Following on from random2934 throwing a project idea out there. I think something that might be useful to folks is if someone was able to host a DynDNS service which used a periodic gemini request with an identity cert to update IPs for registered domains associated with that cert. Registration (including association of the identity) and management of domains and associated RR would be fairly doable via a gemini interface. Nice easy: setup of the service and add the domain(s) you intend to...

Hey everyone, just wondering if any gemini users also use telnet or ssh BBS's on the regular? Any recomendations if so? I never really used them back in the day but its something I've been wanting to give a try for a while now.

Well, I took part in the #oldcomputerchallenge this year. Though I found I didn't really have enough free time to feel like I sufficiently.participated.
