Sick of identical cron or scanner emails?

Try logdiff - a tiny open-source Rust CLI that caches streamed job output per key and emits only differences (unified diff or changed lines).

Drop it into any pipe and reduce noise instantly.

> But I’m also used to working on the assumption that outside of my world — one of people very up on politics, generally well-educated and with cosmopolitan social and cultural sensibilities — people can and quite frequently do think very differently. So I found myself surprised just how widespread hostility to AI is.

Because you don't have a "network interface card", you have an ARM cpu, maybe even a whole-ass ARM SOC, handling ethernet frames on one side and talking PCI on the other.

You don't even have SD cards, because "memory cards" don't exist. That terabyte of storage the size of your thumbnail you bought? That's an ARM CPU managing the wear levels on its crap-ass flash backing storage while pretending to be a hard drive on the other side.

You don't know how many computers are in your computer.

My 20+ year old furnace decided to suddenly die in the middle of December, so I had to make some spur of the moment decisions. So we're getting a heat pump tomorrow. I didn't plan on spending that much money on upgrading my HVAC system, but sometimes life just plans for you.

A few people commented they dislike the term "POC" and I agree. It's useful when describing the collective minority within a predominately white space, but outside of that, there's no binding agent and the term degrades fast.

Like, someone commented "I love POCs, but..." Excusing the "but" for a moment, you "love POCs"? Like a bag of peanut M&Ms? What is uniting us in your mind?

There's a famous tweet that said "I love POC food." WHAT IS POC FOOD? lmao
