You can see the improvement by looking at the history of gemlog.blue's user page in the Delorean time machine: gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/history?gemini%3a%2f%2fgemlog.blue%2fusers%2f ~33% of all accounts were spam so the user list page dropped in size by 30KB between 2023-01-29 and 2023-03-20. THANK YOU @SLOUM!

For example, here is what my capsule looked like a little over a year ago! gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/cached?url=gemini%3a%2f%2fgemi.dev%2f&t=637817435463972450&raw=False

I used all the content from previous crawls by my search engine Kennedy to construct a searchable archive! It's just like the Internet Archive's Wayback machine, but for Gemini. 2 million+ URLs/versions, going back to Jan 2022. Example: gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/cached?url=gemini%3a%2f%2fdrewdevault.com%2f&t=637898933801779424&raw=False You can enter and exact URL, or just search for part of a URL, like searching for a domain name gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/

... ... I'm going to have to write a Gemini client aren't I? [sigh]...

So... The IANA MIME registry officially defines "+gzip" as a valid mime suffix. So... gemini capsules *could* serve a "20 text/gemini+gzip" response for gemtext, it clients could know to gunzip it. Now the client's request has no way to say it support this, but you could config the server with a super simple rewrite rule so that any .gmi file would use a text/gemini+gzip MIME type if the client requests it with an ".gmi.gz" extension. You could also rewrite the gemtext body on the fly so the same-site .gmi links are also .gmi.gz... Is compression for Gemini (and specifically Gemtext) necessarily? No. But it woudl be fun to hack it into a client!

oh now this is interesting bm25 is a fairly standard relevance algorithm in information retrieval. Interesting to see how Yandex applies it to body content, link content, etc. https://searchengineland.com/yandex-search-ranking-factors-leak-392323

@martin, not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but Station doesn't decrement your "Logs" count if you delete a post

Well now that is interesting. I've seen a few capsules that use a "size=" parameter in their Gemini META fields, but this capsule has a "cache=3600"! paramter. Cool hack. I wonder what software this is, and for that matter if any clients look for anything other than "charset" and maybe "lang" when parsing the META field. parameters gemini://gem.bestalbumsintheuniverse.com/

I found it a little odd that the Awesome Gemini list on GitHub didn't seem to exist at all in Geminispace, so I spent way more time than I expected to using wget, sed, and perl to fetch the Awesome List dynamically and convert it to gemtext. It syncs every time I build my capsule: gemini://gemi.dev/awesome.gmi

This is cool. A history of the original Project Gemini, as written by NASA in 1977. Its available as a whole book, but because its a US govt work, its in the public domain: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4203/toc.htm

there is an interesting and serious security vulnerability in OpenSSL that may impact Gemini servers. basically a Malformed certificate can cause a crash to a program using OpenSSL to read it. Gemini uses client side certificates, so I can create a malformed client side and connect to random Gemini capsides and send it as part of the TLS handshake. this could crash the Gemini server. to be clear I think TLS in Gemini is A Good Thing (tm). this is the biggest issue in 6 years which shows how far OpenSSL has come. but it does show how the security of a system is a union of the security of its parts https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2022/11/01/email-address-overflows/
