GdayMy Gemini presence is currently offline

Ive stored blog posts and front page on a Tiny 128gig USB stickwhich I can use on my android smart survliance device via OTG,Custom build Ryzen PC and modded chromebook running Acrolinuxhttps://arcolinux.com/

I use leafpad (appimage) to compose the gmi fileshttps://www.appimagehub.com/p/1255868/

I use Lagrange (Lagrange) to open the gmi files locallyhttps://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases

I am still hunting around for a VPS I can trustthat wont pull my site after the firstweak always offended International Egalitarianism Authorianist demands my deplatformming and censorship

Does anyone know of a good realiable VPS server provider, outside Eyes Survlaiance nations ,that accept phsyical cash instead of Digital state Fait ?

I found Mullvad VPN accepts paymentsusing CASH and ANON idenity- https://mullvad.net/en/

For cheap VPS's I found Lowendbox and Lowendtalkare good sites to discover less 'popular" VPS providershttps://lowendbox.com/ https://www.lowendtalk.com/

All the best during the International Plandemicof 2020-2040 and World Economy Reset

Hello,
Andrew Singleton singletona082 at gmail.com writes:
What do you guys use?
Interesting collection of answers, thank you all.
Me:
I use emacs to write .gmi files. I use fundamental mode, not
gemini-mode.
Then I create the new indices using make and shell scripts. I
start a local (very old!) instance of agate (v1.2.2) to serve
the new stuff on localhost, I use emacs/elpher to view the newly
created content.
Once content I call make again. This will create html files (by
shell script as well), recreate indices, checksum and signature
files and the atom feed. I check this state into git.
Then I push this state to sourcehut and let the CI create the
new state of gemini/html pages.
I also serve the gemlog from a local machine behind a onion
site. The content ist one "git pull" away.
And I have a clone of the git repo on another small machine in
my house. so another git push.
Once the new content appears on sourcehut, I call "make ping",
which calls Antenna to indicate new entries.
The Makefile and all scripts are available here:
https://git.sr.ht/~ew/ew.srht.site/tree
tl;dr:
emacs, elpher, make, shell, gnupg, signify-openbsd, git,
sourcehut-ci, sourcehut.sites.
Cheers,
~ew

Hello,
I use sphinx-doc and I've written a builder (sphinx-gemini-builder on pypi). I
just use git for synchronizing and I launch the "make gemini" command to
create files on the server. In fact, I launch the "make html" too, so I have
same base for my HTML and my Gemini space.
(Note in case of another reject, I received correctly mails from the list, so
it seems I'm a member. Can you give me the error.)
Le samedi 14 ao?t 2021, 19 h 39 min 07 s CEST Andrew Singleton a ?crit :
This isn't a question of server software, or anything backend related
(unless the pages are generated by the server.)
Example: When I was on windows 10 I used notepad and now that I am on Linux
mint I use xed to write the actual page content of my capsules.
Granted the fiction writing components may be written in other programs
(most notesbly focus writer) but for the sake of avoiding BOM and any other
potential snarls I copy paste everything into xed for the sake of
formatting and saving as gmi before upload.
I use filezilla to upload that content both because I find it handy to have
an active sit backup that also contains content drafts that I can then zip
and back up to several locations, and because flounder explicitly allows
sftp.
What do you guys use?

Seriously feeling like my approach is just plain peanuts compared to what a lot of you guys are doing. Granted I don't have to worry about server backend material, and my workflow handles what I need but...
Impressed at what a lot of you guys do.
Keep sharing!

For writing I use whatever text editor I land on at the time, mostly
nvi or emacs. I did write a small elisp function that creates boilerplate
for my gemlog posts for me.
Standalone pages are written in straight text/gmi, gemlog posts are in a
somewhat modified dialect for convenience. The biggest difference is that
I support YAML metadata at the top so I can set the title and date of the
article.
Once I am done with whatever I am writing I commit and push to a git
repository on my server. Once there the process is as described here:

Subject: How can I separate the gemini/mercury and TLS/cert functions
(serverside)?
Message-ID: 8235rasm0g.fsf at nassur.net
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello geminauts,
I am toying with the idea to separate the handling of the gemini
request from the handling of TLS. I believe I have read about
such a setup on a *bsd system somewhere, but I'm unable to find
it again. I /think/ the tls-handling relay was called something
with "jet" in the name, but I could be wrong.
So why would I do this? The gemini/mercury server part could
well run on a small microcontroller. Within my home network TLS
is not really neccessary. But I would be nice to connect such a
controller to the outside world using a proxy or similar, which
does handle the tls and certificate side of things, and relays
the raw request and its reply between the controller and the
client via ethernet.
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
~ew
PS: while I'm good at number crunchers and shell scripts, I am
highly illiterate with respect to anything network and sockets.

you can try vger: it's meant to be run from inetd under relayd/nginx/... because it obviously doesn't handle TLS. But if you make inetd listen on 1965... :)

Possibly wouldn't be too hard to port to a kindlet for jailbroken
Kindles or something?
I tried creating a Gemini browser as a Kindle Java app (Kindlet) but
turns out Kindlets can only make HTTP and HTTPS requests. Requests to
any other port are blocked. The SSL/TLS libraries are also rather old so
I doubt they will work with most Gemini servers. Most HTTPS websites
can't be accessed. The only solution seems to be running a proxy on the
Kindle, in which case you might as well use its browser for rendering.
I have installed the gneto proxy on a jailbroken Kindle 4 NT (2011)
which allows visiting Gemini from its built-in web browser by pointing
it to http://0.0.0.0:8065. This works quite nicely so far. I'm planning
to release my setup/init scripts eventually and I'll post in this list
when I do.
https://github.com/pgorman/gneto
I'd love to have an HTTP/HTTPS (due to very old SSL/TLS), Gemini and
Gopher proxy on the Kindle. I might get around to modifying gneto
sometime. Go is great for this kind of thing since cross-compiling for
the Kindle as of Go 1.5 is as simple as
env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build
Best regards,
Sotiris
