Re: Gemini Digest, Vol 23, Issue 44

Gday

Thanks for the great gempost CyberTailor  !!

I managed to throw up a simple gaming group front page tonight
which Ive been putting off for a while

I will be working on my own personal domain tommorow

----------------------------------

Are any gem servers already packaged in Docker or some vitualised container
So one could run

VPS server
Container
	- 1 - plain static website
	- 2 - gemblog
	- 3 - mumble
	- 4 - irc/xmpp


--------------------------------------

The Gnuserland

Do we want more centralised "review" and "scores" sites
that end up getting abused, doxing people and lying about
customers or business's

What about creating a review in
- textual form
- photos
- turning that into a blog and pdf/gemfile
that can be downloaded
and on top video review hosted as MP4/WebM (XviD/X264/AV1)
on the gem server and or peertube instance

I like Lukesmiths Recipe site idea - http://based.cooking
maybe something like that could get adapted to reviews
but as gemspace is for the entire world and not a single district/city/nation
it might have to get sectioned off for areas/cities/nations, along with food types.

-----------------------------------------------------

Funding :-

Problem with "mainstream" and "ALT tech"
they both rely on the International Central banking cartel
with payment processors , paypal, tspring,etc

Also with Goverment demanded handouts an USD$20 shirt
often ends up AUD$35/NZ$35/CA$35
(Remember its not theif when the goverment calls it 'taxation' / gst+vat / 
income 'tax' /etc)

Maybe help fund Master Server Hubs, District/national servers or
invidual popular servers hosting various users that goes towards
 VPS/cohost/server costs directly

Instead of going via some huge payment process or banking cartel system

I would avoid Cypto all together

The only currency I trust is anonymous phsyical cash (coins/notes)

----------------------------------

Side note if anyone is interested in alt currency check out
- Community Currency
- Local Currency
- Agorism + Counter Economics

Dear Charlie,

Its always a pleasure to hear about creative uses of value.

Of course, there are many examples of local scarcities producing
economic value and advantage
=> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_purple
 ```
Biological pigments were often difficult to acquire, and the details of 
their production were kept secret by the manufacturers. Tyrian purple is a 
pigment made from the mucus of several species of Murex snail. Production 
of Tyrian purple for use as a fabric dye began as early as 1200 BCE by the 
Phoenicians, and was continued by the Greeks and Romans until 1453 CE, 
with the fall of Constantinople The pigment was expensive and complex to 
produce, and items colored with it became associated with power and wealth

Tyrian purple may first have been used by the ancient Phoenicians as early 
as 1570 BCE It has been suggested that the name Phoenicia itself means 
'land of purple' The dye was greatly prized in antiquity because the 
colour did not easily fade, but instead became brighter with weathering 
and sunlight It came in various shades, the most prized being that of 
black-tinted clotted blood 
 ```

And then there is the Norman technique:
=> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_stick#Split_tally
 ```
The most prominent and best recorded use of the split tally stick or 
"nick-stick"[6][7] being used as a form of currency[8] was when Henry I 
introduced the tally stick system in medieval England in around 1100. He 
would accept the tally stick only for taxes, and it was a tool of the 
Exchequer for the collection of taxes by local sheriffs (tax farmers 
"farming the shire")[citation needed] for seven centuries.

The system of tally marks of the Exchequer is described in The Dialogue 
Concerning the Exchequer as follows:

    The manner of cutting is as follows. At the top of the tally a cut is 
made, the thickness of the palm of the hand, to represent a thousand 
pounds; then a hundred pounds by a cut the breadth of a thumb; twenty 
pounds, the breadth of the little finger; a single pound, the width of a 
swollen barleycorn; a shilling rather narrower; then a penny is marked by 
a single cut without removing any wood.
 ```

# Here is the formal title of a horrible person:
 ```
Prince Andrew:

Full name: Andrew Albert Christian Edward

Full title: His Royal Highness The Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward, 
Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, Knight Companion of the 
Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian 
Order, Canadian Forces Decoration, Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty.
 ```

Here is the LP sleeve featuring an unfortunate application of purple:
=> https://img.discogs.com/ySEwys4w4dhLw5IMHmVcBYvmNG4=/fit-in/600x600/filt
ers:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-374086
3-1427878432-9699.jpeg.jpg

And the setlist:
=> https://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Royal-Wedding-HRH-The-Prince-Andr
ew-Miss-Sarah-Ferguson/release/3740863

(FYI, his full title is nearly as long as the number of tracks)

# Is it possible to tally him?

Set a base price and build an exchange rate determined by logistics
costs for said item?

I could imagine Prince Andrew saying:
> Tally Ho!

With apologies to Miss Sarah Ferguson....
