I want my cooking to benefit from the DDC but not contribute potentially bad data to it.
what is DDC though?
Derived Data Cache
i don’t have enough knowledge in this, i can only give a few possible clues. if that’s a file, you can always create a temp copy of that and “unsafely” read from it. alternatively linux “cat” command should output the raw data from the file.
not sure how helpful is that.
