the power company is doing work in front of my house. Kennedy might go down soon as well as my Stargate HTTP proxy. shouldn’t be down too long

@breakfast_champion reminded me of something I forgot to post for people: Use Marginalia search from Gemini. just enter a search query and get redirect to the results page. works great over an HTTP proxy like Stargate gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/marginalia.py

Hot damn, Furiosa is a great movie. I was able to see it this past weekend while it is still in theaters. If you can see it on the big screen, do it. It's well worth it.

@sean's conman.org website is getting creamed by a HN post. But his Gemini Capsule is still going strong!

"My knowledge of Python and it's ecosystem is kind of like my knowledge of ffmpeg command line arguments. Every few years, for a period of a few days, I'm doing something complex and I ended up I self-teaching myself enough to be a Jedi, only to then immediately forget what I've learned, until the ignorance cycle repeats again in a year or two.

Fun read. Like a short version of "Hackers" by Steven Levy. Also, looks surprisingly good reading it in Gemini via my HTTP proxy since the source HTML is so clean. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/things-every-hacker-once-knew/

Any iOS developers out there? Specifically Swift (and SwuiftUI)? I'm thinking about building a mobile app and was looking for good tutorials/introductions to iOS development with Swift, for engineers without much native app experience. While I think I'm a fair developer my background is in console apps, web apps, and APIs. Based on what I've read, it reminds me a bit of programming Windows apps in the mid 2000's (XAML for declaritive UI, event loops, components with event handlers, etc), however I'm pretty out of practice with that. Any recommended resources to get into iOS development as an experienced dev?

@dimkr has been publishing about Guppy, a new smolnet protocol based on UDP. It's interesting for sure: gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/guppy-v0.2.gmi I posted some feedback on the spec based on writing a toy Guppy client and server. gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2023-08-07-guppy-udp.gmi gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2023-08-08-more-guppy-feedback.gmi TLDR: UDP makes things hard. Writing unambiguous protocols is also hard. Reading and commenting on the spec has been a fun experience though.

So there are more unique finger URL links in Geminispace than unique Spartan URL links. (69 vs 46). 🤔. Perhaps I should be indexing finger 😂 The challenge is "crawling" finger since a human can tell when a response is just a list of user names to query but the diversity of responses makes that hard to program. Maybe I should feed it to a LLVM? "Hey ChatGPT this is the output of a finger response. What words are usernames?"

Spent some time adding new capabilities to Kennedy to help geminauts update and maintain their capsules. I actually built these while on week long beach vacation: gemini://gemi.dev/images/beach.jpg First is a Capsule Health Report, whic shows you URLs of broken or missing links and the pages that link to them. Just type in a domain. Next is "Backlinks to Capsule" This should you all URLs on a capsule and all the URLs that link to them. Just type in a domain. gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/

Based on @smokey's feedback, I added Simple English as a supported language in Gemipedia. I too find this makes complex subjects more readable and approachable: Example: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/view/simple?Apollo+11 You can select the language here: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/lang

I just added @mozz's gemini archives from late 2020 into my Gemini Wayback machine, Delorean,. It now has 2.7M captures from 710K URLs, across 2742 capsules. Thanks to deduping logic, the archive is only 43GB on disk. The oldest captures are from September 2020. It's the best way to find and read old capsules that no longer exist: gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/

Current page is now down to 58KB from 138KB. That's a lot of previously invalid accounts. gemini://gemlog.blue/users/ I'll make sure to include this in my gemlog directory
