The new new thing is Gemini protocol. The new new thing within the new new thing is setting up a personal Tinylog (or Minilog, as you want to call it).
It seems that it's becoming a standard. If you hate Twitter, but in the deep of your heart you miss it, you can use the bash script "lace" to subscribe and read to many tinylogs. Here's the Gemini page that explains where to find and how to use it:
One other little thing: why he's saying that Gemini is not attractive anymore as it was last year? The protocol didn't change at all! Maybe he was hoping of a global spread of Gemini use, but I think that will never happen. Gemini is forever for few (unfortunately).
HexDSL is abandoning Gemini (and Linux too). He says he's bored by the minimalistic approach, so now he has a Windows 11 computer and a Wordpress website. I've no complains to do but I'm a little sorry about that. I used to read what he published, but the new web site doesn't attract me very much. After all it's just another wordpress website.

Ok. Every year the same question: it's 2:24 in the morning and the second half is not even started. What I have to do? Stay awake until the very end or go to bed hoping that the PVR doesn't abandon me? (talking about Superbowl, obviously)
Abandoning doom emacs to switch to the cleaner David Wilson's rational-emacs new package.
Discovering the artificial language Toki Pona (The language of good). It reminds me Gemini itself.
Why podcasts are moving from rss to propretary interfaces? Please stop! I don't want to use you propretary crap to listen to free podcast!
I've just bought a ergonomic chair with support on the knees. The Ikea one. After 15 minutes I'm already thinking to take it back.
How sad. Tonight I came out of work on a break and found a cool bookstore behind via Paolo Sarpi. Those dusty beautiful shops with books all stacked up in no real order. So I bought two books, one about the Soviet Union and another about Muslim mystics. The bookseller gave me the latest issue of his magazine as a gift: a jumble of no-vax pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. Why? Why?
Che tristezza. Stasera sono uscito dal lavoro in pausa e ho trovato una libreria fighissima dietro via Paolo Sarpi. Sai quelle librerie polverose coi libri tutti accatastati senza un vero ordine. Allora ho comprato due libri, uno sull'Unione Sovietica e un altro sui mistici musulmani. Il libraio in omaggio m'ha dato l'ultimo numero della sua rivista: un'accozzaglia di pseudoscienza no-vax e teorie del complotto. Ma perché? Perché?
the news of nvidia's withdrawal from buying arm is good news!
Finally a negative covid test! The quarantine ends now!
And I discovered that there is a similar minimalistic microblogging format called twtxt. But "two is better than one" is not always true.
I'm reading something about tinylogs on geminispace (I thought its name was minilogs.. whatever...). I'm not suer that the dates in my posts fit with starndard proposal, but I think yes... after all is a simple "date -R"
Here's another test... I promise that's the last one!
And a little elisp script to automatically publish posts in this minilog... I'm trying it now...
I have also written some new content for the Retro-Spective section. It talks about my switch from Arch to Debian GNU/Linux distro. It's in two parts. Today there's the first one.
And after so many months, I am here again!
April 25th 1945 - April 25th 2021 Long life the Resistenza against the fascism!
Gemini server finally changed! Sorry for the long silence :-)
Back to Nextcloud... it's the best solution after all.
begin to convert pdf to djvu in my gemini capsule.. to save space and because I like odd unknown formats
Ok. Version 1.4.1 o Isync (or mbsync what's the difference?) completely broke my conf. Time to swap to offlineimap. i hope for the best.
I found other people that remember and appreciate beat time (HexDsl and Uoou). I thought I was the last on the earth. Now I'm a little bit jealous.
But my question is: for me in Europe Beat Time is ok, but what about people in Australia or in America. How can they handle the date change. They still change it at @0?
Oh, they probably don't care about Beat Time. Nobody has cared about it in the last 20 years!
also Fulminacci, Coma_cose and Fedez+Michielin are not bad.
Ok I like Ermal Meta, Maneskin, Madame (sorry... Sanremo stuff)
Ehy! But what about the Trendy Talk podcast? Is it already dead?
Do you know I'm Italian and as most Italians I'm passing this week watching the "Festival di Sanremo" (Italian songs contest). 5 and more hours of absolutely boring live tv every night.
...but I can't stop watching it.
By the way... I passed 1000 in chess.com ELO! yeah yeah I'm great I know it...
Someboy convinced me to play tennis yesterday, after 25 years... Now I can barely move my legs.
Finishing my new nerdy script to handle gemini bookmarks
Fighting against Nextcloud! It doesn't want to install on Freebsd... why why why it has to be so complicated? why?
The links on the "Gemini on Gemini on Gemini" page in my capsule are becoming too many! I put it in order by date (descending)
A chess victory after few days of rest! Good way to start again with my obsession of these months
I have ordered a 128GB SD for my raspberry. I'm seriously thinking about dropping the VPS rental and self-hosting everything I need. After all I have fiber and a static ip!
finally going home from work! saturday night fever :)))
Trying to install a jetforce server on a raspberry pi 3 with freebsd running... I love hard tasks...
I read on gemini://alex.flounder.online that on Monday Chess was the most-watched game on Twitch!! ahahhahh uau!
It would be useful a directory of all minilogs active on gemini
Ok minilog link published on the fediverse. Hello to anybody is passing around here!
Listening to Trendy Talk Podcast about microblogging... but what's the right name of this thing? Minilog, tinylog, microblog, gemlog, tinymicrominigemlog?
I was thinking that it could be useful to write a script collecting different minilogs... and I discover the great lace by friendo.monster... Perferct!!!
Name changed from Gemlog to Minilog. It makes more sense.
So sleepy...
The title is: "Il libro completo degli scacchi" by A. Chicco and G. Porreca. 580 pages....
Now it's time to go to bed. Maybe, first I'll read some pages of my chess book borrowed from the local library. (So I'll understand why I am so dumb to lose the Bishop on the 5th move! Shit!)
Ok. Final score: 2 losses (like a dumb), and 1 hard but great victory! Chess.com score 968. I have to pass 1000! Absolutely!
Lost! Sgrunt!
ok. mars is ok. for me is time of a online chess match.
[nasa] First 2 photos form Mars by Perseverance
[nasa] Touchdown confirmed! Great shot nasa!
[nasa] 7 minutes of terror start now
[test] testing shortcut
Still few minutes to the landing on Mars... whe hope...
Testing automatic file update in the remote server
(Yes, I saw the Netflix series)
Thinking about adding some chess content in my capsule.
Still waiting while I'm setting up the new minilog page... For the moment not to be published!
Waiting for NASA Perseverance landing on Mars.
Questa è la prima prova del minilog
