Created with paperbackup.py from https://github.com/intra2net/paperbackup/
To restore, either scan this document into a file or use a webcam
This shell script should restore the content inline

/usr/bin/zbarimg --raw -Sdisable -Sqrcode.enable "$SCANNEDFILE" \
| sed -e "s/\^/\x0/g" \
| sort -z -n \
| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n\x0[0-9]* //g;s/\x0[0-9]* //g;s/\n\x0//g'

# replace 'zbarimg \"$SCANNEDFILE\"' with 'zbarcam' if you have a
# webcam instead of a scanned document

# algorithm:
# 1. zbarimg ends each scanned code with a newline
# 2. each barcode content begins with ^<number><space>
# 3. convert that to \0<number><space>, so sort can sort on that
# 4. then remove all \n\0<number><space> so we get the originial without \n
