Real-time, fully GPU-driven method to extract curves from mesh contour (silhouette).

It's not done yet.
I've been working on temporal coherency of animated stroke curves for a year.
Hope someday we can render truly expressive line animations in real-time.

Today I wasted too much time to troubleshoot an initial implementation of a microfacet BRDF model.

I'll invest some time implementing debugging tools! I started with a basic pixel inspector to isolate bad samples.

Hi folks, Im like to give folks some updates on how stuff is looking server side!

First up, we have our top level dash: we've had nearly 2000 folks sign up this week, and are approaching 3k active folks! Welcome!

Our actual reports have been super low - the majority have been our awesome moderation team reporting accounts to themselves so we can do instance level moderation.

It's neatseeing how many new queued requests we've gotten as the fediverse has grown! Thankfully, some amazing DevOps / SysOps folks like @hugo and @aurynn have been very good at knowledgesharing, so we were prepared!

We upgraded our hardware about two weeks ago, and just in time. CPU (and memory) usage have ramped up but are staying well below their limits.

Finally, our media went WAY up over the last few weeks as it only clears out cached media every 7 days, and things got very busy very fast! We're well below the 1TB limit for our next pricing tier though!
