Howdy gang, Don't think I've posted to this list since I got involved when it became apparent that with the way discussions were going text/gemini was officially going to be hardwrapped if someone didn't step in to support the one or two people arguing against it. So something like 3-4 months(??). I've had accounts on most of the tildes with gemini servers running, and I was apparently the first person to have a gemini.circumlunar.space account, but I've never had a server of my own. uNtIl NoW! Last night after zooming with friends while blackout drunk I apparently purchased the domain name `commie.space`, and also spun up a debian VPS, so I woke up today to a fully-DNS-propagated server. I also see that molly-brown was installed. I've been meaning to do something like this, so I can only assume it was supposed to be for gemini. Many thanks to the gemini community and smirnoff for the $20/month recurring draw from my bank account. That being said, now that the trigger's been pulled, I plan to keep this thing up, so this morning I actually set molly brown up and quickly drafted up a couple blog (flight log? capsule? glog?) posts, one of which explains what the hell I even plan to put there. At the moment, the idea mostly revolves around wild stories about working retail during the coronavirus pandemic. Maybe I'll write hot takes about the current DiScOuRsE on left twitter every once in a while too. And what would a gemini server be without the stereotypical meta content about gemini? I know it's not some wonderful, novel, interesting use for the protocol, but I figure if I say something here, it might end up in the gemini.circumlunar.space server list, and if that happens, it will probably get indexed by gus, so it will actually be in gemini space. And if that happens, it'll probably force me to actually keep up posting to it. Anyway, that's the deal, I guess there's nothing more to say. Thanks a lot, lel

I would love to hear stories of retail during the pandemic. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.

Congrats, and that's a great domain name.

Ah please add gemini://gemini.ucant.org/ too :) But more seriously - is anyone willing to help me write a "server torture" script? We're starting to need one.

I started one of these ages ago, but never got very far. I agree it's a very good idea. I'll try to dig up my code tomorrow to see which tests I came up with, but certainly I didn't cover everything.
