Satellite Antenna I have set up a new instance of Antenna sync'd to @mk270 's instance (at ucant.org) to enable a kind of "federation" and redundancy. Posts to mk270's instance will show up at the top of the hour on Satellite Antenna. gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/gemlog/20260412-satellite-antenna.gmi gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/satellite-antenna/ Satellite Antenna

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.

For those who play Farkle or 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

Putting out a plug for the Alhena browser - I really like it. I still daily drive Lagrange, but this one is right up there in my opinion. Desktop-only but that's okay with me. The developer has put in a lot of work (@bluesman). You can make the theme blue/black like Lagrange if you'd like. Check it out! gemini://ultimatumlabs.com/alhena.gmi

for the new folks interested in self hosting a capsule, I made a HOWTO a while back that I occasionally post as newcomers arrive. I hope you find it helpful. gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/HOWTO/managing-your-own-capsule.gmi

just my occasional plug for DSN Antenna, a tech-free gemlog aggregator that's a clone of Antenna. post direct or via the BBS interface

I know there are different bathroom routines in the world, https://travel.alot.com/travel-tips/41-foreign-bathroom-rules-every-traveler-should-know--11093 But for those who use toilet paper, I don't understand the folks who stand up to wipe.

any racquetball fans in here? I just played my ass off for an hour and a half against a really good player and finally took a game. Best cardio high I've ever had is from playing this game. great for mental and overall health as well. "Over the course of the study's nine years, those who regularly played racket sports were 47% less likely to die of any cause and 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular disease." https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/racket-sports-serve-up-health-benefits-2017060911780

Farkle newest features: Added: weekly high score that resets after Sundays Updated: ties for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place should now give points to everyone, e.g., if you tied for 3rd you'll get 1 point, even if the database pushed you out of the top three when sorting in descending order Note: I'll try and keep an eye on the tournament scoring for a couple days to make sure it's still functioning correctly gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/farkle/

Nice name @reillypascal - do you code in pascal, perhaps?

At skyjake's suggestion, I've implemented a "tournament" style ranking system for my gemini implementation of the dice game Farkle. At the end of each day, the top 3 finishers will get points towards their monthly total: 1st: 5 points 2nd: 3 points 3rd: 1 point After the last game of the month the results will be archived in the log and the monthly standings will be reset. If all goes well, we'll have our first archived month on Wednesday. gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/farkle/

Argylle on Apple is a laughably bad movie. I watched it all just because I had to know. literally laughed at plot turns at the end.

I need to make a shirt that says "No, I don't want to sign up for your data-sucking rewards program. Stop asking me" maybe something shorter. but that's the gist.

I started a hobby project in Python and then became interested in (free) Pascal, so now half of it is written in that. I'm surprised how much I enjoy it, to be honest. It's an old (but seemingly fast) language, but I think that's part of the draw. Might just rewrite the whole thing in Pascal for the heck of it.

Does anyone use Buran for Android to browse Gemini? trying to figure out how to load a client certificate. I've got the PEM from Lagrange and tried to convert to pkcs #12 but it doesn't seem to work.

Interesting that deedum and elaho on iOS don't have user cert support. deedum on Android does. seems Lagrange is the only client I know of on iOS with client cert support, unless I'm missing something.
