I usually have a look into gemini space in the evening, and more often over the weekend.

Things I enjoy

Well my first look always is presto, Solar Alerts by Stephane. Why is that? Well, I used to work in astrophysics, and I am still very much fascinated. Thus the other site I always check is APOD. And I am still hoping to see Aurora Borealis down at my 48° latitude site. It will most probably be an unusual glow of red over the horizon. It has happened a few years back, but unfortunately I missed it.

The other site I always check is Antenna. But since not all capsule show up there, I do have a personal list of sites I check like once a week.

The Midnight is one of my favourite places. Cheers!

Eagerly awaited is smolZINE twice a month. I am happy this zine exists, after the furious but short appearence of SMOG.

Solar Alerts

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)

Antenna

Midnight Pub

SmolZINE

archive of SMOG Saturday Morning Gemzine

Thanks to all writers of gemini space!

Things that didn't work out

My capsule is mirrored over TOR as an onion site. But very few such sites exist, or at least I'm not aware.

My capsule used to have a http mirror, very crudely generated by script. But with the arrival of wobbly I don't see a need to do this any more.

https://ew.srht.site/

I have written twice about how I added cryptographic signatures to my capsule. But I am not aware that any client is looking for .well-known/signature-bundle and making any checks. Neither I am aware, how many capsules are providing this. Maybe this sort of information is available in fact and I just don't know about it.

Wish List

Can elpher create an offline mirror of sorts by storing the already downloaded document (.gmi only!) in a local file, please? I'd be ever so grateful. Geminispace does have link rot, of course. And sometimes I'd better had copied something locally.

Cheers,
