Halp itself is in a very hacked-up state - it only serves Web (not yet Gemini), it's running in a tmux session on the Pi, there's no log rotation, there's no caching (just an Nginx reverse proxy), and the Atom feeds are slow and not idiomatically named.

But it's a start :) Next steps are to:

That last point might need a bit of clarification. I'm currently running the awfully slow (400MHz dual-core CPU) router shipped by my ISP, and it seems to be struggling a bit with even the meagre Web and Gemini traffic it's now handling (most of which seems to be search engines and automated attacks looking for Wordpress and similar).
