  • Last time I did this, I put the inserted elements into new layers and put some filters to generate some noise on these new layers (w/o applying it to the original picture) until it looked somewhat convincing. You might want to experiment with several methods to generate noise and their parameters (or even combine several of them). Also it can be handy to apply these effects to new effect layers on top of the layer(s) you want to adjust and then play around how you mix them.

    I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…

    I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.





  • I love it, when Devs anticipate that players might break their levels and reward them for it.

    E.g. when I played Supraland, I had it happen several times, that I managed to get to places that were obviously not intended to be reachable - you know the drill: Low poly terrain, low res textures, holes in the terrain, invisible walls everywhere,… You keep exploring that wasteland, carefully managing to not fall of, go around a corner and… There’s a chest there waiting for you.

    Or some of the coin stacks in Super Mario Odyssey, that you’ll never really see or collect, until you do some crazy trick jumps or so to get on top of $building.



  • Came to suggest this. I ran into the same problem when I tried to host Jellyfin at home. Also I was fed up with all those certificate warnings, depending on which device I used. Since I was already using pihole in my home network, I just went and looked at all the DNS plugins for certbot to learn which provider allows for easy DNS challenges. Then I researched a bit and stumbled upon a provider that was running a sale - so I got a domain for less than 5 bucks/year.

    I set the public A record to 127.0.0.1 and configured certbot to use their API. This domain is now used internally in my network exclusively and I just added some DNS entries for several subdomains in pihole, so that it works for every device at home (e.g. jellyfin.example.com / dockerhost.example.com / proxmox.example.com / …).

    When I’m away, I shouldn’t be able to resolve the domain, and even if DNS were hijacked, the TLS certificate will protect me from connecting to $randomServices. Also my router is less restricted, which means that I can just use it’s VPN server to connect directly to my home network, if I need to access my server or need to troubleshoot things when away.







  • I read this as they’re even generating the frames with AI:

    The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo

    While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.
