Solderpunk's Phlog (weird vestigial Gemini edition!)

Oh, hi. You've ended up somewhere a bit odd. Let me try to explain.

In ye olde days, before the Zaibatsu offered actual Gemini hosting, I used my GeGoBi software to mirror my gopherhole into Geminispace. At the time, I didn't even have a gemlog of my own! These days the Zaibatsu does offer Gemini hosting, and I'm making use of it for my own capsule, which means my gopherhole in its entirety isn't mirrored anymore. But some folks have linked to my old mirrored phlog content and I don't want to break links or bookmarks, so I've tried to keep things working like they were before, hence this page.

You're not "supposed" to use this page. It's not updated regularly and doesn't feature links to recent content.

If you want to read my ranting via Gemini, you should use the link below:

Here's my gemlog

If you want to read my ranting via Gopher, you should use the link below:

Here's my phlog

Everything I've written since around the middle of 2020 is available in both of those places, formatted appropriately. Everything I wrote before then is "supposed" to only be available via Gopher, like it was originally. But secretly it's all still here for the sake of backward compatibility with that brief window of time when GeGoBi was running. So, enjoy your illicit experience, but please don't link here!
