Creating an RSS Newsletter for your Hugo Blog using Brevo

It Was Supposed to Be So Easy… If you’re running a blog on a static site generator stack, you may have looked into setting up email automation and a subscriber list. If you’re a devout follower of the lazy dev principles, you probably also thought about automating this then noticed all the RSS output controls that frameworks like Hugo provide out of the box.

AI Generated QR Codes with Stable Diffusion and ControlNet

ControlNet was released early this year and lets you ‘control’ image generation in Stable Diffusion images with normals/depth maps, face poses, globally aware inpainting, and more. Learning how to use ControlNet has been on my to-do list for some time, but I lacked a project interesting enough to really get started on that. If you want a good general overview and guide for using ControlNet, take a look here. … in life the QRCodeMonsters win I first found QRCodeMonster after seeing this meme on the Stable Diffusion Reddit and being curious how they got that working....

Making Games With Bing Chat and GPT4

Oh Good, You’re Awake… Today, we’ll see if we can get Bing to make a game for us. We’ll try to write no code ourselves (though we’ll probably have do some cleaning up/troubleshooting). Bing isn’t very good at creating assets in my experience, so for those we’ll grab free stuff online. I’ve had some success with this in the past. I won’t say the games are good or even all the way functional, but I’ve still been massively impressed by Bing’s ability to deliver on what I ask for....
