Volevo iniziare il 2026 con un buon proposito.

Volevo iniziare a fare le react + recensioni ai retro-giochi di merda, di quei vecchi coin-op che si trovano anche per MAME e che onestamente fanno cagare. Anzi. Hanno sempre fatto cagare, anche quando la sala giochi coi topi era sempre più interessante dei programmi che davano sugli unici 3 canali della TV (quando erano di meno ero troppo piccolo per la sala giochi del baretto...).

Forse hanno però delle cripto-comunità di fanatici appassionati e mi sto mettendo nei guai...

Ma non lo saprò finché non ci provo...

Is there a CLI tool out there that'll show me the bytes in common across lots of files, and their offsets? I'm doing a bit of binary file format analysis, hoping to contribute some types into shared-mime-info for ZX Spectrum and Commodore emulation disk+tape+cartridge files. Trying to fix up some ".tap" and ".d80" name clashes with More Magic  🔄

#sinclairuser tells in 1985 the story of St. Bride's, a irish school for young ladies but also a software house that published text adventures
