"Some people take no mental exercise apart from jumping to conclusions." --Harold Acton
Q: Why does Lojban dictionary have not the word "Stoic"?
A: Because Lojban is a logical, constructed, human language created by the Logical Language Group which aims to be syntactically unambiguous.

“We note further that people who have isolated themselves from others or who live in solitude manifest this defect less frequently than individuals or groups of people inclined or condemned to sociability. And so it would seem that stupidity is perhaps less a psychological than a sociological problem.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am.”
—Cormac McCarthy

Apparently, Gemini has been able to overcome the 90–9–1 Principle (1% Rule) - that within an internet community 90% of participants only consume content, 9% edit or modify content and 1% of participants add content.
I don't really understand why people say 'I've been working like a dog' when they mean to have been working hard... Actually dogs do not work, do they? Anyway, I've been working like a dog, and now I'll be sleeping like a log. :D

I'm using Lagrange 1.9.1 opened from a usb stick on Ubuntu. It was compiled on a Debian system. It is fully operational - except it crashes when I try to open an http url.
This was the final test. I confess that since day one here I was suspicious that this browser might have some shenanigan. Well, I could not find any.
Curiously enough I simultaneously tested another well known Gemini browser, which I intuitively thought would be trustable and, guess what, it was not. (I hate when intuition wrongs me. Don't you?)
I owe @skyjake an apology.
Bad advertising is still advertising, right?
Do not judge by appearances, a rich heart may be under a poor coat. -- Scotish proverb
Some peole are comlaining that their TLS certificates expired, and asking what to do. The simplest thing is to ggenerate a new certificate using another nick. Secnd, if you really value your present nick you can ask @martin for help. Third, you can actually "extend" your certificate following the tutorial on the link I'll leave bellow, but if you're not familiar with keypairs perhaps you will not be able to do it. Here it is and good luck: https://techblog.bozho.net/jks-extending-a-self-signed-certificate/

Ambition Has Roots in Roman Politics - When candidates for public office in ancient Rome wanted to be elected, they had to do just what modern candidates must do. They had to spend most of their time going around the city urging the citizens to vote for them. The Latin word for this effort was ambitio, which came from ambire, a verb meaning “to go around.” Since this activity was caused by a desire for honor or power, the word eventually came to mean “the desire for honor or power.” ...

Been reading and experimenting with TLS certificates. Some are browser specific. Really? Others only work on the DE where they were creted, and not on another DE even on the same machine. The only browser that is able to bypass some of these limitations, but not all, is amfora. Access control in full.
Okay... I'm not trying to be negative or something, but this TLS certificates thing is a pain in the donkey. I mean, now it just needs to change the DE to have no access to my account here. I would have a lot more to say, but it would be unpleasant...

Free tip: If you need to retrieve some files from a server and for some unknown reason scp is not allowed (there are a few reasons for this to happen) use sftp and you'll probably will be allowed to do it.

Using Kristall now. Has a terrible management of the certificates. For example, when I choose "New log" (to write this) it pops-up the following mesage: Your client certificate has a host filter enabled and this site does not match the host filter. New URL: gemini://station.martinrue.com/mc/c880/post \ Host Filter: gemini://station.martinrue.com \ Do you want to keep the certificate enabled? Good grief!
Q: How do you get an exteranl url from a gemini link? (For example, you don't want the link to open on the default browser.)
