I recently set up analytics on this website and for my projects ( [[Projects]]B ). I opted to use Shynet, a free and open source analytics platform, and Caddy, a modern web server written in Go that automatically handles HTTPS. Here’s what the end result looks like: Summary Setup Installing Caddy with Extra Modules using xcaddy Installing Shynet docker-compose.yml .env nginx.conf Tying everything together Finding and replacing Issues with gzipped responses Issues with finding/replacing Why Shynet?

No. The game No fun The question How can you prove it? Representing the board Checking for winners Crunching the numbers Conclusion The game 3D noughts and crosses, or 3D tic-tac-toe, is a variant of the classic game where you play on a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube. It’s easiest to represent this with three separate grids, where you can win in each grid individually but also get diagonals and straight lines through the cube.

From Replacing Guilt, “Half-assing it with everything you’ve got”: The slacker in you rebels against pointless tasks, and the tryer in you wants perfection. So satisfy both: aim for the minimum necessary target, and move there as efficiently as possible.
