I may migrate to Ariane 4 and create a new station account. somehow I don't think the followers are that important, nor the history. station is awesome but due to the slow moving nature the general timeline is enough 😉
being so impressed by https://sectordisk.pw I am currently working on a Gemini server that supports a disk size of 1.44mb, custom ruby code to execute so you can write a path router or a game, and possibly gzip compression for embedded files. this may run with less than 5mb ram
i added the 6th Airborne Ranger Reg. to my infinity section. gemini://gem.antipod.de/infinity/index.gmi
i am creating a gemini version of sad panda. i'll probably share the setup on my log, but the essence is going to be a walled off section behind a root ca authority. it gives me a reason to play with haproxy. so far it's looking good, except that i need to add the cert to the slug if i need it in the walled off section, which is tough, it's tcp after all
is there a twtxt implementation that supports Gemini? the one on pypi (official even?) doesn't seem to
I am selfhosting my capsule on a rpi3 now 🥰
having looked at every gemlog on tilde.pink today, i realize that geminispace may as well be a computer science lecture. 95% male(-identifying), linux users, 30 +-10 years roughly. it's a funky demography. probably not accurate, either. it makes me wonder why being fed up with the www generally hits that demography harder than others
Ansible and chef and salt are like SAP. programmed but the wrong crowd. it's so ridiculous that someone thinks it's better to write config files with a dash in front. Jinja is great though
anyone got any experience with the asus portable monitor line? i am thinking about grabbing a 15" monitor for my rpi3 (hdmi -> mini hdmi) instead of having these ridiculous 26" monitors standing around. but before i invest those 280euro, it'd be neat to hear if someone can speak positively about these (or has arguments against it, please give alternatives)
knowing that i lack the endurance to do this myself, i hope to find a likeminded soul one day that wants to build a mu* with me. when my brain thinks of building one, new ideas arrive every time. today i thought about a mystery themed mush, inspired by vanilla WoW Duskwood
@marginalia regarding your switch off Gmail, have a look at the anonaddy.com service. it solves a lot of spam for me quite easily. migration is a problem, and work, but it's the bestest thing ever. totally worth the money 🥰
second day of work over. i migrated from dev to devops. it's refreshing. even inspires me a little. motivates me. it does reinforce my view on software dev though. no one cares about speed, memory, minimalism and dependencies anymore. it's all thrown together, happy it compiles
I used to store all my projects on GitHub. when I stopped that, I created a bare repo in my Dropbox. now with minimal hardware, there is no way to connect to Dropbox. how do you backup your code well then? without complicated network storage and stuff?
yeah, so this happened. after slowly building my lisp server into something i could run, i realized that 4096bit rsa was slow. i replaced the certs with ecdsa. now my sockets are going crazy. no more data when they are ready, can't read, can't listen. lisp isn't made for this
Over the past few weeks I tried to trace back communities and places I managed to find acquaintances and friends in the past and I was largely disappointed at how few survived or are active. Do people go to Tinder for online friendship now? Especially within LGBTQ communities from then there is a huge gap in the user base 😳
In the shower I had that idea that I could offer a free Gemini service for blogging. backed by titan. and I kept lying out in my mind what I was lacking to do that. until I realized that probably no one would use it, because people who stomach ftp and titan usually know how to run their own minimal blog on a RPI 🤦♀️🙈
Today I managed to get certificates to work so I can actually secure titan behind a fingerprint. what's left now is to port existing feature like the gemlog and other stuff over. all a matter of time then I'll be using a lisp server. small sidenote, I am attempting to regenerate static files where I can. that makes the sites a lot faster
can anyone who knows how to common lisp cffi give me a shout? openssl is driving me nuts but it's the last puzzle piece I need for my CL server 🤣
what do you use to browse on Android? deedum and Ariane are nice, only Ariane properly works with certs, but it lacks a lot of qol things, like retaining position when you go back. also it can't subscribe to feeds
my first backlink submission <3 i am a very happy bunny today! gemini://alexschroeder.ch/page/2021-07-15%20Gemini%20Backlink%20Project%2C%20and%20Titan
after messing up a bunch of my scripts I finally got my specification and implementation of backlinks ready. if you want to respond to any of my logs, leave a backlink: gemini://gem.antipod.de/log
I finished my tabletop army for Infinity today. Tartary army korps ready for action 🥰
yesterday I took gemivim and rewrote it to support gemcall. I added basic cert support and now I'll try to plug in titan. that'll be fun 🤣
Recent discussions here and on the mailing list have made me wonder. If 1x INPUT is basically a way to unlock content, how do you intend to create content? Do you link up your capsule with an FTP and when you want to add or change content (may it be adding a log, a post, a response) the capsule forwards you into a specialized FTP (maybe dynamic) that shows you a read-only file based version of the content which you can append to? Are there better protocols for content? FTP feels like the obvious choice
@marginalia amfora can't connect to the stuff you post on antenna. some tls error :(
god i hate the woke island. and the feminist island. and the patriarchy island. all of them. really hate them. if your identifying as something other than CIS suddenly everyone has an opinion. on everything. all the time. it's like everyone has a manifest that they throw into your face. god i hate them
the moment when you realize that the meditation series you're doing has a technique that makes your condition worse is awful 😔 looks like I gotta restart again and try the next technique
starting to spend less and less time on the other web. i use it for programming and linux pages (man pages, ruby spec/api, openssl) and monster hunter rise related stuff. and with antenna i feel more updated now. it's pretty neat. gemini is evolving nicely
Finally something to show for: gemini://gem.antipod.de is a place for mu* statistics and eventually reviews and other ways to talk (still making plans)
I decided to start working on a clone for mudstats and mudconnector. still some work ahead of me, but it'll be done eventually 🙃
After digging through Gemini I found a bunch of search engines and a dead link to an index of sorts. While it's quite enjoyable to go through Gemini wikistyle, from link to link, it's also tedious. Either my browser l learns to look ahead or we'll get an index of sorts, with categories, for capsules that want to be found, that removes dead links automatically. Gemini is huge, but also quite like a spaghetti of unknown length that someone cut into pieces and jumbled around
@gnuserland I read your request on the mailing list. I believe it's partly doable. that proxy. there are a few pitfalls though. it's complicated
are there any monster hunter players here? time to set up a community? 😁
Gemini made me dig up my old rpi2 or 3, put arch on it and now I am trying to spend more time on text based protocols again. did that 15 years ago once, but then it faded away for whatever reason
just tried amfora. awesome client!
somehow I think building a mush capsule would be quite something 🥰
Banging my head against Ruby SSLServer ridiculousness. When I start a https server with SSL enabled I can easily access the peer certificate. When I use the SSLServer implementation, I cannot! I presume that both servers have different implementations *facepalm*
Question: I am running Lagrange on my desktop. I use X509 certs to identify myself on station. On mobile I can only use Ariane since it supports certificates, but only PKCS12. Is there a way to use the same cert on both somehow, so I can access station?
Making plans on leaving more of the http* internet behind me tonight. Looking forward to the shift
First time playing Aristeia! today. This has literally nothing to do with computers, it's a board game and it's playing with someone (or against). People should play more board games....
Funny how this feels more like twitter than twitter *facepalm*
