I've had a lot of fun with this recently. One of my favourite gemini sites is this [1] page where a guy is hosting music that he's made over the years. [1] gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space:1965/~sloum/ The pla

I have recently been enjoying exploring gemini [1] - a new gopher-like web protocol that has been mentioned a couple of times in recent days here on HN. There's not a great deal of content at the moment, but that which does exist does

This line galled me too as it showed a serious misunderstanding of the principles of libre software. There's a reason we say Free as in Free Speech, not Free Beer! Why would I ever want to make my workflow dependant on a third party bl

I'm a CS student in the UK and one of my favorite parts of my university is its library. I will sometimes go in there between lectures, just to browse the shelves aimlessly and enjoy the peace and quiet. In the past I have found myself
