I have republished my article/essay on the history of Unix Shells, and have updated it to include more information on Multics: gemini://auragem.letz.dev/~clseibold/20230924_ShellHistory_Unix.gmi

Recently got a fortune cookie that said this: "Truth will be your biggest ally this month."
I wrote a new extremely personal post: gemini://hashnix.club/users/clseibold/20230923.gmi
AuraGem Music's Public Radio now has multiple stations! There are 4 different stations: Diverse, Mainstream, Classical, and Non-mainstream.
Diverse will play all of the genres at specific time slots.
Mainstream will play mainstream genres, like Pop, Rock, Acoustic, Cinematic, and World.
Classical will play Classical as well as Classical-adjacent genres like Jazz, Blues, and Calm Piano.
Non-mainstream will play Electronic, Lofi, Ambient, and Rock.
These classifications could change in the future. If you have any suggestions on where you think a particular genre should belong, I'm happy to hear!

Rosy Crow has an issue tracker on Bubble, in case people use that android client: gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/s/Rosy-Crow-Issues
I'm considering a workaround for mobile devices that have no way to stream audio via gemini. I might go the Gemini to HTTP proxy route, or just offering the public radio stream via HTTP.
I have made an announcement post for the AuraGem Public Radio that has more information on Supported Clients as well as a new project that I intend to work on very soon: gemini://auragem.letz.dev/devlog/20230918.gmi
AuraGem Public Radio Bugfix: Songs should be properly randomized now :D
If someone could test if they are able to stream the below link on Rosy Crow on Android, that would be much appreciated :) gemini://auragem.letz.dev/music/stream/public_radio
AuraGem's Public Radio Schedule has been updated: gemini://auragem.letz.dev/music/public_radio/schedule
AuraGem Music's Public Radio is now live: gemini://auragem.letz.dev/music/public_radio
AuraGem Music Bugfix: The bandwidth throttling of music files was on a global basis by accident, which meant that it was throttling bandwidth for the sum of the bandwidth of all connections. Now bandwidth throttling happens per connection, which means there can be concurrent connections of 320 kbps streams running.
Tl;dr: Music files should no longer pause when multiple people are streaming at the same time. So if you experienced pauses while streaming before, give AuraGem Music another try - it should be much better now :)
I've been working on something for AuraGem Music for a while, and it's very exciting. So, initially AuraGem Music would just serve you the mp3 files that are in your library. But this meant you had to manually click on each song you wanted to play.
But now it has three new functions:
1. You can stream a full album in one stream. AuraGem Music will strip the ID3v2 tags (I'm working on getting it to strip *all* tags). No need to manually click each song anymore!
2. You can do the same for an artist's full collection of songs that are in your library.
3. There is a new "Shuffled Stream" option to infinitely stream songs from your library in random order, like a personal radio.
So... apparently the openssl command overwrites files without notifying the user. I was quickly pressing the up arrow to run previous commands and accidentally ran the command to regenerate the certs. And openssl just wrote over the existing files.
So AuraGem has a new cert again. Lol. *Sigh*
Can someone please explain to me why some gemini browsers are completely ignoring the Common Name field in certs and requiring domains to be in the Subject **ALTERNATIVE** Name (SAN) field? This feels like it's completely incorrect and broken.
AuraGem now has a new certificate. When you re-visit the capsule, you will have to accept this new cert, unless it's your first time at the capsule.

Apparently Amfora verifies certs differently than other clients, so it isn't working for AuraGem. It might have to do with CN vs. the subjectAltName thing in the certificate, but I'm not quite sure. I expect clients to look at *both*, because I use CN for the main address and subjectAltName for alternative domains (hence the "Alt"), but maybe that assumption was wrong, idk.
If anyone knows anything about this and how I can fix it, that would be appreciated.
I'm relaunching AuraGem Music. You can find more information here: gemini://auragem.letz.dev/devlog/20230914.gmi

I have a new capsule! gemini://hashnix.club/users/clseibold/
Hello! I used to be called Krixano. Decided to get back on Gemini after being off for a while. Lost my previous identities, which is fine, because I'm using a new username now.
As for AuraGem and what happened to it? It went down because I wasn't able to pay for the domain any longer. I still have the server and all of the code and content, fortunately.
Anyways, I plan on creating a sourcehut page for static content for now, because I've decided to mirror articles that I've been writing to here.
