A while back I had tried to install libressl so I could compile hurl¹, as it's a dependenency. But that was really hard because I'm on Devuan and not Gentoo, so I'm for the most part stuck with OpenSSL (okay not really, but I am awful at compiling C programs and I can't sort out the library paths easily).
Fast-forward to today and, thanks to acdw's post, I realized that the problem had to be on my end since he could connect to certain hosts. That jogged my memory to my sorrows of libressl. I uninstalled it and tried the link again and now I can go anywhere on Geminispace!!
In short, although I don't like the OpenSSL codebase, their code works fine and it was all a PEBKAC problem.
Since I don't really want to make a separate gemlog entry about this, I want to give anyone using gacme a heads up and say that I'm working on adding support for user input. I wouldn't pull the master branch down yet as I'm going to be making updates to it and it could break things. This'll hopefully be done soon!
