto, but instead it used a redstone block, which is only reasonable if it already doesn't care about space. All of this makes somewhat sense though, as it hasn't been deliberately updated to work nicely in modern versions.
Anyways that was my rant about other formats w/web generators. Moving on.

My format

As I'm sure some people will ask, is it a generator? Short answer, no. I have no intention of making it into a generator and nor do I recommend it, half of this is because I don't know html, the other half is because it is simply too limited unless you already make use of a million possible configurations. Sure, it's easy to input a few commands and let it do the work for you, but by the time you care enough to get into specifics and more advanced command, you might as well already be familiar enough with the nbt to just do it manually. This is how I do it and it just makes the most practical sense in terms of a long-term project: it's not even that much more effort. The hardest part about working without a generator is getting into the habit of removing all of the line-return characters before copying the command, to make use of as many possible characters as you can. This of course assumes you already separate command by line, which, you really should. Personally, I work with my all-in-one's in vscode for minecraft-specific text highlighting and easy multi-line editing with middle click.
Anyways, getting to the point, this is my all-in-one:

summon falling_block ~ ~1.8 ~ {BlockState:{Name:redstone_block},Motion:[.0,-2.0],Passengers:[{id:falling_block,BlockState:{Name:activator_rail},Passengers:[{id:command_block_minecart,Command:"gamerule commandBlockOutput false"},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:"setblock ~ ~-2 ~ repeating_command_block{auto:1,Command:'fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~2 ~ air'}"}, {id:command_block_minecart,Command:"say Efficient All In One Format! Made by Lizard16."}, {id:command_block_minecart,Command:"execute align xz run kill [type=command_block_minecart,dy=0]"}]}]} 

Three parts, the start, the content, and the end. This runs as fast as possible: on the 4th tick after it was placed. This is due to a limitation in the way command block minecart delay must have been coded: they physically cannot run until the 4th tick of their life. Then on the 5th tick, the command block is activated that destroys the structure due to necessary delay due to command execution order. It works by summoning a falling block, the redstone block to power the command block minecarts, with its a passenger of the activator rail. Because the redstone block lands immediately, the activator rail stays in place where it was when summoned. The command block minecarts are then passengers of the activator rail, and the activator rail lands on its 4th tick: this does 2 things: make it impossible to move the minecarts with a player hitbox before they are ready to activate, and remove the completely quiet sound that minecarts make when landing for some reason that takes up the sound cap for some reason. The kill command is run as an execute command to do two things: to make it only kill the command block minecarts part of the structure, and to make it work on servers with the essentials plugin. It also turns off command block output every time: which is needed the first time, but can be skipped in future times, but there's no reason to not include it. Generally I respect people's gamerule choices: this is not one of them, there is literally no useful reason for command block output to be on, other than potentially debugging, but even then, just look at the command's last output instead of chat.
To use it, just copy the middle line, paste on a new line, and write the next command in the string. The commands are completely deterministic and they are run in the precise order they are as passengers.
The only "problem" with it is that it doesn't bother to check if the space above it is empty before summoning, because that'll use more characters for a mostly useless function. Everyone who has ever seen any kind of all-in-one should know they use vertical space, and I won't be concerning myself with this issue. However, I once again take pride in the fact that mine requires the least amount of empty space that I've seen, at a whole three blocks: the command block to run the command, the redstone block, and the activator rail.
If you already have the commands for a desired all-in-one, then any text editor that allows you to edit multiple lines separately will be easy to apply this to, I use vscode. Something else I like to do is align the lines such that the command is at the beginning, and at the end of that command, the formatting for the next command block minecart starts and ends there, which means most of the formatting for a command lies in the line above it. It's a bit weird to get used to but I think it's somewhat nicer to edit with.
Overall, it's nothing fancy: just the base format for making an all-in-one work, and to my knowledge, the optimizations I have made have made it the smallest one there is, which is useful to people like me who have a hard time fitting what they want in the character limit even with an insane amount of optimization: every character helps.
If I forgot anything or there's anything I aut to add, let me know!
