Hello folks good news!!! Telescope has just added support for certificates! And this is my first post with Telescope on Station!
@dimkr Your tootkit is just amazing. I have been hoping for a GeminiUI in my daydreams and now it is just a reality.
It is just amazing! 🎉
But... Yes there is a but... 😔
The UI is confused for a powerless brain like mine, at a certain point I lost the "orientation" and I couldn't understand what I was reading, why I was reading that and where I did come from. I don't believe it is "your" fault, it is just Mastodon that is the worst UI ever.
For me the best approach is the one made by Diaspora/Station where you read only the main thread and then all the children messages, and you just get notifications if a thread you replied got new messages.
⚠️ What's happening on Antenna? Why is it filled by useless comments, published perhaps from a Mastodon instance?
What is this domain?
gemini://hd.206267.xyz/
And what does it mean:
is an instance of tootik, a federated nanoblogging service.
🤨
I was convinced my latest gemlog had would be a great success… but I got zero connection to my capsule since the day I published it… When you dig too much into the peback rabbit hole your personal itches are just yours… 🤔
Hello Friends!
It has been while that I don't write here... Unfortunately when I write for Gemini,for some reason I don't read Gemini as well, and in last few months I found myself busy preparing my latest series…
Today just out of curiosity I checked into Medusa and we aren't still there, I won't be ever listed in Medusa... T_T
suggested by a friend but I haven't read this yet...
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/05/28/the-gemini-protocol-seen-by-this-http-client-person/
Could not resist partecipating to @bacardi55 call…
For the first time I had to go on Gemini to find some information cause I couldn't find anything relevant on the WWW space... Specifically I was looking for info for Briar and Tox, and I got a nice overview on Briar! 👍👍👍
Brutal (web) Design... I was unaware about this new trend since Gemini made forget about the WWW... But actually there is a counter initiative to resinstate a WWW which tries to recover the original roots while using the modern and current features...
https://brutalist-web.design
The author stated seven guidelines to achieve a brutal website and I believe that Gemini checks them all plus adds a couple of more that HTML/HTTP doesn't have by design…
Bridging ActivityPub to Gemini... This is a kind of a broad call to the whole community, but I really like to see someone enganged in creating a bridge between, for instance, Mastodon and Gemini.
Already exist a couple of TUI software (Toot and Tut) that allow to login to your Mastodon account and to browse your timelines through the terminal, my wish would be to subtitute the TUI interface with a GemUI one.
I don't know how to do that because I don't have any coding expertise but I believe it is feasible and it would be much more flexible and better, especially if used with powerful clients like Lagrange.
I'll probably make another call with a Gemlog, meanwhile… 🙏
I finally published my long awaited new gemlog... 👏👏👏

🫣
I fixed all the domains:
gemini://warp.geminispace.club
gemini://omg.pebcak.club
Are fully working even though I removed all the links from the index page of GeminSpace.Club your subscription should work the same.
GMID allowed me to assign the current tilde directories to GS.C therefore both the domains are kind of synchronized...
Bye... 👋
Pebcak.club is (un)officially on-line... 🚀 GeminiSpace.club will be online till July 2025 though... 😅
gemini://omg.pebcak.club

Buran: interesting Gemini Client for Android based on Ariane.
This means clean and nice look and feel. I always liked Ariane, and this is slightly better; it is not feature reach as Lagrange but, for the few that consider Lagrange overwhelmening for a mobile experience and want a basic approach, is higly recommended.

PEBCAK alert... For the third time I am going to change the domain again... 😅
Soon Cage and myself will move from Geminispace.club to pebcak.club... 😁
Pebcak.zone maybe was cooler but also more expensive... But the old domain will be available till it lasts, as well as geminispace.net, but we are so deep into the pebcakness that was natural deciding to change domain on something more appropiate... 🤪
A new Gemlog has been issued!
This has been prettu harsh: I have so few spare time available that I decided to publish as soon as possible and leave the fixing for another time... 😩
~freezr/gemlog/2022-10-30-pico8-development-with-openbsd-and-rpi2.gmi
I'd like to have an editor/organizer that speaks GemText, something that while you write in, it automatically creates the representation of the document on a side column; that highlights each special lines; that you can create internal links to jump between documents or notes; that supports splits and tabs; that you can easily find and replace text; change case, highlight typos; that has an emoji selector; that remember the change you made; that has autosave and autorecovery; that can represent the interconnections of a document (tree visualization); with a nice and intuitive TUI with mouse support while in X.

