while checking my access logs, I found a new gemini search engine: gemini://gemplex.space/

hrm...
gonna have to figure out how to get my collection indexed I guess
I figure since it shows alt text, it is looking inside of ``` blocks
I hope I'm just reading stuff wrong.
maybe... match useragent you like, then Disallow: blank, then at the end match the rest and disallow / ?
first match wins, right?
and disallow blank means all allowed?
an example is showing it in reverse order..
oh yeah. dynamic robots.txt might work best.
well. not for gemini I guess.
epoch: you could alias robots.txt to a cgi probably
Good day geminauts~
Just saw a 1 TB microSD card on Amazon for $65 yesterday by Teamgroup. I wonder if it's any good? Teamgroup also makes SSDs. I wonder how well it would work for a Pi for Gemini. Not that Gemini needs 1 TB for anything unless you're hosting some huge EPUB/PDF library on it lol
... 618M here
looking for a linux client app do I go for one that supports both Gemini and gopher or just Gemini. is there a point to combining or is it redundant?
how much do you browse both and how bothered would you be to have to manually copy a link hither or yon
being on terminal most of time less work the better
Maybe bombadillo? It has support for both and is lightweight?
I don't browser either yet but tried some android apps
I saw that. thanks
I found it very convenient that the terminal browsers support both gemini and gopher (and some even support finger)
I use Amfora mostly
bombadillo is also good
anything written in c by any chance? I saw there was a CPP one
most i know are in Go
right. I think the bombadillo might be it. seems the most lightweight
i mainly use amfora since that is installed on the tilde i use most (which is kind of lazy)
rawtext has bombardillo as main browser
w3m has segfault prone patches to support gemini
I use w3m, ill look into it
my fave is Lagrange, but that is a GUI client
and written in C I think
yea too lazy to use x these days. terminal just more comfy
is gopher support even worth it? like did Gemini mostly replace it
im seeing most articles on gopher like pre 2018
there is still a lot of content on gopher
gopher has lots of blogs/holes at sdf
and mozz.us/magical.fish...
lynx supports gopher but not Gemini, w3m has the gemini patch but no gopher hmm..
there seems to be much more activity on gopher regarding blogs than on Gemini
like high quality tech blogs?
there is a lisp person who does gopher which I found quite interesting, i probably do not have a real overview, but there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff
thanks for the tips
@screwtape@mastodon.sdf.org
not sure if anyone tried Xenia, on android. its a proxy to gemini and lets you use chrome or whatever with gemini. works well. very cool
is there a recommendation other than geminispace.info for searching. or is searching not a thing. I read this "search is not as important, currently, on Gemini as it is on the WWW. Subscriptions and cross-site links are the main ways of finding new things." is it still true?
gemini://gemplex.space gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev gemini://tlgs.one etc
thrig's link to 'gemini://gemplex.space'
thrig's link to 'gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev'
thrig's link to 'gemini://tlgs.one'
thanks. thats helpful
i made a page with a list, but it is exactly the ones that thrig listed
nice. newbies need some Google functionality
gemini.lehmann.cx/searchengines.gmi
should be stickied
altagoobingleduckgo it
if you search with geminispace for search engines you find a list which is actuall quite good, better than mine
gemini://gemi.dev/search-engines.gmi

im running into a lot of broken links in searches
yes, that is probably
sorry
lots of sites are taken off after some time looks like
yes, that happens a lot
no not you
im using other search engines
all of them seem to not filter out broken stuff
that might be a crawl delay
or they include RFC or huge archives you don't care about
there is a webring which has a few sites, if you click on random link with that, you also get a lot of broken pages
entropy never sleeps
seems like the find an author and subscribe strategy makes sense
the search reminds me of usenet
ncgopher is for the console, can both gemini and gopher and is written in rust
gplaces just depends on ncurses and few bundled deps
thanks. Im using proxies for both for now
just bookmark the proxies and allows me to use phone browser for all 3
macewentoo: just use lagrange on android
wtf that didnt show up in fdroid searches. my fdroid might be gimped
had no idea that fdroid has external repos. thats why it didnt show
macewentoo: w3m has gopher support.
macewentoo: because foxydroid or fdroid-classic works better
and snappier
fdroid-classic it's in fdroid (do'h)
you can manage your packages and repos from fdroid-classic better
dang. im learning a ton here. thanks all
maybe I wont have to mitm myself with these proxy sites
I just installed w3m with the rkta patch. works well. gopher works too. I think we have a winner
macewentoo: If you get any problems with the gemini patch just shoot me a message. Either here or via email.
oh wow its the creator. thank you for making the patch!
stuff like this is really good for the internet
you're welcome. :-)
being able to unite all 3 protocols in a single browser without software dependencies and extensions is excellent programming
the problem it's the w3m keybindings
and the cursor "floating" around
I mean we just do keymaps right,
w3m lets you change the bindings
yea and you can stick multiple shellscripts into each key
not in my w3m
for me I just use keymap, command, read_shell and then add whatever scripts needed
my w3m lacks the ability to call anything besides vi (restricted), an x11 clipboard command, or a tmux clipboard command
interesting. I take it you forked it or arent using the 0.5.3 tats ver?
it's a fork with patches for openbsd
so it can't do things like run /bin/sh or read from ~/.ssh/
interesting. I have a w3m w3s in my folder thats also openbsd.never tried to build it tho
[200~08:20:42 < alexlehm> epoch: you could alias robots.txt to a cgi probably
I'm using an index.cgi in docroot that checks if PATH_INFO == /robots.txt
ah, tge [200~ is strange
the
i get that sometimes
I also get random ~s at the end of stuff too sometimes.
haven't figured out what causes the crud yet
looks like it only does it when pasting into irssi
probably copying color codes or something
i get that when pasting into the shell, mostly with urls when i use curl (or any command), probably this is the terminal emulation of mobaxterm, but you are likely using something else
is the '2' code for yellow?
terminals, how hard could they be
test
oh. it is the underline
or... the underline copied right.. so something else?
not that anybody will care, but I have to say, i really hate that PHP does not have a startsWith string function
oh, it has in PHP8
:D
just import a leftpad module, what could possibly go wrong
I am used to that in Java, so i am missing it
i am not using any modules right now

yes, i know that story
xkcd:2347
glad the internet knows what I meant
string search finds xkcd://1670
the first result was actually https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency

I was using a hypothetical script that searches the transcripts
just saw something neat.
my robots.txt was requested over gemini with the "useragent" as a query string
yes, i noticed that with one search engine, that is a good ide
idea
that is Lupa
the one I saw was something about kennedy
kennedy-crawler
ok, they do that as well
that is gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/
alexlehm's link to 'gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/'
i have also seen that on a crawler by freeshell.de
