Titanic Public Page Experiment — [gemini link] or titan://spell.mywire.org:1912/index.gmi;edit Please feel free to edit/add something to the public titan page at the link above. Collisions will happen if two or more people are editing, so be patient. Titanic is a simple gemini/titan page server built on libFornax. Trying it out -- and reporting problems -- will help me shake down any remaining bugs in libFornax. Thank you, and enjoy.
Titan URLs [preformatted] This is from transjovian Titan spec. Is this really where the query string goes, at the very end? I always thought of querystrings as part of the slashy path part, not after some parameters separated by semicolons... Have you seen these in the wild?
Re-imagine — Imagine there's a heaven It's easy if you try Dark Hell below us Above us -- the Big Guy Imagine all the people Living one big lie... Woo-hoo. You can say I am a dreamer But I'm not the only one We'll fix your head with a reamer¹ And the world will be as one [1] See illustration [https link] Found this, my own creation, from some years ago on the Station. Where I was accused of being a Christian fanatic.

@fab, if it's not a secret, could you tell me what went wrong at envs? Want to make sure not to step into a pile of anything.

@darkghost, haven't seen you around in a while! I hope all is well.
SicMu Music Player Lament — I love(d) SicMu on Android. It was fast, the display was file/directory-based and compact -- matching my expectations and my file system. I truly hate having to tag and retag my collection and find out that songs are missing anyway... Alas, it started crashing daily. I found myself spending many minutes every moring, manually shutting it down, erasing the cache, erasing the storage, restarting. Sometimes several times. Sometimes taking longer than my moring…
... The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. ... From The Ladder of St. Augustine By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [https link]
@bluesman, I did not want to pollute the already-too-long emphasis thread and start a war... As you are probably aware, my snarkiness has likely cost me my reputation here. I doubt snarkiness about gender and skin color is appreciated by many (myself excluded, as an equal opportunity snarkster -- anything else is just sexist/racist).

Antenna disallows indexing other ports? — As you may have noticed, I have many gemini servers running on different ports. I just found out that Antenna rejects an rss index that points to items on another port. Why? I don't know. In my case, I have a server that serves the rss feed on port 1966 (the SpellBinding game server), but the server which dynamically generates custom game summaries lives on port 1968. It's a no-go, apparently.
Shokz headphones [gemini link] Love them!
Nothing Works! — I am losing my **it. I spent the day trying to get syncthing to work. Fail. I decided to do something simple. I use Harry's shavers, as my beard is apparently made of stainless steel and regular shavers don't work. Sometimes I use 3 or 4 disposables and it hurts. So I could not log in for some reason. It's been a while and I probably changed the password. No problem, click on reset password. Ugh, the associated email account is on SDF. Ugh, their webmail gateway does not…
Spellbinding dictionary — @smallpatatas While the dictionary is top secret, I would be happy to share it with you for your game of you promise to keep it to yourself... I mean the I dictionary, not that we are collaborating.
Gemini Text Format in your gemlog — @love, again welcome. I saw your post via Antenna, and wanted to let you know about a small problem. I had a hard time reading it on my phone because you broke lines with a hard return. The Gemini way is: put two returns only at the end of each paragraph. I don't know what editor you use, but set it to word wrap. That allows the readers to easily read your posts no matter what their device is. I am looking forward to reading your posts. P.S. This message will…
Folding Kayaks - Free Market Wins In an earlier post, I showed much enthusiasm for the origami-folded kayaks, made from a single sheet of coroplast. I complained that the only company selling them was charging $1000-$2000 for a $40 sheet of coroplast with a few folds and straps. I labeled that 'Another Failure of Capitalism'. [gemini link] Well, free market is back, and EBAY and Amazon are full of folding kayaks from $120 up. That's more like it. However, since that last post almost a year ago,…
45.157.179.215 -- who is running this search engine? I don't normally log, but I was debugging my Fornax-based gemlog and turned it on to see that someone's been fetching from most ridiculous URLs here. To be fair, by accident, my gemlog will return the entire gemlog index for any URL instead of an error message. And all relative links will work from there I first noticed this crawler a few months ago asking for strange urls like "[gemini link] -- which actually work. I thought it was kind…
Developing a Strange Psychosis — For a while I've been playing a visualization game "Rotate a Cow". Basically you picture a cow and spin it around as if it was on a CAD screen. Over the last year I've been trying a different experiment, and it is backfiring. In this one you place yourself into another person's head, and look at the world from their perspective. It is purely visual -- you are just trying to see what they would see. You can focus on a passerby in the street and "invade" their…
Android file manager Anyone know of a reasonable file manager? Especially for a larger screen device? Android apps make me feel like my hands are tied behind my back and I am using my tongue on a jigsaw puzzle Two panes would be a blessing

Such Ugly Cars — I can't imagine buying a new car. Aside from the stupidity of dozens of computers, cameras that spy on you with a hidden internet connection, they look like total s**t. I was walking the dog today, and every car parked in the street looks like an ugly sneaker. Drives like a car, looks like a sneaker.
rbtms - human or not? I just got 17 thanks/reactions from this user, entered within 1 minute. Is this a human with some kind of a tool/script or a bot?
@bsj38381, sorry I deleted your post, but please don't post answers to the current puzzle.
