I got this gemini server running on my home router, a MIPS device running OpenWRT and only 8 MB of flash. Too small to install gcc to compile a server, and the OpenWRT development environment/Docker image is 14 GB. cross-compiling a server written in C for MIPS seems like an exercise from hell, getting everything to link correctly. luckily, Go's cross-compiling situation is really nice and I was able to produce a binary that works with this one-liner:
GOOS=linux GOARCH=mips GOMIPS=softfloat go install -ldflags "-s -w" tildegit.org/solderpunk/molly-brown@latest

the last decade has had me chasing dollars and building software for the web. with the new year approaching, I am finally able to lay it down, say no to new clients, dive deep, and explore new areas where my skills can have a greater impact. after fifteen years of work, it feels like my real career is finally getting started. I have finally learned to separate "me, the freelancer looking for work online" from "me, the human being," which facilitated the creation of this space.
