Everything meta about the Geminispace, which doesn't fit into s/Gemini, because it's not related to the protocol or Gemtext, and also doesn't fit the more specialized subspaces. E.g. announcements, shutdown notices, random info, even idle chatter.
Wrote a tool to convert graphics to text art in the style of shaded block textart seen on textart.sh. It's pretty simple and scales output to <100 pixels for rectangular pixel art and <50 for square pixel. This works out to a max of 100 columns. You can feed it http or https URLs, but not gemini. Sorry, I'm just using the default file handling. Hope it's useful for some other people. [gemini link]
What to do about lost pages? — I'm relatively new to a web that is smol/self-hosted. I'm enjoying the experience, so thank you. I've run into an issue (feature?), and wonder how you all dealt with it: Ephemerality. There is content on the fedi/smol web that could be lost forever. On the www, there's quite a bit of redundancy. If I can't find the article/story I'm looking for on one site, a quick search reveals multiple places that it's been backed up. I can't really think of many things that...
Image size — How large should images be in the Geminispace? On the WWW, I would just link to photos straight from my phone, but those files can approach 5 MB. Does anyone have a soft mental limit of, say, 1 MB? Or smaller? 5 MB is probably overkill; I may go smoller, but I don't know that I want to be smaller.
Now play any day's puzzle in 🗺 Where in the World? game! — I finally got around to adding the ability to play any day's puzzle in my geography guessing game Where in the World?! I also added "Go to Next puzzle" links after you have finished one. This makes it really easy to go on a geography guessing binge and play the 500+ puzzles that already exist!
Share your gemblogs here, this id mine, in spanish, about Haiku, karate and random stuff. => [gemini link]
How do you keep on top of new capsules in gemini space?
About Gopher and Gemini Content — Is there any high quality content in the Gopher space that is not mirrored in the Gemini space? "High quality" is of course subjective, but anything that would soon appear on the common aggregators (Antenna, Cosmos etc.) or on the forums (BBS, Station etc.) and that would either entince debate or be seen as a reference by many would do. I ask this because I fail to get friendly with Gopher. Again it's subjective, but I really miss encryption, reflowing and the...
Sourcehut is suffering a DDoS — Sourcehut is currently down due to a DDoS. They host some gemini capsules in there so some of you may be affected, I know I am. Details in [https link]
Add search to your capsule with just a single link — 🎯 Kennedy Site Search adds search, just for your capsule, all from a single link line!
New "Certificate and Key Validator" service to Kennedy — I added a "Certificate and Key Validator" service to Kennedy. This helps you figure out if a certificate/key change on a capsule is from a innocent change by the capsule owner, or a possible MITM attempt. Read me here: [gemini link] If I ever build a Gemin client, I would probably build something like this into it. (with a perference to disable). As in, if you access a capsule and it's cert/key is different, my client would check with...
Evil eyes capsule, check it out — Brand new, just wrote a bash script for it. Try to reload page multiple times.
openid in geminispace i was saying that there is no need in social networks since internet is a social network. we have sites, the updates is possibre to fetch anonymously via rss. but if we wanted to comment with our identity, then openid was the way. so rss+openid solves almost all what we use activity pub for (i was gonna write except private messages, but even private can be done). if we adopt something like openid or openid in geminispace, i think that will cover most of our needs....
Station BBS looks broken — [gemini link] - I want to register there, I have succeed creating a user certificate, sucessfully entered my nickname. And then I stuck, only option available for me now is the button called "Join station", which is strange, i have already joined. What should I do next? Is it normal behavior for Station BBS? Can I contact Station admin for assistance?
The best xmas gift — Here's what I'm giving a few friends this year. Pretty neat, right?
Infinite Scrolling and hyper personalization are evil — I miss the old BBS and forums long gone the few that exist are like ghost town. Once in a blue moon I go back and I remember vividly certain topics or obscure knowledge bits. The ability to navigate and map the information with section, broken down into topics and comments. The main page was the same for everybody and everybody knew what the other would get. Those are two things missing from the modern web. Both infinite scrolling and...
Whatever happened to Konpeito? — I was looking around the corners of Geminispace that I used to frequent, when I discovered that the Konpeito site is down, and seemingly has been for a while. A few people are hosting backup mirrors, but I'm interested to know what happened behind the scenes, if anyone knows anything. Mainly, I'm wondering why the project ended, and if there's any sort of alternative, sister project, or successor!
It's sad that Gemini is so small, but i think a slow growth is better than the boom that happened when DistroTube a nd a bunch of YouTubers made videos about it. A lot of people joined but then left afterwards. I did discover Gemini through them thought.
Google's Gemini AI — What do you all think of this? Does this naming choice have the potential to hurt the Gemini protocol? Or do you not care?
Wrote a review on Digital:A love story [gemini link]
Got my capsule up again — I have got my capule up again at : [gemini link]
Hello everyone, I'm new to Gemini. Recommend some interesting sites please
building the graph of Gemini — Has anyone ever tried to graph the geminispace? I know there are a bunch of crawlers, but I can't find anything related to building a graph to visualize how geminispace is structured, what clusters it has, etc. I think it could be a good tool to explore new communities that you haven't seen yet, by traversing the graph.
My capsule mess I have a two years old capsule, more or less, anything the thing is that I started adding posts "just to try Gemini" so with no concerns for any file structure. Now it seems that I'm settled with chronological folder structure where my gemlog posts are in year/month/ But what do I do with my old posts? My guess is that I should move them to integrate them in the new structure, and add redirections to reflect their new locations... but that's something I've never done "by hand",...
Nice work @Acidus. 👏 Since you are displaying the email contents as preformatted text, it may not (should not, IMHO) be wrapped by clients to fit on the screen, though. Any chance you can wrap the long single-line paragraphs to a shorter max width? Of course, on mobile devices, preformatted text is not great but I can understand why you'd choose to use it here.
Would Gemini survive an attack by the mainstream commercial users out there? I keep wondering...i mean its wonderful that there's this great community of folks and a bunch of pretty useful advice and articles....but what happens when mainstream media and similar folks decide to move in? At the very least i'd imagine that they'd start posting click-baity attention grabbing articles....and overrun places like this - bbs....with their content. Are there any plans in place to prevent stuff like...
