Found nostalgia blog post
I think this post will resonate with the minimalism we embrace here
I can't get on Michael nordmeyer's capsule for antenna with any of my VPN end points. I haven't turned it off to try. anyone else having this issue?
@stack I introduced my 7yo to Set game today. is yours still running here?
I'm surprised there's not an IRC subspace here. anyway, I fired up weechat and irssi this weekend and logged into a server for the first time in probably decades. I tried out libera and found the #gemini channel. I'm not sure how much I'd be logged in, but any suggestions for servers or rooms?
Random find: mutinybbs.com lists this bbs on their board to "dial into". telnet mutinybbs.com 2300
I just found a cool markdown TUI for the linux terminal. I don't use MD that much so it's new to me.
I just hit 2 double fills on my Fill! game today. I find playing these games in a TUI like amfora is pretty enjoyable with the numpad as well.
@CalvusRex - I couldn't find your email so I'm messaging you here (as an omitted post) - your /contact and /guestbook links on your website wouldn't work for me. Just letting you know. I also just discovered your RuneNet site and left a message.
@skyjake what are the stars on the post links for?
I've never seen gemlog posts like this before [gemini link] Also, I just discovered a new (to me) hosting service
speaking of space, we just had a launch
Announcing Pig! (yet another dice game) I've implemented the die game Pig, but this time entirely in Racket [1], a Lisp-language relative (read: functional programming). This is BETA and open for TESTING. The game uses SCGI instead of CGI in order to elminate repeated calls to load and unload a CGI program: Pig is loaded into memory and waits for connections. The SCGI portion was created from scratch as well. Thanks to @stack for the Lisp inspiration. [gemini link] Play Pig! [gemini link]...
For those who play Farkle, Fill, or Craps, or use DSN Antenna - I'm going to be applying patches / upgrades to the server sometime today, which occasionally breaks things (I'm looking at you, Python). Gamestats shouldn't be affected
I bought a Berkey gravity fed water purifier (vs/filter) not long ago. It claims to be able to remove heavy metals and you can take it camping to drink normally nonpotable water from lakes and streams. Filters last for years. They're expensive up front but cheap in the long term. Anyone have any experience or input on these? Reviews and purity claims seem legit.
@eatyourfuckingbroccoli I ate my fucking broccoli today, and it was delicious.

@bluesman - finally trying out the newest version of Alhena. I really like it. Coming from Lagrange, the certs are different, but didn't take me long to figure it out. It also seems a bit snappier than the last time I tried it out. I appreciate all the work you've put into this.
One of my local box chain stores no longer carries regular wristwatches. sign of the times.
Geminauts are the Amish of the internet.
Millet. this may be a staple for others but I made my first pan of millet today. cooked it in chicken stock, then melted in some butter and cheese after, topped with cracked black pepper and chicken. it was really good!
Traveling for work. Just read an article about a local town council unanimously voting in a new data center. Can't say no to jobs and money.
Talk me in our out of this: I am struggling to not pick up a cheap used laptop after the discussion about it on [gemini link] This Thread ...but not for Linux. I am happy with my Tuxedo InfinityBook S 15 and have no real need for a new laptop, but I find myself occasionally needing or wanting to use a Windows machine, either for logging into webmail for work without the hassle, or not dealing with wifi captive portals that refuse to work with linux despite hours of tinkering (my solution at...
SCGI Starter Project in Go — I figured I'd share a little starter project I made in Go that could potentially be used to kickstart your own SCGI application. Tested in Stargazer only.
Find: Stargazer Gemini Server — Today I found Stargazer, a gemini server written in Rust that supports SCGI. I've been using Molly Brown for SCGI development but wanted to see what else is out there. I know GLV-1.12556 supports it as well, but I think it's only via TCP(?), and I wanted to use UNIX Domain sockets instead. Stargazer does both. As some of you may remember, I've been toying around with SCGI on and off for a bit. My drive is/was to reduce the overhead of spinning up a new...
