Importing text files the same way in node (commandline) or webpack \n(browser) code should be possible but its all a bit confusing with the \nnew ES module system so I had to put my thinking cap on and read through \nhttps://nodejs.org/api/module.html#loadurl-context-nextload to work out \nhow exactly to do it.

\n

Seems you need a couple of files to preload the module hooks, one to be \nimported on the command line so it gets run before anything else tries \nto import anything and then another one to contain the actual module \nhooks. I tried using one file, which kinda works but ends up registers \nthe hooks twice which is not good.

\n

I've also synced the pattern test with the one used by raw-loader in \nwebpack.config.cjs so node and webpack should always consider the same \nfiles as text.

\n

All the new code is in this commit \nhttps://github.com/notshi/seance/commit/e7a541356449c2eb924c98e8f244e21ac46ca73a \nand you can also see how the imports have replaced readfile hacks.

I've converted my arss from cjs to esm, this commit \nhttps://github.com/xriss/arss/commit/044d4e39d28421fc584a0f73d8eda2abeddb8b4a \nmight be useful to look at if you want to do the same.

\n

It's mostly annoying, one thing that is a bit of a gotcha is when \nswitching your package type to module its easiest to rename your \nwebpack.config.js to webpack.config.cjs otherwise trying to get webpack \nworking is a nightmare.

\n

I'm going to go through all my JS code and switch to esm as its nice to \nhave code that will run in browsers rather than just node. This is \nhowever a scary one way act, where we must change applications first \nand libraries last else we will break the applications.

\n

It's a real shame node hasn't make this almost transparent ( async \neverywhere and just make require work ) but I guess all of the web pack \nand minimize shenanigans people do with JS is just far too brittle.

How to bring XMAS spirit to home automation.

\n

Do you enjoy shouting at your house to turn lights on and off?

\n

Do you wish this simple act of human machine bonding could be more fun \nand or themed for the holidays?

\n

Then have I got the solution for you.

\n

First you need to get into the habit of turning lights on by shouting

\n
ON *lightname*\n
\n

into the darkness.

\n

This is one of the optimal ways to control lights with the ON command \ncoming before the name of the light. It is possible you are already \ndoing this, if not I advise practicing it for a few days.

\n

Once you have accepted this habit as normal the next step is to rename \nall the lights in your home to the names of reindeer.

\n

Here is a list for reference with sugested location.

\n\n

There is no other step, by simply making these tiny festive changes you \nwill bring holiday joy to your household and possibly neighborhood.

I know this has the AI word in it, but it looks like generating low poly from a point cloud by constraining it to only using prefab (low poly) parts works rather well.

\n

IE here is a point cloud, solve it using only the building blocks found in Valheim. https://twitter.com/MattNiessner/status/1729295860511437228
