@bacardi55 laced with the strict option does that. By default the resulting file is stored in the lace config directory but the script can be modified to store it in another location. I setup laced to run as a cron job and edited the program to save the resulting file in my gem document folder of my server. So I read tiny blogs using Amfora. gemini://frrobert.net/lace.gmi Lace and laced are at https://gitlab.com/frrobert2/lace
I merged the dev branch of lace into the main branch today.
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io Great minds think alike. I used to have a bash script to add to my Tinylog but about a week ago I switch to Vim. It is either my Vim addiction or my bad spelling that caused me to switch.
I created a simple script to convert my timestamps to the new purposed format. Your mileage may vary https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2136804
@szczezuja I live in tmux before that screen. I use I3 for graphical mode. I usually buy refurbished machines off lease so GNOME is too heavy for me. Also Gnome has a tendency to be like the Borg and assimilate everything on your machine.
Do I have an addiction to Vim if I have configured Lace and Vim so I can read and write microblogs without ever leaving Vim?
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55 I installed gtl last night, very nice. I really like the tui interface. I glad someone else is working on a client than just a bumbly old priest stumbling his way through bash.
The power is back on and frrobert.net is back up and running
@szczezuja I just sent a bug fix to the gitlab repo for an issue I was having. You can see if it makes a difference with your issue
@szczezuja Sorry you are having issues I am using Ubuntu 20.04 so we should be ok there. Are you using the Dev branch https://gitlab.com/frrobert2/lace/-/tree/dev that is the latest? Also are you using lace or laced?
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io and @adele@pollux.casa I just realized my previous post didn't make sense. what I meant to say to say. Should the Author: header be author: frrobert@frrobert.net and not author: @frrobert@frrobert.net and limit @frrobert to replies? I think that would make search and filering easier.
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io and @adele@pollux.casa I know I brought this up before but should we be using @frrobert@frrobert.net as our author value or just frrobert@frrobert.net. Now with lace for search and filtering I let less handle both. Here is my question how do you search for mentions of yourself without getting your posts as results without doing some very strange searches or filter?
@szczezuja Sorry, I didn't see your post till today. The changes I made from the original include the use of PIPESTATUS, pipefail, timeout, wc, grep, and xargs. I think everything except grep is part of standard bash. Lace has always neeed awk and sed. Do you have grep installed?
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io I just merged Hex's list, yours, and mine. Out of the three I think you are just missing two. The updated list is at gemini://frrobert.net/microblogdirectory.gmi
I want to create a directory of Microblogs/Tiny Logs. If you want to be included in the directory please submit your Timy Log and add the word public at gemini://frrobert.net
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io Glad to see you are up and running. I know the feeling, my power has gone out twice since I started self hosting Gemini.
@adele@pollux.casa Thanks for the feedback
@bacardi55@gmi.bacardi55.io All fixed typo on my part.

This week's issue of Trendy Thoughts is out.
@adele I was able to take some time today and add your suggestions about the author and avatar. Since people use @name for the reply shouldn't the author be just name rather than @name?
@adele as I said before I like your idea of the header. You don't need to convince me. I just wanted to know if people liked the idea before trying to update lace. I am not a programmer. I am a parish priest that does Gemini for a hobby, so my time and programming knowledge is limited. Drew from Trendy talk is the actual creator of lace, I just forked it and made changes. Please feel free to do the same. In terms of filtering and searching, lace by default uses less, so I just use less to do filtering and searching. Again if you would rather have that part of lace feel free to add it.
@adele to filter in lace and lacedreader enter a & sign the system will add a / so you should see a &/ at this point if you want to filter on @adele you would enter @adele so the line should look like &/@adele hit enter The reader will only show lines with @adele
@adele currently lace pulls the user name from the subs file and the avatar is pulled from the favicon. The format you are purposing makes sense if there is interest in using that format. Currently lace has to go to each gemini site twice to get the microblog and to get the avatar. Your format would require lace to go to each site only once. So what does everyone else thing? You asked about filtering but before we discuss that check and see if the serach in in lace and lacedreader meets your needs. If you want to find @adele enter /@adele and hit enter and the program will seach for @adele
After my desktop came back up after the outage pulseaudio did not work anymore. After trying a few things, I remembered a podcast about pipewire. I purged pulseaudio and installed pipewire and everything is working. Kudos to pipewire for the save.
Gemini server and http proxy are back up after power outage
I have joined the Fediverse my instance is at https://social.frrobert.com/channel/frrobert
@Toby there is there is an additional program call khard that is a contact list that works with pim utils. It was developed by someone else but it works fine with vdirsyncer. I have been using all the programs for several years and I second your endorsement of them.

I added a strict option to lace and laced. It is called by lace strict or laced strict. It does not add the blue or red since that is not part of the Gemini standard. Here is my question currently the ago line and the user line just show as noncolored text when the strict option is used. Here is the question do you want those 2 lines as just plain text, 3rd level headers, or line items? Thanks

I prefer to watch LBRY videos via YouTube-dl/mpv. While I personally don't care about LBC as a viewer, what is the best way for me to watch LBRY to benefit the creator of the video?
I updated laced with an error checking in the case of the new file is empty
Last night cheese ravoli with vension and portabella mushroom ragu sauce, tonight portablla mushroom and venison pizza. both nights include a side of lightly breaded morels.
I just posted this week's Trendy Thoughts
@Hex a Gemini Log post just for you
Starship got the boot tonight. It is way too slow when using a sshfs network drive with git repositories on it. So I am looking for ideas to make my plain prompt a little nicer
@Hex I have always used either Debian or Debian based distros since I started running Linux full time in 2006. I'll post something on Tuesday or email you.
I updated lace. I added laced which can be used with cron to download microblogs. I added lacedreader which should be used to read the downloaded blogs
I just pushed a testing branch of the font project to GitHub that should run with Python 3
@Hex I only made it through 30 seconds of the song you posted
My thoughts after listening to this week's Trendy Talk
Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!. Have a blessed Pascha.
Whatever happened to May Day baskets? They have seem to disappeared.
I forked bashpodder and created an option to skip downloading of old podcasts
It is an oldie but a goodie. A very simple script to download podcast from rss feeds
The Gemini Server is backup and running
Am I the only one that finds it frustrating that Gemini does not support markdown syntax for links?
Congratulations to Trendy Talk for winning the Papyrus Aardvark award. 🏆 🤣
@Friendo Lace running on Android has started. I was able to tweek it to get it run on Termux on Amazon Fire. Still not working on my phone.
@HexDSL Do you microblog links =>url Then description and then you can go the the link in the client.
I have not used my Facebook account in years and I was hacked today. So I deleted my account today
A fork of Lace, a script to interleave tiny Gemini logs.
I am wondering who also has a Gemini based microblog. I have only been able to find a few.
I have updated the Gemini Mission Log with the majority of my old content from my website
The site now has the Bible in English and Koine Greek
Another Irwin Weil lecture. This time, it is on Crime and Punishment
The Gemini site now delivers random quotes from the Church Fathers or if you are a fan of bad jokes that is also an option.
The Agate server is shutdown and the Molly Brown server has been moved to port 1965.
Here is a link to an interesting lecture about Dostoevsky and his writings by Irwin Weil
Scripts are now running on the Molly Brown server using port 7070
I added The King James Bible with Apocrypha the to the Gemini site.
I added The Prologue from Ochrid to the Gemini site today.
Molly-Brown is running on port 7070 and delivering static pages. I am still working on getting the cgi scripts to work. Apgate is still running on port 1965
Roman is now on pest control. He caught a mouse in the snow tonight.
