However, I know nothing about mail servers and do not wish to wade into thosewaters at present. If you'd like to build it I would definitely love to check out the code andvisit the resulting gemini capsule :) > ~5 minutes are better than 6 hours IMO. The 6 hours was due to it being run on a resource limited system that is shared by other users.However, now that it is caught up with the more than 400 messages for 2020, it uses up a lotless processing time and memory to just keep up with the current posts. I have updated the CRON job to every 20 minutes. My thought is that the gemini version is meant to be read as a digest a time or two a day. Not tobe constantly refreshed for new updates. At elast, that is the use case I built it for. > Just throwing out ideas, feel free to say no :) I genuinely appreciate the ideas! I had not thought of the mailserver route. As said above, it isntan area I know about so will likely not pursue... but it IS very interesting and could be a reallycool way to build something similar. While it isnt 5 minutes, I hope the 20 minute interval worksout better for you (and everyone). It seems the server that I host through was down for a bit this morning (what may be afternoonfor many of you). It seems to be back up and cmccabe (the server admin) and I have been in touchre: what happened. It seems there was a minor bug in the server code that has hopefully beenfixed. So if you didnt get a chance to check it out and wanted to, you should be able to now: gemini://rawtext.club:1965/~sloum/geminilist/
