Uplink is my conection to the Gemini Space. It is to become a great site. At this moment I will be publishing my own articles, my own content.
Uplink.si started about ten years ago. A long time in Internet time. First it was running on free dynamic domains but at some point Uplink.si was registered. The server was always running HTTP and Gopher servers. I was always fascinated by old technologies, primarily because they were simple to understand fully. Back then I wrote a small gopher+ server and client. Now Gemini came along. Gemini is similar to Gopher in that fascinating simplicity. I was able to write a server in about 100 lines of JavaScript and it worked.
This server is evolution of the one I wrote in that one weekend. It is a bit more advanced, it resembles Express framework for NodeJS. That architecture should make it a bit easier to expand. Right now I moved some older content to articles section. Soon more will follow. For now this is a manual process but it kindof feels nice to revisit some old posts.

As mentioned, there is also a Gopher+ server somewhere around here.
