G'day mates, I'm Loftwah, and here's my guide to setting up an Astro 5.x project using TypeScript, Tailwind 4, Cloudflare Pages with Functions, and Cloudflare D1 integration. I've also added a test CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) example to show you how to handle data with D1.

Linkarooie V4 is a modern Linktree alternative built with Astro and deployed on Cloudflare Pages. It transforms the previous static site (V3) into a full-featured web application with user authentication, profile management, analytics tracking, and more.
- User registration and authentication (email/password + 2FA)
- Profile customization (bio, avatar, banner, social links)
AI Disruption and Control Shifts: A Comparative Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Impact on Music and Film Industries
This comprehensive report examines the disruptive impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the music and film industries, with a focus on how AI is transforming content creation processes and shifting control dynamics within these sectors. Through systematic analysis of current literature and empirical evidence, this research investigates the implications for creative professionals, copyright frameworks, economic models, and consumer acceptance.
Key findings include:
- AI is fundamentally transforming content creation in both industries, with more immediate replacement potential in music due to its individualistic nature, while film faces complex collaborative restructuring.
- Legal frameworks are inadequate to address emerging challenges of AI-generated content, with significant variations in how jurisdictions handle ownership and attribution. The European Union'

Matthew Cambell, known to the world as OptiMystic, stands as one of Australia’s most relentless and visionary hip hop artists. From the sun-drenched streets of Perth, Western Australia, he’s spent over 15 years forging a career that blends the raw, unfiltered grit of ‘90s New York boom-bap with a philosophical optimism that’s uniquely his own. Since bursting onto the scene in 2009, OptiMystic has built an empire through his independent label, Stay Independant, collaborating with giants like Method Man, Onyx, Canibus, and Killah Priest while remaining fiercely rooted in his hometown’s underground ethos. His journey, from sweaty local gigs to shooting music videos in Times Square, has made him a bridge between Australian hip hop and the global stage, a testament to his passion, which he calls “oxygen to breathe, hip hop to live.” As of February 28, 2025, he’s still dropping heat, cementing a legacy that resonates far beyond Perth’s shores.

This annex provides a comprehensive guide to configuring and troubleshooting a TURN server for Jitsi Meet stable-10008 when self-hosting behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) using Localtunnel. It ensures media traffic (audio/video) works reliably despite network restrictions, aligning with the Docker-based setup in the main walkthrough.
- CGNAT Constraints: Your mobile hotspot uses CGNAT, meaning your server lacks a public IP for direct inbound connections. Jitsi’s Videobridge (JVB) relies on UDP port 10000 for media, which CGNAT blocks.
- Localtunnel Limitation: Localtunnel tunnels TCP traffic (e.g., HTTP on port 8000), but JVB’s UDP traffic can’t be tunneled this way. A TURN server relays media over TCP or TLS, bridging this gap.
Below is a complete, copy‑paste-ready Slack webhook cheatsheet with detailed descriptions for each variation—no extra meta commentary from our conversation. All examples use "Loftwah Comms" as the sender and your specified icon URL.
This document provides detailed examples for sending messages via Slack webhooks. It covers plain text messages as well as custom messages with bot name, icon, emoji, and structured formatting using Block Kit.
This method sends a simple text message with basic Markdown formatting. It uses Slack’s default webhook settings.
This commentary is intended to serve as a companion document to the main ICT salary overview. It provides insights, context, and reflections on the data and structure, drawing on examples from the tech industry and a personal perspective (using Loftwah as an illustrative example).
This cheatsheet covers various data structures used for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). It goes far beyond basic Q&A, providing multiple examples to help you visualise how each format can be applied in both DevOps (AWS/Terraform) and educational communication (Skippy) contexts.
