[ANN] personal Gemini space and twinlog

1. Hannu Hartikainen (hannu.hartikainen+gemini (a) gmail.com)

Hi!

I've been lurking for a couple of days and had some code merged to
Bombadillo, and now I finally got my own Gemini space up.

gemini://hannuhartikainen.fi/

I'll probably be posting some raw tech content (see the mirrored blog
posts, or my website for an idea of topics), and the non-tech things I want
to write about but don't want to make an eternal part of my public image.
Sorry for not being more specific right now, but my interests vary.

Oh, and there's a feed at gemini://hannuhartikainen.fi/twinlog/atom.xml .
I'd be happy to be included in CAPCOM and Spacewalk if @solderpunk and
@sloum are reading. :)

Thanks to everyone who's been building the community and the tooling! Happy
to be here!

Sounds interesting, but unfortunately I get a "Cert hostname does not match"
error in Bombadillo. Did you use a self-signed cert? If so, make sure
your hostname was entered in the correct field. You will have to recreate
the cert.

Confirmed. Works great with AV-98, but gives a certificate error when
accessed with Bombadillo.

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed now.

Of course this will break TOFU, so at least users of AV-98 who visited
before will have to accept the new certificate with the
fingerprint f83a41457ae34c5cc6b3836bfdd41e4563ac73c4c03c1397306051c2544af491.

I was working with a subdomain for a long time, and only tested with AV-98
and ncgopher after switching domains. Live and learn, I guess.

Joo, min? luen. :)  Kiitos Atomista ja tervetuloa Geminiin!

But, hey, please be very careful about posting stuff in Geminispace that
you would not be comfortable posting to the web because you are worried
about possible real-world consequences.  I totally understand the
concern and applaud you being careful about it, but often these little
"underground" spaces prove not to be as hidden as you might think, in
the long term.  It has happened before in Gopherspace that somebody has
setup a Gopher-to-web proxy or gateway thing to make Gopherspace easily
accessible from a standard web browser, but they have not been careful
about using robots.txt to exclude search engine crawerls from that
service.  Now big swathes of Gopher content are easy to find via Google.
Obviously this stuff does not rank highly in Google's algorithms so it
won't turn up if you are writing about stuff which is widely discussed
on the web, but with a specific enough search term, it'll be there.

A carefully used psuedonym is a better idea, IMHO.

Cheers,
Solderpunk

Huh, that's kind of weird, AV-98 should definitely be checking that one
of the hostnames in a certificate matches the expected hostname.  Or are
you running an older version (anything more than like a week old would
not bat an eye at this).

I was running commit a68e092593fa2999a81edd7a7e111e52076d5922

Sadly I cannot test it again with the latest master branch as Hannu
fixed his server already. :)

Huh, that should definitely have picked up mismatching hostname issue.

Unless Bombadillo only checks the Common Name and not Subject
Alternative Names?

That's a good thing to point out. I think picking someone's words out of
context years later and tearing them apart is inhumane. So that's why I'm
worried and write about it. Not because I think I'm more at risk than any
random person.

I'm pretty sure the previous cert only had CN=gemini.hannuhartikainen.fi,
no SANs. The command I used was probably `openssl req -x509 -newkey
rsa:4096 -days 3650 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem`.
