Picovoice would be so great if they didn't have all these restrictions for personal use. Needing internet and tiny amounts of "minutes per month" (for locally processed audio mind you) is unfortunate.

Gotta mute all references to Medium.com on here. Few things fill me with as much rage as articles that bait and switch to "You need to make an account and use an app to read this". Writers that use medium for publishing: Fuck you, but only a little.

@fleeky IMO the diffing is a key function. You can't really see diffs over large binary files, can you?

What @technobaboo said about diffing GLTF seemed reasonable though.

Low key love identifying race conditions in decentralized systems 🥰

@ireneista Oh? Do you have a writeup somewhere? Which information medium are you targeting? Text? Would love to learn more.

I think a lot of version control energy is being put into real time collaboration via stuff like automerge which IMO is great but makes the history less useful for human understanding.

Source code version control is actually such an amazing tool. I wish other industries had similar uses. Like, I'd love to be able to do the equivalent of git blame for 3D objects or vector graphics and see what else changed for that version and trace the "why" for the change.

I'm getting more acquainted with this codebase and seeing where a particular line got added in the history can make such a difference.

My only solace in seeing the world ripped apart by greed is knowing that the profiteers will all die just like the everyone else. They're spending their life maxizing profit but it'll ultimately be for nothing as they're sitting at death's door.

Here's another #techromancy tip:
Create a 2GB "sacrificial" file for your volumes. When the disk fills up and your system locks up, kill it and run your cleanup scripts. It's helped me get out of a bind a few times now.

```bash
dd if=/dev/urandom of=sacrifice.txt bs=1M count=2048
```

```bash
rm sacrifice.txt
```

Scratch that, it's more like 300k 💀

My matrix server got full of crap but the admin panel only allows deleting 250 media entries at a time. Luckily I could look at the API calls the app was making in devtools as I manually performed a delete and now I have these 30k spam entries getting purged in a while loop 🥰

Reminds me of when I acidentally deleted my entire client's notion DB and made a script to restore everything one item at a time 💀
