Found simple server for gopher protocol: [https link] it contains traverse request check - that's fine, even untested it requires `cargo update` on modern systems
Added [gemini link] links clickability (proposal) to Halloy IRC: [https link] Gemini + IRC = <3
Hi all y’all! Through the years, like many others, I’ve noticed the progressive increase in finding the kinds of small, personal/hobby sites I used to love on the internet. I randomly stumbled across Gemini and… wow. I’ve already found a solid number of things that are great! A lot of what I’ve found so far is rather techy, which is fine. One day, I’ll finally get my own website up and I’m kinda considering having a Gemini capsule as well: probably with some overlapping content, but not 100%.…

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…
Syncthing -- just doesn't work — Some time ago I briefly tried syncthing as a simple way to transfer files between my PC and a couple of android devices I use. I loved it. It installed, noticed new devices and let me connect easily, transfered files as intended... So as my locations, and almost all devices turned over, I forgot about it. Today I thought I'd restore it. In fact my tablet still had it installed. But, sadly, it seems to be gone. There is no more syncthing; there is syntching-…
Happy thing: An international visitor bowed with hands together and gave me a warm "Domo arigato." (Thank you.) Sad thing: My wrist is killing me... I can’t even type properly. Replies will be slow for a while as I can't use my PC. I'm terrible at texting on my phone!
hello world! 🖖

— ph.flounder.online/Aetherine_story_1.gmi
New flounder page + Story — Basically finished writing my one off story and added another page Please enjoy! (Also, please let me know id there's any weird spelling errors, since I've written this entirely on Notepad)
Without headers, there is no way to detect if document exist: for example, zip archive is always downloading with 9 bytes of size. Yet another problem: even the protocol is Unicode oriented, URL-encoded links are unuseful. Madness! I need Gemini without TLS just.

Launched Disciples 2 on Linux without Wine (Ukr) [gemini link] Disciples 2 в Linux на базі Disciples.Net (Avalonia)
Cogitationes et commentarii diei Saturni. Sol lucet, super hanc urbem septentrionalem, plerumque frigidam... Intuens ephemeridem, nonum diem Maii esse video. Forsitan mihi perficienda sunt haec examina, examina quae mihi aestimanda sunt. Forsitan mihi sarcinas ad commigrandum parare opus erit, fortasse armarium meum chartarum ordinare. Num eire foras in alterum diem differri potest? Num amicam vocem ut veniat? Num mihi deambulandum est? Quid arbitraris? Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres,…
Junulino, kiu kantas finon de mondo — Hodiaŭ mi sonĝis pri junulino, kiu povas flugi, sed ial neniu miris pri tio. Kutime ŝi flugis proksime al tero, tamen ŝi ankaŭ povas flugi alte. Ankaŭ ofte ŝi iris surtere, ĉar ŝi ne volis, ke la kruroj malfortiĝu… Foje ŝi trovis templon sur la supro de monto. Sur la plafono de la ĉefa ĉambro estis bela pentraĵo de nekonata mondo, kiu mirigis la junulinon, do ŝi esplorrigardis ĝin dum longa tempo. Nur poste ŝi ekvidis kojnoskribaĵojn sur unu muro de tiu…

This is a fantastic rant that made me laugh a couple times.

On forking the Web — dillo@fosstodon.org wrote today: After taking a quick look at the "Prompt API" document, I decided to write some design notes towards a fork of the Web. Unsure if it will lead anywhere, but.

I have a new home on the web at [https link] Writing about tech, the small web, self-hosting, music, history, and whatever else has my attention. There is also a small forum for people who want to stay and talk. No ads, no tracking, no algorithms. Just writing and conversation at a relaxing pace.

The Chronicle of Beelzebub - Halfway There — It feels a little surreal to write this now that my Astrobotany plant named Beelzebub is 333 days old. We're halfway there. Another 333 days to go and take that screenshot [gemini link]

Could you help me understand the nuance of this English phrase? — I was watching this video to practice my English listening skills. Around the middle of the video, there's a part where someone says, "Yeah. But the bottom bunk...pretty—" and then follows up with "pretty often" while laughing. My guess is that they are laughing because they stumbled over their words and felt a bit embarrassed. Is that correct? YouTube ID: k0Hdqiqaqnw [https link] I’ve also made a transcription of this, so…

Solenne Aeris — Solenne is one of the many members of Aetherine group of angelic like beings who are philosophical, compassionate and also wants humans to read their philosophical book called “genderless beauty” and how humans should move on from rigid and outdated gender roles/stereotypes. And their philosophy is also called “Aetherism” which is also a sub philosophy of my “Feminist Androgyny” philosophy because why not.

RSS or Atom? — What kind of feeds do y'all publish for your HTTP websites? I know that Gemini typically uses lists of links as feeds instead of dedicated feed formats, but I want to publish a dedicated feed for HTTP viewers of my blog. I'd like users to be able to read my blog's feed with the same tools that they consume their other HTTP-space feeds with, and not all tools support Gemini feeds natively. I currently have an Atom feed set up, but I wonder if it's well-supported nowadays?

I feel like I'm leaving a week long anxiety crisis. I wish I had done it sooner, but unfortunately I wasn't able to apply any tricks.

There is something to be said about slowing down, not only in online interactions and community, but in life in general. Fluff starts to disappear, meaning and substance start rising to the top, and what once felt like bombardment, begins to feel like clarity.
