man i like gemini's lightweightedness (if that's a word) like the fact that gemini is just like straight to the point makes it perfect for when you only have your phone's mobile data and you wanna browse a lot and not use up a lot of that data. do you guys ever gemini on the go? what browser(s) do you use? i use lagrange, but it kind of feels like apple's safari browser lmao. do you browse the smallnet a lot when you're away from home? like talking on bbs/station or just checking up on sites…
@stack Aug 13 2026 circa 11:00 EDT I cannot get to the spellbinding server. Did it go down?
Why are linux distro image filesizes still tied to file size limitations of optical media? — Since 5+ years I haven't touched an optical medium anymore to install linux. Especially for debian, the largest ISO's are ~40 GB, mimicking dual layer blue ray discs. I doubt that anyone will burn this to a blue ray anymore... so why not just provide "full" image (at least as as jigdo template) with evertyhing in main (~130 GB for amd64).
Rogallo v1.8.0 — New update to Rogallo, which adds a small number of changes over how things get shown in the viewer itself. [https link] [gemini link]
Human code (some examples) — Code is an artform. If you've encountered (or written!) program code that reveals the humanity of its author, please, I'd like to know about it. Wry, angry, frustrated, gleeful, poetic, or butthurt comments. A spontaneous haiku. Huumorous or pointed identifiers, metaphorical abstraction choices. Or even solving things in an unusual, novel, or awkward way. Most code written today is much, much more sterile than some of the code of yore (especially, hobbyist/indie…

Server with better CGI support — I've written a bunch of CGI scripts and I'm now cleaning them up and standardizing things. I am moving configuration over to a .env file but because molly-brown doesn't give the base URL path of the script I had to program it in. Don't love this so I am in the market for a better server. Anyone run a server using CGI? If so does your server give the path with the script? /foo/cgi-bin/bar.cgi/quux?abc would return /foo/cgi-bin/bar.cgi

Currently reading "Disposable People" by Marshall Goldberg M.D. & Kenneth Kay. Really enjoying it so far. It's about an epidemic outbreak of a disease called Consolvo's Ulceration. Just taken delivery of what I think will be my next read too... "The Time Trip" by Rob Swigart. Know nothing of the author but it sounds refreshingly unique. Basically a computer scientist doesn't pay his Wife enough attention and she unalives by putting her head in a Microwave. There's then some realisation on his…
I like this [gemini link] idea - a gemini frontent to git repos... I tried signing up, i.e. I requested an invite, but never got any reply from the creator... ☹ source.community ?
books.txt - new gopher page — i've made a series list for the murderbot diaries. there's enough mini stories and chronological back and forth to warrent it. mostly cribbed from wikipedia. i really should add a symlink so this stuff is reachable via gemini too...

Tinylog and GmCapsule problems — I started trying to use gmcapsule and have been attempting getting tinylog working. Whenever I go to my url/tinylog.gmi there is an error and on the server it gives me File "[mylocation]/tinylog.gmi" in line 70 in module page_number = int(os.getenv('QUERY_STRING')) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' If I set the value to 1 or 2 for example I can access it (obviously not correctly). I can get to the editor but can't submit, delete, or start…
html2gemtext — Yesterday evening, while messing with improving the display of Markdown documents in Rogallo, I managed to nerd-snipe myself... [https link]
Fitting Gemmail into Misfin request — Question about the Misfin(B) spec. I am writing my own server and client for run and ran into a question: Spec says requests in Misfin are single line formatted: misfin://<MAILBOX>@<HOSTNAME><SPACE><MESSAGE><CR><LF> But Gemmail is a multi line format. So how does that work? And how does Misfin servers know abouyt the message's MIME type to know to parse Gemmail or nor?

hey guys! so basically, i got a haiku vm, but then i remembered... haiku has lagrange! so, i went to [https link] haikudepot to check what version of lagrange they had and it was... 1.17.6. i thought to myself, "wouldn't it be cool if i somehow got lagrange 1.20.9" (the latest version of lagrange as of writing) "on haiku?" so i took on the adventure of updating the haikuport responsible for lagrange, and what do you know... updating was one rename away... EXCEPT! i had a few problems with…
Offline, browsable archives of capsules — I've been exploring different ways to have an offline, browsable "capsule-in-an-archive". Think having a downloaded copy of @JBananna's TLDR archive, my XKCD collection, or even an entire Subspace from Bubble! I considered Gempub, but technically Gempub only supports gmi, txt, PNG, and JPG files. So... maybe? But maybe a generic ZIP could work. Many browsers support browsing a ZIP file directly. I see if a few issues, but I don't know if they really…
Rogallo v1.7.0 — I spent a bit of time cleaning up the internals, now that there's multiple supported protocols. This paves the way for a smoother experience if/when I add any others. I also made some improvements to browsing local Gemtext files, which should make it even easier to preview the source of a capsule before pushing it out into the wild. [https link] [gemini link]
Integrated Media Player — A long time ago I wrote a browser extension that would scan for audio URLs in the web pages you visited, list them within a tooltip and allow you to add them to a playlist. The original manifest v2 version was called Extereo, but I endend up abandoning it. I vibe-coded a new one called Audini that I use every day. Over time, the web has become more hostile to these kind of applications. Content distribution is becoming more and more gated and sites will not expose…
udp or tcp? just a short question cuz the spec says no state is kept but doesnt mention any specific protocol
Mouse Scroll Wheel Reversed by Latest Update — So my Xubuntu box has just finished a biggish update, and I find myself scrolling the wheel the wrong way. My muscle memory insists that rolling the wheel down pulls the scrollbar down, which scrolls the text up as I read. It seems counterintuitive to push the wheel up to get to the bottom of the page. And yet, that is what my computer now expects. But it is possible that I am just nuts. [A few minutes later] Luckily easily fixed with the…

Tutorial or Howto to install Misfin (Type B and C?) on FreeBSD — I have to admit, I'm a bit late to the party, but I have my difficulties to figure out how to set up a Misfin Type B and Type C server in general and on FreeBSD in particular. I have my difficulties to gather together all neccessary information, because it seems to be scattered all over different places and the support for the different types (probably only Type B and C) is another problem. It would really be good if there is some…
