My AuraGem Search Engine (formerly Ponix Search) is back to crawling again! More info here: gemini://auragem.space/devlog/20211205.gmi

Writing a crawler is the most annoying thing ever, lol

For any gemini server developers here, make sure that the matching/checking of the domain name is case-insensitive. It looks like a few servers are case-sensitive with this, which goes against the URI spec.

Solderpunk's gopher article where Input and Input Prompts were first talked about for Gemini. Occurs a month after Gemini's first server. gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space:70/0/~solderpunk/gemini/inputs-and-client-certs.txt

I have brought back up my server. It's now rebranded as AuraGem! gemini://auragem.space

Soon my Ponix server will go through a rebranding, so lookout for that. The certificate and domain name will also change.

10GB file. Casey's refterm prints it in 41 seconds, Windows Terminal takes over 6 hours, and still counting.

Just wrote an issue about how Windows Terminal is terrible and that they keep making excuses when it has been proven that all their excuses are wrong because someone wrote a program in a week that can do many things Windows Terminal can't: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10623

I love how people claim Lagrange is so bloated when it's one of the ones that doesn't even use a GUI library - the GUI is completely custom - and tries to use very few libraries. I suspect the people that are hating on how "bloated" it is are just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

Saying that people should be forced to not use or advocate for a popular browser that they like is deliberately oppressive and these people need to know how dangerous this idea really is. What reduces a "monoculture" and "monopolies" is more competition, not forcing people to use or not use specific browsers. The latter is called taking away people's freedoms.

So, just had a trackfire of an argument about using compressed files in geminispace on the mailing list. I should have known it was not going to be productive, lmao. Just for anyone that doesn't know, the Gemini spec doesn't prevent or "outlaw" specific filestype from being downloaded over the protocol - that'd be called censorship, basically. Letting browsers open compressed files is not against the spec, whatsoever.
💬 1 Reply · 2 Thumbs · 5 months ago
You may have your opinions on what gemini client you like to use, but getting mad at someone for supporting a client they like and looking down on a person for wanting a certain feature in a client is very insulting and not productive. People are allowed to like the browser they like. You don't get to force people to like or hate what you like or hate.

First people complained about Windows 8 and 10 going square, and now people are complaining about "Windows 11" going back to curved design. Make up your damn mind! Do you want it curved or square?!?

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment. Wanted to post this in hopes that other people are better able to recognize when they are being gaslit or manipulated. Don't ever let other people tell you that you are crazy, paranoid, etc. Unfortunately, I've had my own experiences with this, with various people, including family members. Don't ever let others tell you that it's wrong to stick up for yourself. You have a right to stick up for yourself and to tell your side of the story, especially when someone is lying about you.

@skyjake I noticed you setup a finger server! A post on what finger server you used and how you set it up would be pretty cool - I'm considering setting up one myself.

So, for all new capsules that have been indexed by my search engine, I have stopped keyword extraction until I find a better way to do this, which means search results aren't going to be as good as they can be (and will be in the future). The search engine isn't anywhere near complete yet. I have many things planned for it.

Cool capsule I was just told about that lets you play Zork in gemini! gemini://zork.club It uses mbays' gemrepl.

Ok, I've done lots of work on my search engine, including improving the ranking system and it's performance. Searches should be quite fast now. The next step is to improve the keyword extraction, and continue crawling more pages. It has currently indexed 13189 pages. You can try it out now here: gemini://pon.ix.tc/searchengine/

My search engine has currently indexed 6583 pages so far, and still counting.

Currently running my crawler. It's quite slow right now, but it works. If anyone has problems with it hammering your server (the IP of the crawler is 67.60.37.132), do tell me so I can figure something out.

So, I just found out that geminispace.info/GUS blocks a *bunch* of stuff for various reasons, some technical, and some seemingly not. It's also just poorly designed. I'll be making my own search engine for Gemini soon. https://src.clttr.info/rwa/geminispace.info/src/branch/master/gus/excludes.py#L76
