@elektito had a quick look at your capsule. Liking the content so far :)
What are the most unique uses or biggest "abuses" of the gemini protocol you're all aware of? I read that some people have used it to stream content.
Personally I can't get the idea of using it to access a remote drive/image out of my head. Data is encrypted during transit, you can use the client cert to restrict access. As gemini doesn't have persistent connections the performance might not be great but I can think of a few ways that it might be good enough for workloads that are heavier on reads than writes.
Finally doing something with my capsule. There's not alot there at the moment but feel free to check it out at: gemini://dimension.sh/~drh3xx/
Do any of you use Lagrange on multiple devices? Wondering if you have a slick setup to sync your bookmarks and identities/certs. So far I've been manually SCPing between devices.
Have been spending a bit of time trying out DWM. Not sure if I'll stick with it long-term yet but I've learned a few KSH and OpenBSD things getting a statusbar script put together. Just need to add battery charge level and current IP/network now to be on par with my old i3 statusbar config.
Has anyone come across any capsules containing good fiction in genres: horror, sci-fi or fantasy?
Have been debating whether to join the station since I first discovered the gemini protocol. Left Facebook and LinkedIn a while ago so wasn't sure if Station should have a place in my life.
I'm going to (rather obviously) give it a try. Gemini is great both in concept and content but sometimes I'd like to start a dialogue with other gemini users and the options are usually; you can't or it's via an "out of band" method such as Email or mainstream socials. Since I'd prefer to reduce my usage of those systems it doesn't leave many options :'(
