i cannot resist again to not mention that we have no comments in our gemlogs usually, and that even if i registered there on someone's gemlog, with my keys, then it would be great to be able to check somehow that i am the same person i link to (my comment should link to my capsule). and i just thought abut it: if i use the same keypair as on my server, skyjake, and everyone, do you think the random gemlog can make sure that i am indeed the person behind the capsule i link to?

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the kind feedback, I'm a bit taken aback by your wonderful comments. I'll try to respond:
@stack and @norayr - The site is served up using a CGI script I cobbled together in Python. I am running gmid with fastcgiwrap as the server. The python script is a single file, It's basically a flat-file CMS, parses folders and serves up files in them. Folder display can be configured with a .toml file placed in the root. I like the simplicity of just copying a file to a directory so no "admin panel". It has some extra features: it can process macros in gmi files, and I added some custom markup for footnotes. I might release it if there's interest.

@Queen_City_Nerd How wonderful! I would be so interested to read reflections from you - on Yiddishkeit, on Scriptures, and faith in general! I looked up your capsule and was trying to connect to the BBS but it seemed to be down...

@skyjake Thank you so much for the reminder and your feedback. I love how Lagrange formats links with icons and have been having fun with that, but you're right about the slightly confusing look. I'll give it more thought - either make the previews less like feed items, and let people subscribe to the central / individual feeds, or make the front page subscribable... I'll have a think.

@norayr Re: notebook; amazing! I think I made a mistake in the post, I misremembered, it is indeed an Intel system. Re: commenting, yeah, I've been thinking about what the best way to get comments working would be. I like how some use "fedimentions" and scrape replies to Mastodon posts containing the page URL, but it might not be the quickest.
Re: Verification of identities - we could come up with a convention of providing a link to our "canonical" fingerprint. I published mine on my gemlog so people can verify it really is me. Perhaps this could be automated somehow: upon registration you could supply a link to your fingerprint hosted on your capsule for example?

@Vigilia.cc so it's up for sure. I've got email over at hashnix.club if you want to trouble shoot. You need a client, you can't get into it via web browser. If you're running linux you might have telnet in the command prompt too. Address is: queencitybbs.ddns.net
and the port is: 607
Gem email: QueenCityBBS@hashnix.club which I think is very BBS like and only internal to other hashnix.club people. If you hit the front door 3 times in 120 seconds and fail it will auto black list your IP as a bot too. Keep me posted and Sholem Aleichem!

Something I especially like about your pages is the ASCII art.

@blah_blah_blah Thank you! Love ASCII art really. I’d love to know more about ANSI art too - admire it but creating it is another matter…
Vigilia.cc revamp — Just wanted to make a quick announcement to say I did a fair bit of work on my capsule, and I kinda like the stage I got to with it; so have a look if you want. Please feel free to subscribe to the feeds as well - I’ve added gemfeeds to it.
