OMG 💡
I just realized my current approach to generating and hosting my site/blog over HTTPS and Gemini might be flawed. I’ve been generating both sites from a single set of markdown files (which isn’t wrong) using Jekyll, but since my HTTP site is already super minimalistic, why not just use a Gemini proxy to serve the Gemini content over HTTPS instead? 🤯
This is going to be my next mini-project: replacing my regular site with just a proxy. I’m considering Kineto but open to other suggestions!

@mx0xee nice! My setup is pretty similar! I’m also using gmid, but I have Caddy instead of nginx 👍 · 4 months ago
That's exactly what I'm doing with m0xEE.Net — it's a Gemini capsule, but when you access it over HTTP(S) nginx calls kineto and throws a nice CSS on top of it. This setup is pretty simple, but gets the job done and it looks nice. In my case gmid which I use to serve Gemini, kineto and nginx are on different machines — but this only makes it a tiny bit more complicated.
Your idea of making links to images display them inline as Lagrange would is good and kineto doesn't look hard to modify that way — I'll look into it, but if you do it first, share the patch! · 4 months ago
@hanzbrix indeed, having markdown in place would make it nicer, but I am really liking the simplicity of Gemini, so I am thinking my site is going to be a Gemini-first site, and the Web version is going to be for the "benefit" of the rest of the world 😉.
That said, I am not planing on completely trashing my previous setup, in case at some point I decide to backtrack. It wouldn't be the first time I do it. · 4 months ago
