A space for thoughts on my experimental server.
Not seen any films on Gemini yet, so here to test the idea is the 1985 cyberpunk classic
Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future
Be warned, it is almost 750MB and being served over a slow connection!
Nothing like finding a Blogspot blog with a treasure trove of classic eighties and nineties music, ripped from first pressing CDs in extended FLAC format. If, like me, you are rebuilding your collection it's well worth a look.

Keeping things smol and fast is easier with a minimalist approach. News sites seem to embrace the bloat of the modern web with trackera, videos, and adverts. So I waa pleased to find a nicely curated list of text only and minimalist news sites.

Current things I'm excited by:
Going smol with my ebooks via ProseReader (I've linked the web version but get the Android app via fdroid) and some great, well formatted, free content from standard ebooks.
And also RSS using CapyReader as a simple, phone based reader and filling it with various suggestions from Molly White's blogroll.

The nervous wait as I watch the server rumble slowly through Linux updates via SSH. All done now, so nothing left but a quick post and then the command that always makes me feel like a hacker
>sudo reboot now
That'll show me if everything worked and I can head to bed. Night all...
Well we're back. The server dropped offline due to an IP change from my ISP during two hurricanes. The good news is no damage, no suspicious access on the server, and a quick change to the settings on the domain name and here we are. Onwards and upwards!
Creating a space for scribbles. Really just an excuse to use SSH to login from a borrowed laptop.
I'm reminded again that no matter how sleek the laptop, no matter how cool the 3d printed cyberdeck, nothing looks as awesome as a Kaypro II.
I have a dream of getting one and either using it in its original, beautiful form or installing a modern screen and guts hooked up to that classic chassis.
Well... I can dream...
