These are fantastic. Reminds me of the structures ("choruses"?) from "A Topiary" script by Shane Carruth (the same bloke who made Primer). The first act's "pattern-seeking" premise is great, too. I think anyone who enjoys films such as Aronofsky's Pi, Linklater, Kaufman, etc would enjoy at least skimming through the first act.

Perhaps not regularly; artworks that are relatively quick to perform are probably more susceptible to this. Anecdotally I’ve known calligraphers to find themselves practicing the same words over and over again out of muscle memory when just doodling or writing without full focus. I find similarities between this and sports, or even games such as counter-strike. Same map, same mechanics, slightly different flow each time.

On the subject of creativity, I (like many others Im sure) have found travelling to be great for creativity, alone or otherwise! There was an article linked here a while ago about a person who embarked on “staycations” where they just remained confined to their hotel room explicitly to enhance their writing.

House of Leaves goes through a few interesting concepts that seem to divide people (mirrored type, point size changes dependent upon how loud a sound is etc).

Nice implementation! :) https://www.eomap.com/portfolio/3d-live-habitats-for-the-ful... may be of interest to you

Nice work! Had a go at modifying an existing library to display bathymetry data a little while ago, tried writing about it. https://vulkd.com/articles/3d-underwater-maps/ Some hyperlinks there which could be of interest.

It should be fairly simple to display a linestring from a gpx file or similar to the map, just write a method to convert x/y/z coords to lng/lat/alt

Possibly not what you're after, but I recently found out about Ambergris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris)and gather there's a fair few other substances prized and explicitly collected by fragrance companies.

Thanks, I'm having so much fun with this. It's been great sharing it with friends, too.

One-time knocking via changing the ports for every connection / every X seconds with a OTP is something else you can do to further contribute to the defense-in-depth idea. Port knocking is great on it's own, but curious to hear from those who have set it up this way. Love the 'honey port' idea mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

The OSM wiki is a valuable source of info. Have a read about tiles to start https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map
