as much as dopamine reward loops are toxic..
sometimes likes make people feel seen or recognized.

Protective Measures Gemlikes has some protections in place to prevent abuse or impersonation of the comment and liking system. Note that a server admin can make comments and likes say anything they want though.

  • An ID is generated based on the commenter's IP address to prevent impersonation by other commenters It's displayed right beside their username, as can be seen above
  • Usernames cannot be reused on a single page by different IP addresses
  • An IP address cannot make more than 5 comments on a page by default, although this is configurable in the gemlikes.toml file
  • The same IP address cannot like a file more than one time
  • Only files in the directories specified in gemlikes.toml can be like and commented on - Trying to reference files that don't exist will give an error

When I started with Gemini about a week ago, I was in a state of confusion. Here is a small curated list of my bookmarks, that hopefully someone will get use of..

A new eBook format based on Gemini Protocol's Gemtext. Gempub can also serve as a Gemini capsule archive format.

Web hosting is my tech weakness, despite how easy gemini is.

I'm having trouble in getting any script to run. I've set my configuration file correctly following the readme, with DocBase set as root/ (everything is under gemini/) and CGIPaths to [root/cgi-bin].

The script is a simple python hello world print along with the 20 text/gemini\r\n header printing before. However, navigating to the file just outputs the contents of the script and doesn't actually run it. I'm not sure if I'm somehow setting CGIPath incorrectly and if anyone else has used the software for dynamic content.

Port 1965 is only going to one place, so how can I make sure it's going to the right place?

I currently have agate running on a raspberry pi with Arch Linux Arm running agate for the first site.

im running my capsule on rpi with agate , and i'd like to make it subsribers friendly :) any help is welcome !

The 'gemini universal search' hasn't been updated since December.

Post your new/ updated Gemini sites.

Way back in the 90s I discovered gopher. It was magical, like some difficult to navigate, decaying place hidden from a web going corporate even back then. The problem I had with it was I couldn't find anything of use.

Now, looking at gemini, I get the same vibe. It has the same magical promise.

What do you use gemini for? For information or just browsing around? Do you want to create a blog or other content? Why in gemini and not on the web?

Download from Google Play

(Inclusion in F-Droid is pending review.)

Xenia allows you to browse Gemini using the same browser you normally use.

A command line application to convert HTML to GMI (Gemini text/gemini). Turns HTML into text/gemini to be served over gemini, or incorporated into a client.

easy, interpolated server-side scripting for Gemini. Bliz is an extension to text files to allow interpolated shell scripting - in this case, the fish shell. Of course, the shell can call any other program to embed content from.
Some use cases of dynamic content and server-side scripting:

  • Display constantly changing infomation like the time of day, lunar cycle, or weather forecast.
  • Automatically maintained back/forward navigation between dated blog posts.
  • Embedded word count for articles, calculated in real-time from the file itself.
  • Toys and games, potentially?

example:
https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/bliz/tree/main/serve/scripting.bliz

what ideas can we come up with for hosting small sites, services, etc.

the freedom to create your own space is very open ended. and people who would have shared are already sharing. what new opportunity can be invented? specifically ones that are not restricted from gemini limitations and possibly benefit from being light weight.

inspirational sites:
weather report
reddit and ycomb aggregator
various links collections

ideas:

  • gemini information and guides.
  • selected links to other gemini sites
  • a small lighweight community news service.
  • a raw feed/aggregation of content. starting with good sources and heavy filtering until the raw stream is shown. a small window of content is shown and updates frequently.
  • meme links
  • general news (aggregated or curated). specialized news: ex. self hosting news.
  • aggregation of content on lesser known sites or lesser known individuals. boosting.
  • self hosting resources and related dev resources.
  • any information useful to things you want to promote. example: linux or gentoo/arch.
  • code snippets
  • request for info. responses should be posted on an agreed platform.
  • general wishlist.
  • opinion after reading something online.
  • links to fun content that you don't want to post somewhere else.
  • a map of all your accounts across the internet for promotion purposes if you don't mind the privacy loss.
  • degoogle or decentralize promotion/propaganda. unique resources for noobs and also like-minded individuals.
  • privacy tips.
  • venting/rants for like-minded individuals.
  • quality links. bestof

a single page that shows all the site's pages and which ones have been updated recently. this ensures that users always know where to go when they come back.
