Dual GPU Twitch Streaming Setup
Adding an Intel Arc A380 alongside my RTX 5080 for dedicated Twitch encoding resolved NVENC crashes and allowed me to deliver smooth high-FPS streams.
Integrating Schema & UI Testing
Implementing JSON schema and UI testing pipelines with Zod and Playwright to prevent production-breaking changes and enforcing branch protection.
Updates: IP Compliance & Development
Ongoing compliance efforts across 2D/3D assets and libraries are progressing well. AI remakes, licensing adjustments, DevOps improvements, and new development features have all been implemented to ensure legal clarity, technical consistency, and better usability.
Forum: Azure VM to StaticWebApp
I replaced a costly VM-based Discourse forum with a zero-cost Azure Static Web App powered by Hugo and OpenAI Codex. I detail the rationale, savings, automated workflow, and features added—dark mode, client-side search, responsive design, and newsletter integration.
Cloud Certs & Development
Completed AZ-204 and AZ-400 Azure certifications. Shared 350-question prep sets on GitHub. Integrated Azure API Management into the WTF Model project to improve backend abstraction and security. APIM now manages Azure Functions with proper CORS and auth headers.
Foreign IP in Development
Began IP compliance work for Steam release by recreating ~80 assets using AI, documenting all third-party licenses in a summary and licences.json. Added in-app disclaimers and an IP request form with file upload and reCAPTCHA. All measures now integrated into the app.
Network Optimization
Upgraded to a modern Intel x64 workstation for AI and video work. Reorganized network: WiFi split by band, OpenWRT set to AP mode, 19" rack now runs DNS, Pi-hole, Chrony, and SMB. Parsec enables single-monitor remote access. Setup is faster, cleaner, and ad-free network-wide.
Interface Streamlining
Streamlined the interface with a new JSON config for colorization and sorting, added hover glow effects, hotkey-based UI toggling, and reworked layout elements. Submitted a Steam Review Guide; awaiting next steps after Steam’s request for full third-party asset documentation.
Steam .VDF Format & Windows Runner
Submitted WTF build for Steam Store review, including .vdf packaging and split redistributables. Automated forum updates via GitHub Actions Windows Runner. Added change detection to avoid full rebuilds. Cleanup included CSS fixes, logic optimizations, and pipeline tweaks.
WebGL Shader and RC/RL Circuits Overlay
Completed Dark Mode using custom GLSL shaders for selective color inversion. Polished UI and CSS, cleaned repo structure. Added RL/RC overlay with mapped impedance, phase, and tau; tied frequency to vortex rotation. Full unit range (femto to peta) supported and tested.
