Brunzels Brain Dump
I tinker with AI workflows, my homelab and music. This is where I write down what comes out of it, including when it doesn’t work.

Three projects turned into six, and the projects page wasn't coping well. So now there's a new overview, a header image that assembles itself, a legal notice and privacy policy, and a changelog for every change.
Making the music video “Warum machst du das?” left me with more than 230 render runs on four different setups. The result surprised me: switching the operating system does more than a new graphics card.