After some initial issues my new crapbook(CB )is doing surprisingly well, at least compared with the old one.
The most important thing is I could do full disk encryption, this wasn't feasible with the old CB. As a matter of fact reading and writing is way faster, the old CB hung minutes to rsync a bunch of kilobites of the disk (kingstone ssd), the new one ends in few seconds.
I used the old one a lot but modern hardware works just better...
I won an auction on EBay about a 11" laptop not Chromebook, but I am not very sure, I thought I had would lost it... 🤔
The newest, Smarter than Smart, TVs are becoming nastier... 👎

Today I got mad at a stupid PEBCAK, which honestly wasn't so trivial...
What made me REALLY angry were the useless amount of fake as well useless solutions, tips and workarounds... Which really infest the Linux world!
Eventually with @op we were able to troubleshoot the issue and find a real and working solution... however the hours lost on internet reading linux bullshit are hexausting, and I am really pissed off!

Thanks to @ruario my pebcak journal is online, I need to fix something yet, but the recipe provided worked pretty well! Thanks again Ruario!

Hi Geminauts, how can I pass a micro-log style to Antenna?
I'd like to do something like him:
gemini://ruario.flounder.online/journal.gmi
But I will write about PEBCAK... 😅
Hi geminauts,
I have been working for a while on the logo for the Telescope client and today we did the official announce!
:D

Hi folks, this is recurrent topic:
emojis + terminal
I opened a topic on "AuraGem ASK", and if you have anything to share, please, reply there it is persistent and somebody else might find your replies useful.
Thanks 🙏

Hi guys,
who can share with me some decent configuration file for Amfora?
I'd like to change the default colors on something "blueish" or "grayish" but I am too lazy, old and tired to play with its configuration file!
Please help elder folks!
Thanks! :D
Hi @skyjake Lagrange crashes on Antenna constantly on...
OpenBSD 7.1 (32Bit)
Lagrange 1.10.6
Not sure what Antenna is doing maybe @ew0K can share some hints...
Thanks in advance to both!
Hi Stationists... x^D
I want highlight and share @nristen guide to setup filters on Antenna!
Thanks @nristen for the guide and thanks @ev0k for Antenna!

Dear search engine makers how can I tell your services to do not crawl some specific folders?
I use a folder where I upload the drafts and I don't want that discoverable.
Can you help me with this? 🙏
Thanks! 👍
Today I realized the reason why I love Station so much, it empowers users engaging and interaction better than other platforms! 👏👏👏
📢 Question 📢
From time to time Lagrange Android, forgets/deletes all the tabs I left opened... 😩
Has this ever happened to you as well? 😞
Thanks to "gemi.dev" by @acidus I was able to read in a gemini fashion this interview:
gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/article?https%3A%2F%2Fnews.yahoo.com%2Fnobel-winner-spence-sees-non-153043012.html
One thing pointed out is the slowdown's production in China which is affecting the global economy.
Now the linear growth of China was unrealistic, and probably an artifact, therefore I can't stop to think that all this COVID19 situation was made, by China, exactly to slowdown its production and consequently to raise up the prices for units. 🤔
How many wonderful ideas and ways to interact have we?
Just found this one:
//altesq.net/~evenfire/posts/launching-the-camplog.gmi
Actually I did not understand how it works, for me it is just amazing how many amazing things we can do in the Geminispace... 🤩🤩🤩
I finally placed my new home samba server and connected to the lan, I hope to prepare some documentation to share ASAP... 🤔
"Geminispace [dot] Club" has been mentioned in Smolzine #32 🍾🎉🎇

That was easy, I also got the right strategy... 😁
@ew0K sometimes I feel that Antenna should have channels for each different languages... 😶🌫️
Dear Capsulers,
Micro, the editor, is fine to write but not so much for reading, I usually read the drafts in Lagrange with the content already online...
The whole process is a little bit cumbersome... 🫤
What are your strategies to proof-reading your GMI files?
Thanks... 😇
I updated my Capsule description I am going to release a bobshell and I need my back cover! 8-|
@martin in each thread only the OP and the people you "tag" receive notifications. I wonder if you can add a special "@all" command that sends a notification to all the people in the comment section. 🤷
This dilemma is consuming my brain... 🤯
[POLL Which variation do you think is more appropriate or correct?] Gemini space | Gemini Space | Gemini-space | Gemini-Space | Geminispace
Just stepped into this free (as in freedom), open source, ad-free & no-profit web search engine! 😎

