The great Tony Bennett has passed away at the age of 96. He was the last of his kind, a master of the American songbook. He may have left his Heart in San Francisco, but he won all of our hearts, from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. Be at peace, and sing to us now from the stars, Tony.

This is truly absurd and delightful. The "first human computed shader". You are assigned a pixel, given the equation, and need to show your handwritten manual calculation of its RGB value.

It's made by Inigo Quilez the undisputed king of shaders.

The past few days, I wrote a thing that makes it easier to run personal & self-hosted services securely: https://boinkor.net/2023/07/tsnsrv-or-easily-accessing-services-on-your-tailscale-network/

Pretty excited about this, as it eliminates about 80kB of generated nginx config and replaces it with about 20 short shell commandlines.

So far I've done the routes for Flynn and Carl.

Carl's route has one big branch that significantly changes the arcs of a bunch of characters as well as at least one early bad end, while Flynn's route mostly diverges only in how well one of the side characters keeps it together.

I kinda like that the narrative structure of each route isn't perfectly parallel and it makes me curious about the rest.
