I literally just discovered Lagrange's ability to send misfin emails right from the interface. Identities --> right-click your misfin-compliant cert --> send message Also, it looks like @cipres has been pushing out some updates lately. I just installed the newest version on my capsule.

I've added aarch64 AppImages to the python misfin implementation, so you can run it on a 64-bit Raspberry Pi. The AppImages now use python 3.14. [https link]

An updated Misfin specification β Hi all, While implementing my own Misfin server (hermes), I started desperately wishing for a version of the Misfin B standard that was a little more formal. At the time, I had not seen Misfin C - so I, sort of foolishly, decided to take the Misfin B standard, and add a bit of technical formalism to it. [gemini link] Blog Post Explanation Having now gotten a little more in depth with Misfin as it is now, I realize...this seems a bit presumptious! Just to be...

new misfin public server β At my place, we got a new misfin service. It's publicly available, so feel free to get your gembox.

Is it "normal" not to have a "sent" messages box, but only the inbox?

How widly used is misfin in geminispace? Is it 'adopted' in your opinion?

State of the Nat^W Misfin β I have just learned about something, that I find truly bizarre. Advanced Misfin servers may perform CA validation in addition to TOFU. In this scheme, upon receiving a message from a sender with an unrecognized host, the Misfin server may perform a single blank request to the sender's host, and store its certificate. That stored certificate can then be used to verify the certificates of senders purporting to be from that host. I'm baffled, as why is this is not a...

@flipperzero Hey, you probably already know it but ... the hashnix.club misfin service has been down for a couple of days (connection refused). The hashnix gemini capsule works fine.

Until the Misfin protocol is developed (I have found at least three editions), I would like to raise the question about the TLS requirement for all connections. In short, the main point is described here: [gemini link] Personally, I'm using encrypted IPv6 mesh networks like Yggdrasil, and I really don't want any external TLS layer. Maybe it's time to care about now than later?)

I have implemented gemini capsule and added gemini mentions. During mention I save to my db some stuff and I wanted to trigger misfin message to myself. My capsule is written in golang. I thought I should create gembox in my misfin server with separate capsule identity and use this certificate to send message. Is there golang libs or flow how it should be implemented?

AuraGem Misfin Server Domain Changes β Wanted to quickly notify everyone on here that AuraGem has had to get a new domain name (now auragem.ddns.net), so I will have to change my certificates and redo the connections my misfin server has with other servers (for the federated mailinglists and newsfin experiment). This might take a little while, and my address will completely change, of course, to clseibold@auragem.ddns.net. This problem does not affect these domains, thankfully: newsfin.us.to,...

@skyjake On windows, when you copy and paste things from certain applications (like notepad), I believe it uses CRLF, which causes problems when sending mail using the default Misfin(B) format, which cannot allow CRLFs in message bodies (or they will get truncated). It would be useful if lagrange converted all CRLFs in the message body to LFs.

Introducing estampa: Minimalist server for the Misfin protocol β Hi everyone! I've been working on a new server for the Misfin protocol in Rust, using Tokio and rustls. It's called estampa, and it aims to be a rather minimal implementation of the protocol. In other words, its main purpose is pretty much only recieving and storing Misfin messages. For now, the only way to read messages will be through the filesystem, but in the future I plan to implement GMAP and gembox support, so clients can...

So I Read the Netnews Specs β Two things in the internet world have always fascinated me: newsgroups and mailinglists. I didn't grow up in the BBS world of the 1990s, but the idea of distributed messaging among multiple different hosts led me to experiment with a lot of different federated/distributed protocols and networks. Mailinglists, on the other hand, take an already ubiquitous network, email, that is not nearly as held down by binary sharing, copyright infringements, illegal activity,...

Misfin-Server Update 0.5.9c β More advanced threading system - threads now take into account the participants. A change in participants creates a new thread (or "branch"); which is actually a compromise that makes the system *simpler* because of the lack of message IDs and reply-to IDs in misfin. Minimalism often makes simple things more complex. Reply links on gemini mail interface. Misfin links now use new "misfin:" format (rather than "misfin://") You can install misfin-server here, for...
