I finally got around to it, here's crc-init-trunc. As a bonus it's also vastly faster at crctrunc's job. https://github.com/hcs64/crc-init-trunc17 Dec 2025 09:33 +0000at://did:plc:bpbfvsdcm3zgj4elpn2jzra2/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma6e6rgva22shttps://bsky.app/profile/hcs64.bsky.social/post/3ma36othvgs2nNHK Sound Effects Collection Disc 4 of 10: Telephone, Clock, Kitchen, School (1990) NHK効果音集 - 4 - 電話・時計・台所・学校16 Dec 2025 03:17 +0000at://did:plc:bpbfvsdcm3zgj4elpn2jzra2/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma36othvgs2n
