cjnicholls··on Vanta.js: Animated 3D backgrounds for websites
Lively[1] does this with desktop wallpapers if that helps and is FOSS. Additional shaders can be found on shadertoy[2] and others.

It can be a good way of turning your computer into a heater ;)

cjnicholls··on Why webcams aren’t good enough
I can confirm this as my colleagues have mentioned the quality difference between my feed (samsung tablet) and their webcams. I used a couple different webcam apps orginially but DroidCam was the best IMO.

cjnicholls··on Turn your phone into a wireless webcam
I used it for a short while and found the free versions framerate was worse than droidcam (paid) and occasionally it would give up the ghost all together and require a restart. droidcam also does this but less frequently. It did handle switching between a device with low res camera and one with high which droidcam cannot do. I wouldnt say either is significantly better than the other but i went back to droidcam edit: droidcam also has a low framerate mode that prevents excessive battery use

On Android MAC randomisation is implemented only on a handful of specific devices and some vendors dont at all. Mac randomisation is flawed at the least and can still be used to identify an individual in some cases.
