When the CGIs on my capsule need to store data, I use SQLite as the backend. I'd like to try out a document-oriented NoSQL database for my next project. MongoDB is the obvious choice, but I don't like its licensing terms, and I like that SQLite doesn't require a process to run all the time. Is there an open-source document-oriented database analogous to SQLite?
Gemini has changed my perspective on social media in ways I didn't expect. Even from a technical standpoint, I don't see much of a need for heavy communication platforms like Twitter, Bluesky or Mastodon. Station and Bubble have shown that it's possible to build a thriving discussion space with only a TLS certificate and a GET request.

Is there any way to get past a captive Web portal that requires Javascript on a Debian device that does not have a GUI Web browser? This problem is plaguing one of my laptops.

My intermittent capsule outages are being caused by what appears to be a very aggressive crawler. The capsule's robots.txt file tells bots not to index my CGI scripts, but this crawler is ignoring the file and sending multiple requests per second against my scripts, which overloads the server and causes it to crash. I've temporarily solved the problem by blocking the crawler entirely; I'll look for a more permanent solution.

It appears my capsule [gemini link] went down at some point yesterday evening, and I only discovered it this morning. The capsule is now back online. I apologize for any inconvenience!

A standard deck of US playing cards has 54 cards including Jokers, and the standard Rubik's Cube has 54 stickers. Therefore it 's possible to represent the state of Rubik's Cube with a deck of playing cards--and it's possible to "solve" Rubik's Cube with them.

jsreed5.org was down for several hours last night. A problem in the underlying EC2 instance caused it to become unreachable, and I didn't notice the issue until I woke up today. It has now been resolved and my capsule is available again. I apologize for the inonvenience!

I forgot to post about this on places other than my capsule. A major bug was discovered in my chess service last week, which often caused match invitations to be deleted while being created and locking users out of making another invitation. This bug has been fixed. Thank you all for your patience!

I am currently changing how my capsule is hosted, which requires DNS modifications. jsreed5.org will be down intermittently while I do this work. Thank you for your patience!

My capsule ([gemini link]) will undergo a very brief outage around 18:00 CDT due to our ISP performing network maintenance. I apologize for any inconvenience!

jsreed5.org will be down for a short time tomorrow, and possibly on Sunday as well. We are painting the room the server is in, and it will need to be moved out of the way (and back in later). I apologize for the inconvenience!

I finally got around to installing a UPS for my home server and storage. My capsule should stay online more consistently now.

Hello Bubble! I'm excited to see projects that explore the power of the Gemini protocol like this.
