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?
Sync bookmark? — I've never been fond of to sync my bookmark if firefox, but now on gemini, that I have a key that is attached to a 'avatar' I'm thinking that having my bookmark synced between all my lagrange browser would be interesting! I assume that if a page would be dedicated to your bookmark, lagrange could sync it... Is that something that is possible / in the work / never will happen?

Writing a blog post (on the web, sadly) about Geminispace. Are there any other cool sites on here that showcase what the Gemini protocol can do?

Maybe this isn't new news, but the cli version of Lagrange (clagrange) now builds from the `build-tui.sh` script. (It didn't before, or at least not the last time I tried it.) It's actually an excellent text browser. It seems weird that @skyjake never got it working until now. Perhaps his reasoning was not to suck the air out of the TUI space like he did the GUI space. Well, that albatross has flown. We are now living in @skyjake's world. Until the revolution ;-)

Vigilia.cc - Planned Downtime Notice — Between 10 and 13 July 2024 vigilia.cc will experience intermittent service due to “migrating” … We’re moving house! Service shouldn’t be out for very long but hiccups might occur.

GOWIN Chinese FPGAs — I haven't done much with FPGAs for a bunch of years. Kind of got disgusted by the proprietary hardware, terrible tools, and general awfulness of verilog (and god forbid, VHDL). Also, modern CPUs can emulate most things I want from FPGAs, but much faster and neater (less physical space, which is at a premium)... But I couldn't resist buying a little $10 Sipeed boards with Gowin FPGAs (Nano1K). I should've spent the extra $10 for a much more useful 9K, or even 20K (still...

TFW you fight with the distribution scripts and AppImage configuration for hours and finally discover that the reason why the built binaries are misbehaving is because the compiler produced invalid code with the default -O3 and everything works perfectly if manually forcing -O2. I suppose this is because I'm using such an old compiler to do the prebuilt Linux binaries (GCC 7.5 in Ubuntu 18.04)... On the upside, I now have a working standalone `clagrange` AppImage _and_ a binary tarball as...

Update: I pushed the new user stats feature. Currently it is not tracking the tournament stats, so those will always be zero, for now.

I sold my medium-format camera gear yesterday to someone who sounded excited about it. I'm glad it will be seeing some use; I haven't shot with it in a couple of years. Money has been tight and it feels good to be rid of things I'm no longer using.

Just found out this was a thing. I am very curious about the whole "client identity" system... can self-signed certificates be trusted? Wonder if there's a way to sign a certificate on, say, my VPS, and use that certificate to verify my identity. I really want to nerd out about this lol

Gemtext Caddy Plugin — I developed a Caddy plugin for rendering gemtext files to HTML, which is useful for those of us wanting to serve our capsules over both protocols without introducing some middle service to do the translation. The post has more links and details, but I figured I'd drop it here in case it might be useful to anyone.

Updated mobile builds — (UPDATED again on July 7): Android Beta 30 and TestFlight build 1.17 (13) are now available. I fixed (or attempted to fix) a number of issues reported via the iOS TestFlight feedback system. At least a few of these were clear memory access violations (like using freed memory), so hopefully the app is a little more stable now. The rest of the fixes relate to text rendering. I noticed that some glyphs in preformatted blocks were being mis-selected if they were missing from...

If dogs could vote, would they vote for Larry the Cat because he's the only non-human (excluding that AI candidate); or would they vote against Larry because he's a cat?

+13 Colonies: HOly Cow K2E is killing me... and perhaps a few thousand other hams... they keep working WARC frequencies which not the holy trinity of the bands. (20,40,80m) the rest of the K2# stations have been really good about splitting time across the big three. K2E is still operating at 30+ WPM too and not answering straight keys which is pretty BS. So here's the thing, if you're using 20m, 18m, 15m, 10m you are no going to be heard by the east coast. And if you're only working at 30WPM no...
