2023-09-11 AuraGem Relaunch, New Domain, and New Cert

Welcome to the AuraGem website! I am relaunching it with some updates, a new domain, and a new cert. AuraGem is now hosted at auragem.letz.dev.

I had started this server over 2 years ago when it was originally called Ponix (at the url pon.ix.tc). I then rewrote some of the code into what is now AuraGem in around 2021-2022. However, AuraGem went offline again in 2022 due to my domain expiring. I did not have the financial means or the time to get a new domain.

However, I have decided a few days ago to spend the time getting a new domain from FreeDNS and setting the server back up again. This time, I have a free domain and set the certificate's expiration to far in the future, so there shouldn't be any more shutting down of this capsule. Most of the site should be as it was in 2022, with some exceptions:

I have rewritten the code to the weather service. It is now powered by IQAir and provides the AQI.
I have updated the search engine (AuraGem Search) with a new Features page, improved searching speed, crawler updates, and support for backlinks coming very soon. At this time, the crawler has indexed 316,000 pages of geminispace.
The Music service is down atm until I can make the necessary fixes (which is hopefully soon).
The Starwars database information needs to be rebuilt. I may turn this into a collaborative effort in the future.
The YouTube proxy has been updated and should still work.
The Twitch proxy was brought down. I do not have the resources to keep it running atm.

I also have other updates planned:

Fixes to the Sefaria proxy.
Finish the Github proxy.
Bring the Music Service back up.
Significant Search Engine updates, which you can read more about on the About and Features page:
