I moved Kennedy from an old mac mini running MacOS, to an old mac mini running Ubuntu. Let me know if you hit any problems

gemlog.blue is a great idea, but its become a wasteland of spam, thanks to account creation and posting via a insecure web interface, with no captcha or verification. So stuff like this happens: gemini://gemlog.blue/users/Jasonneorp/1656260599.gmi gemini://gemlog.blue/users/2tpuqZCI/1646694574.gmi gemini://gemlog.blue/users/GQD2qjzO/1640806567.gmi the vast majority of users/pages is spam from web bots gemini://gemlog.blue/users/ Does anyone have contact info for who runs this? Would like to help try and clean this up. Otherwise I'm going to delist it from Kennedy

🤔 so... crazy idea. Kennedy's crawler allows me I can see all pages in gemini space. Which means I can detect all the atom feeds and gemtext pages with URLs that comply with "Subscribe to gemtext page" standard. Which means I have a list of URLs I can check for posts/updates. Which means I could build a "super" Antenna, which aggregates all updates across all of Gemini, daily... an "orbitial antenna" if you will... 🤔

I made an emoji test page since some emoji haven’t been displaying when I use Buran on Android on a Kindle Fire. gemini://gemi.dev/tests/emoji.gmi also, how on earth do I get Lagrange to display emoji as solid, colorful emoji instead of the Noto style outlines? I think I installed the GNU emoji font @Skyjake suggested but no dice

I really really wish more Gemini clients URL encoded a space as + instead of %20. my posts to Station could be so much longer 😂😂

inspired by @smokey asking about a public Duckling proxy, I set one up. put this in your Lagrange proxy settings for HTTP: stargate.gemi.dev:1994 this lets you access HTTP resources from Gemini and converts to gemtext on the fly: http://www.example.com WARNING: this is a public proxy. I can see your web traffic. dont be a jerk and access illegal/explicit stuff I’m experimenting with a more generic Gemini-HTTP gateway and running Duckling is good experience of how well current proxies handle modern websites

a gemlog on crypto crashing: “millions of people who lost their whole life savings” “thousands of people who committed suicide” ok. first of all, if you want to make wild claims about thousands of people dying, you’re gonna have to cite a source. have a September 11th’s-worth people really killed themselves? ditto for the claim that “millions have lost their whole life savings“. who puts their life’s work into a single coin of crypto? if they exist, that’s negligence, not investing comatoast, Being so hyperbolic makes it hard to take you seriously, which is a shame because your content is usually awesome

calling all spartan capsules! do you have a spartan capsule? please reply with a link. I’m looking to play around with Spartan crawling and indexing and need some example capsules. who knows, maybe Kennedy will be the first search engine for spartan 😂

about a month ago I posed here about building a Gemini interface to Wikipedia. after a month of bug fixes and new features (tables with row and column spans!) I announced it on my gemlog and Antenna. check it out gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2022-05-10-launching-gemipedia.gmi

FYI: I updated the certificate for Kennedy (Kennedy.gemi.dev). it’s now an EC certificate with wildcard support. i’ve got some exciting things I wanna do with it.

Security issues in Elaho: HTML tags rendered in plaintext and JavaScript execution. I mentioned these a few weeks back and tried to email the author multiple times in the last 3 weeks with no response so I filed public bugs: https://github.com/pitr/gemini-ios/issues/41 https://github.com/pitr/gemini-ios/issues/42

Hello all, I’m looking for some people to beta test a gemini front-end to Wikipedia I’ve been building. Specifically I”m looking for feedback on the interface, and any articles that aren’t rendering well. There is a “report a problem” link on the bottom of every page. While some big items remain (no support for tables yet) others have been solved (math formulas work). Only the English WP is supported for now. I’ll need a little help from people who know other languages to get the international versions working. Reach out if you use WP in other languages 🙌 Thanks for your help! you can try it below: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/

question for everyone: do you use any of the Wikipedia proxies in Gemini space? if not, why not? if so, what would you change about it or add. for me, it not handling redirects is a big one (search for any fighter jet and you can’t read the article) and not having links to any other Wikipedia articles

oh shit. I just found JavaScript code execution in a Gemini browser 😬😬. I’m literally looking at an Alert dialog. (goes looking for developer contact info…)

this story describing a Startup “disturbing” static file hosting is both hilarious and rings a little too true. feels like an episode of Silicon Valley where you know it is satire but also you could swear you have seen it in real life too. well worth your time! gemini://marginalia.nu/log/51-the-file-startup.gmi

A Ukrainian soldier on a tiny island in the Black Sea didn't hold back when threatened with bombing by a Russian warship as Moscow continued its assault on Ukrainian territory. The Russian officer says: "This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed." A Ukrainian soldier responds: "Russian warship, go f*** yourself." Those were the final known words heard from the island https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_071a90a9516ca180d1cafb3b751fa81f
