I wrote a 15 line Python server behind STunnel and xinetd for Gemini; I love the protocol, and where I felt a lot of the Gopher world seemed to venerate the old, I think Gemini really is a great, low-fat, content oriented protocol and community. Come join the fun! If you want to connect now: Web Portal: https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/ https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/ Clients: https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/software/ https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/softw... I'm in the process of writing a Tcl graphical client, to let folks hack their browser as if it were a running lisp process. For day-to-day browsing, I'm mostly using Elpher right now, which is an emacs Gemini and Gopher client written in Elisp, and is fantastic. I'm at gemini://acidic.website/

I understand why acidic, thanks to your explanation, but why website, when you don't have a website? (I also like acidic food sometimes. I'm not sure if I like acidic coffee; so far, the only coffee I have successfully consumed is espresso without milk, water or sugar and some is surely better than others. I was certainly surprised to discover that plain espresso is actually better than adding milk, water or sugar.) Is there a way to actually reply within Gemini? I could set up my own server, I guess, but you would never know I had.

  > I understand why acidic, thanks to your explanation, but why website, when you don't have a website? Because the domain was incredibly cheap, and I may eventually host some HTTP content there as well, but I'm not sure. The main reason was just the price heh. > Is there a way to actually reply within Gemini? I could set up my own server, I guess, but you would never know I had. Nope, no comments. You could email me, of course, but I'm thinking of setting up an ActivityPub server on the box so folks can message me if they're interested.
