jsreed5.org is currently back online after a two-day hiatus. There may be some more downtime in April.
jsreed5.org will be down intermittently over the next few days: I self-host the capsule and we are preparing to move. I apologize for the inconvenience!
Where might I find a deep technical dive into the `git fetch` command? For example, what data does the command check in the remote repo, and what are all the files it might decide to download? I'm especially curious how it works over FTP.
I've been using Red Hat-related OSes almost exclusively for the last several years (Fedora, Rocky Linux, etc.). If I want to go further in exploring complete control over the function and design of a Unix-like OS, is it more worth it to look into OpenBSD or Slackware?
The weather CGI on my capsule is unable to retreive forecasts right now, due to issues in the National Weather Service's API. I'm not sure when this will be fixed. I apologize for the inconvenience! (edited to share correct link) https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/messages/
It appears the Geminispace.info search engine is running into scaling issues. Their search service is currently broken as well. I'd hate to see the capsule fold; they've been my preferred search service on Gemini since day one. gemini://geminispace.info/news
A request for some help! I'd like to add subdomains to my capsule and gopherhole, so that they can be accessed from both the subdomain and just the jsreed5.org domain. When setting up HAProxy, I find that both services can be reached with both subdomains, and only the port number matters. I'd like to restrict the capsule to one subdomain and the goperhole to the other. I self-host, so I only have one IP address to associate to DNS records. Any ideas on how to do this?
A few weeks ago someone on Gemini posted a gemlog about an offline stream-of-consciousness text editor. Each line of text in the editor would fade away after a few more lines were written, but were still saved. Does anyone know the name of this editor, or one like it?
I added an interactive Rubik's Cube to my capsule, which works by dynamically creating links that symbolize a turn of the cube. BUT, I forgot to add the page to my robots.txt at first. Now a crawler is trying to catalog all the dynamically-generated links. There are 43252003274489856000 possible links in total...
gemini://jsreed5.org will be down for a few minutes while the server room undergoes some maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Rob's Gemini Capsule is temporarily offline due to a power failure. I'm not at home at the moment to bring the capsule back online. It should be back up later this evening. I apologize for the inconvenience!
I've finally docked at Station, now that I've gotten around to configuring my clients with a new long-term certificate. Nice to join you all!
