Made a thing with my kid. It was fun. Back to not being on here, as that has also been fun. #pico8

"Spark"
The plasma globe at the flea market hums quietly. Beams dance under your fingertips. It looks just like the one you had years ago-until your brother smashed it. And laughed. Now, you hate this lamp.

"64x64"
You examine the rogue AI as its logic unravels on the screen. Your heartbeat quickens slightly. It is measured in hertz, while your enemy's is measured in petahertz.

"Nest"
Observing the flocking birds from your window for years, you came to realize there was something very strange about them. Your parents, too, realized this, observing your behavior.

"The Proof"
Shame, the scholar is long gone. His four-color map concept was wrong. You conquered the world, and now one color is enough!
Wait! Was it a trick to start the conquest?

"Screensaver"
You sit, dazed, thinking about what you've done until a screensaver awakens you from your stupor. You still can't believe it. You pressed the key; you did it. All hell has broken loose.

Holy crap lol

[Tony Dunn @tony873004]

Project Lyra explores the possibility of sending a spacecraft to chase 'Oumuamua using an Earth gravity assist to reach Jupiter, which robs the craft of almost all its speed, causing it to drop to the Sun for an Oberth maneuver.

Thanks @hibberdadam994 for the trajectory data!

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

"The domino effect"

It took a decade to set up, but watching it through all its sensors and cameras was mesmerizing fun: the fall of humanity.

@teej_dv @_anmonteiro @swlkr Also, since more people are seeing this than I expected, there's an excellent article comparing the performance tradeoffs of caddy vs nginx across several dimensions https://t.co/1aKtZJmSZI

TLDR; the performance/convenience/scale ratio of caddy fits my situation very well

[John Langewisch @jahndis]

@teej_dv @_anmonteiro @swlkr I also scp binary and have been using https://t.co/nxUutSTKxP (used to use nginx, but config is way easier with caddy, and auto-creates certs)

1. Run your binary on whatever port
2. Run caddy as reverse proxy to point domain requests to that port
3. Point DNS at your VPS

👌
