2020-08-14 How to comment using Elpher

If you visit this site using Elpher, you can leave a comment using Gemini. The comment can’t be too long. I think the total URL should be limited to about a thousand bytes, some of that is the URL without the query, and the query itself is going to be encoded… Who knows. Perhaps this server doesn’t actually check URL size? I have no idea and I have never tried. Ooops!

Here’s a video demonstrating it:

(Emacs using the Brutalist Dark theme…)

The video was recorded using Peek. It was edited and the audio was added using Pitivi. The audio was made on a tiny toy, the PO-35 speak. Basic recording was done using Audacity.

Hah, I think most people don’t use the certificate’s Common Name to identify themselves but to identify the site they intend to use it for. Perhaps that’s some sort of usability issue: you want to create a new permanent certificate with your nickname as the Common Name, and save it using a filename identifying the site (or sites) you want to use it for. 😀
