Where the hell is the marketplace of ideas?
It's midnight, I am supposed to sleep but I didn't find any other thing to do than making a better spam filter.
It's almost 3AM right now and I still can't sleep. Fuck it I'm getting back at my computer. I discovered mitmproxy and I am thinking it may help me discover the CovidScan's API (app for checking covid vaccine certificates in Belgium). I want to make an open source version of that app.
My plan is to take the app's APK, re-build it so it can accept mitmproxy's certs, run the phone and the patched app through the proxy and seeing the requests. If it doesn't work I guess I'll run it in an emulator and run system-certs of this. Or I can try to ask my mom's phone to check if it is running a version older than Android 7.
My new tutorial about this topic
I really don't understand how this thing can run offline lmao. Oh it seems there are open source apps for this already.
I woke up so early today that I feel like it's 5PM while it's only 1PM.
OK I've uploaded my GemPad script I made yesterday on my git. I am considering using jetforce for this server as I could host my cgi scripts here as well.
Just thought about something. I think I could very well port stuff from my old wiki to here, I was the only one to write anyway.
I am trying a new color scheme for my terminal based on a post on r/unixporn (I promise I didn't stay on reddit, I just replied to a message :)
I am still amazed by the miracles of asymetric cryptography, this is actually how the covidsafe thingy works and I think it's neat. I might make a post about asymmetric cryptography and cryptography in general as it's a really interesting topic.
I really count on going to bed early this time.
GemPad beta is online! I am not sure about it though so I might drop this project, it's run but I would rather do a collection of cgi scripts than big cgi scripts. Especially when you consider I don't even use Wattpad.

I don't know if I am feeling like this because of diary (and therefore gemini) but I feel much more happy than before. I hope this feeling will stay when I'll take school again.
I am rediscovering herboristery and am slowly making some guides about making medicines from plants, bits by bits. I think I'll upload it here at some point as well.
I don't know if I'll be able to handle daily journaling on the long term, I hope so but I might have to re-organize my capsule from time to time.
I also discovered a nice playlist
I also sent a message to Kris from "solar.lowtechmagazine.com" as I said yesterday to ask him for permission to use his posts on Gemini.
I learned about himalaya, a very very nice CLI email client which also makes scripting possible!
Here's an example that will delete all messages from quora:
himalaya delete $(himalaya -o json search from quora -s 3000 | jq .[][].id | tr '\n' ',')
And here's another one for listing the most recucrent senders in my inbox:
himalaya -o json list -s 3000 | jq .[][].sender | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
I really think I'm gonna make a post about this at some point because I am currently making some scripts as spam filters that seems to work quite well.
OK I've re-organized my capsule, again, for the third time in 2 days lol.
I don't know why but I suddently had the idea of making a CGI script to mirror Wattpad in Gemini lol. It took me quite a while to figure out how Wattpad stuff work but now it's working. I just need to make the search queries now I think. I'll publish the source code tomorrow here.
I played minecraft today while listening to Konpeito. Really nice vibe.
I am thinking again about my old project for a Discord server named "Break The Stigma". The project was to build resources (a wiki) about mental health and psychology. The website is there but the content is very limited and the Discord is idle since a few weeks now.
The project is pretty hard because it's a topic I don't know well so it's hard for me to write and document stuff about it.
Maybe I could proceed like I did for this capsule, whenever I think about anything, even if it's just one sentence, I write it down there. The problem is that the wiki is not supposed to be a personal work like this capsule. I think I'm going to try this out and ask for feedback on the server.
Talking about writing, I just tried to convert the LowTechMag to Gemini before noticing that the content is under copyrights and that there is a lot of content. I don't know if I should ask the Kris (the author of the site) for permissions or simply abandon the idea of the capsule.
I also wrote an email to "Drew DeVault" and he responded super quickly! I asked him for his web.sh script's source code for building the mirror of LowTechMag. I don't know if it's the right tool to use but it could generate a nice output and maybe the script could be modified to become even more interesting (support for images).

Still on gemini, I was trying to setup a local server (with localhost) but I don't understand why it doesn't work when I try to access it. It says "resource not available".
Later today, I discovered a nice little forum on Raddle called f/hug_this_world which have been inactive for 3 years now but u/carrot asked for reviving it. I've made a post there in which I talked about gemini btw
I am still wondering about my latest post "dream and fears". I don't know if I should rather "declutter" or start from a blank state. Both sound just as hard.
I just made a text that describes the routine I would like to build to achieve what I want and tend toward a more simple life. I might publish it here at some point. Now I'm mostly vibing listening to the lofi music I've talked about yesterday.
It's funny, I just noticed Gemini heavily decreased my usage of Discord and YouTube. That's pretty nice.
I don't know how to organize my index file as it's starting to have all kind of content in here.
Merry christmas, for real this time. I am realizing I really love Gemini actually, both exploring and discovering as well as writing stuff. I don't know if I'm writing for myself or for others here I don't know if I even expect anyone to read this. I just love writing those things and putting my thoughts in here. It helps me calm down and think, it also helps me better understand my thoughts because I can actually see and read my thoughts and keep track of them.
I don't know what makes this so easy, it's just so smooth to write in here, I don't know if I would have done it as well if I was doing it in private without anyone seeing it. The idea that someone *might* see it or that I *might* be able to share it with other people really adds up to it.
I think the comparison with space is actually really really good. It's very imaginative and helpful I think. Gemini is in deed nothing like the web, it's another dimension. Gemini has an amazing feeling, It's the only place where it feels right to put everything here. I can put whatever thing in here, collections, articles, posts, thoughts, files, bookmarks, etc. I think it's my favorite thing I (re)-discovered this month.
I really don't understand what makes gemini so special to my eyes. I don't know if it's the universe around space, the fact it's text-only, or something else. I love being able to write something down, shape it in the way I like it but without it being boring (like with html/css), and being able to publish it and see the result instantly.
What makes me able to write more is I think that I don't put myself the pressure of writing something interesting or long. I just deceided that every time I had some kind of thought that I think is interesting, I would write it down here, whatever it might be. If it's too long, then it becomes a post in my gemlog. As simple as that.
I'll try to understand this better, but so far I really like it.
I also discovered an awesome music, exclusively on Gemini. They release lofi hip-hop for each season, I think you should definitely check that out.
Merry christmas (?), I never know if this is something to say on 24th or on 25th. I think I'm going to setup kineto with a custom stylesheet or something for replacement of my blog. This is much easier to maintain and encompass several stuff (twitter, bookmarks, about page, blog, and more).
I am surprised kineto doesn't want to accept inline images so I might have to implement that myself, but right now I'm too tired to do that.
I think I'll also write a guide about setting up irc (ngircd) with services on here.
Just discovered Avalon's capsule and I absolutely love it!
I think it's pretty sad that the dev of Ariane removed himself from Gemini and stopped developping Ariane.
I just made an ascii art I'm pretty proud of on my tilde.team capsule
