Ok, I use my script every day that takes a day's worth of posts and converts them to epub/pdb to be read. I was just thinking it would be nice to be able to just convert a whole gemlog at once too. For when I come across a good one witih lots of posts that I want to read.
> #gemini on a few different IRC servers
zcrayfish: sharing is caring :)
I know #gemini is here on tilde and on libera
I left the libera one because you have to be authed to join and I keep losing it on reconnects anyway
would be nice if ident could be used as "auth"
I guess you'd send nickserv "hey, autoauth please from the IP I'm conneting from, and username that the ident server is replying with"
epoch: wouldn't that mean you have to connect from the same IP every time?
I auth with /msg nickserv <password>, but my client often tries to join channels before the auth has gone through. That's why I have to keep joining #gemini on libera manually after each reconnect :P
I connect from the same IP most of the time
like, yeah, it doesn't make sense for people that network hop a bunch, or their ISP switches around their IPs a lot...
I'd kind of like to do an ident extension that lets me respond with cryptographic proof of an identity instead of just a username
I think that's possible, at least on libera. I don't remember what it's called
there's SASL that a lot of places use to not have to use a nickserv, but I've never used it
and afaict it is more of a pain than using a nickserv pass
or client certs
if a form of authentication needs me to change what my client does, I'd rather not use it
like "HEY! AWESOME MAGIC AUTH! You just have to rewrite the code that connects to the server to use our library that will detect whether the server supports it and then send some magic math numbers"
I tried configuring thelounge to use nickserv for auth automatically but for some reason it never worked. However there's an option to automatically run commands after connecting to a server. I just put the nickserv auth command there instead and it works like a charm :D
yeah, but then I have a password in a config file and that is kind of ew.
I'm fine with it because I self host :D
yeah, pretty much the same as having keys
I have my ssh keys on my trusted computers not need a password
It's only me and two other users. They're non-techie friends who use the one channel on Quakenet. They trust me with their passwords for both Quakenet and their thelounge accounts (which they've asked me to login to sometimes to help them fix problems they don't understand
same here
on a less trusted shared computer I usually hand out the root password so if something breaks while I'm AFK someone else can try to fix it
smart move
I like making myself redundant wherever I work. Bosses love that, because a bus factor of 1 seriously makes them nervous
hello everyone
Is there a way to convert a gemini glog to a hugo blog or something like that automatically
Or maybe have a proxy that supports images
SnowCode: I think I've heard someone mention a Hugo plugin or template, but I honestly don't remember who
SnowCode: how do you mean support images?
ew0k: I mean, when a link goes to a file that finsihes by .png, .jpg, etc it should display a <img> tag instead of a <a> one
ah
SnowCode: what are you using now?
for gemtext to html conversion, I mean
Nothing
But I am looking for it
SnowCode: maybe this could work? https://notabug.org/tinyrabbit/gmi2html I wrote it and I added an option for converting image links to img instead of a, though I don't use that feature myself
ew0k's link to 'https://notabug.org/tinyrabbit/gmi2html'
Nice I'll look at that!
Of course I have no idea if or how it could be incorporated into Hugo :)
there are several projects for converting markdown to gemtext, so that you could feed both your glog and static website

kel: i think the right thing to do is implementing gempub support in coolreader3
it's available on desktop, phones and ebooks
koreader has wide platform support too
I really like koreader
it has a nice clean interface that looks great on e-ink
i've glanced at cr3 code and it's too complex for me
sysrq: I'm not familiar with coolreader3. I do my reading on either my palm pda or a kobo ereader which I use koreader on.
An actual gemini browser on it would be pretty neat. Though I do like just dropping files on it and being offline.

I installed ariane on my ereader, but it runs android and has access to the play store
koreader +
on kindle pw4
What I'm doing is parsing Atom feeds and converting it to ePub, so I can read it in my Paperwhite (3 I think?)
Can you use Android apps in a Kindle ? Didn't now, let me check what model I have
tiwesdaeg: which ereader do you have?
Kindle PW3 (2015) it seems
Interesting... https://koreader.rocks