Not sure if I want to address this properly through a log but all this copilot thing has several serious implications.
To begin, M$ is good as much any other else corporation looking for profit (by any means).
To continue, Let say that copilot is actually amazing, let say that is not infringing any licenses, it doesn't mean that is harmless. The problem is not copilot itself is who handles it.
To wrap this up, M$ is creating addiction as many pushers do with new drugs, it is giving the service almost for free but the true pain will start when the majority will be addicted.
Good luck!
New Gemlog entry:

I would really publish this also on Atenna but I haven't figured out yet how to re-implement the Atom feed yet... :(

I recently watched this (super cool) presentation about Gopher and Gemini, and it was very fascinating because I didn't know anything about Gopher.
I took that Gemini was "better" than Gopher as axiom, but really knowing why, but now I really got how much Gemini and gemtext made my life easier!
Gopher is actually pretty cool too and there are many tools to convert plain text in Gopher which make the life easier, but I am relieved that for Gemini I didn't need to learn anything more than opening a text editor!
p.s micro is my favorite Gemini text editor ;-)

Hi folks 👋
Could you suggest me a tool for generating atom/RSS feed?
I used to use "gemlog.sh" but I had some issue in using it, mainly because of me.
Thus I'd like to try something else, thanks!
😎
Server updated! Running on FreeBSD 13.1 now!
I just discovered my Vultr FreeBSD capsule came without any swap... 😱
I fixed it creating a swap-file, however WTF! 🤬
I am starting to think that I had better building my capsule on "Amsterdam.OpenBSD" even if pricier... 🤔
My very first post is now finally online!
It is recommended to avoid its reading!
You have warned! 😉

The TLS dilemma... I am recently stepped in a lot of server author logs dissatisfied about SSL/TLS on Gemini, looking for others alternatives; one above the others is the NOISE framework/protocol.
I do not understand anything about cryptography and, as long it works and it is safe, I do not really care about the underlying technology in use.
My question is if TLS didn't work out on the field for many, can we consider to change it for the good?
What are your thoughts in regard?
Hi @skyjake I've just filed a bug for Lagrange 1.13.7, it crashes on my FreeBSD when I want close any tab with the mouse, it crashes clicking the [X] button as well as, just noticed, pressing the middle click/scrollwheel... T_T
I tried to do something for having gemtext available for Mousepad (Xfce default editor) and I learned that is a GTK/Gnome piece.
Unfortunately this task is not trivial as I hoped, and the documentation is old and obscure (at least for me).
Syntax has been already laid off but it is not working with "gtksourceview3", I don't think I'll be able to address anything, not in the short term, but if you want jump in here is the link:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=15957
I wrote to Drew DeVault asking if he can restore his capsule...
Will he ever reply to me? 🤷♂️
Hi folks I made some changes to take advantage of client's euristic so now all the capsules start with a tilde "~"
gemini://warp.geminispace.club/~freezr ~freezr
gemini://warp.geminispace.club/~cage ~cage: should be ready soon (at least I hope)
Fellow Geminauts I have been absent for a while so I'd like to ask of the Gemini mailing has been re-enabled...
Is anyone of you aware about that?
Thanks,
F.
Just found the origin of Gemini on the @krixano's Capsule, super cool!
If you landed in Gemini like me, when everything was almost done, reading that collection is extremely interesting!
Thanks for gathering all that pieces in one place! 👏👏👏

And after Titan and Spartan now we have Minus...
I didn't really understand what is the point of Minus, the disclaimer and the specification aren't clear therefore I already got a bad feeling...

Gnuserland is death long life to freezr!
Hi folks, long time that we do not meet each others. I was know formerly as "Gnuserland" but I closed everything and I came back as "freezr".
I closed my previous domain and I got a newer ones that I share with @cage .
My new domain is "Warp.GeminiSpace.Club"; it is not finished yet but it will be soon!
Glad to be here again!
