How hard could it be to add support for #GeminiProtocol to #curl?

One Small Step into GeminispaceAround this time last year I decided to dig out a #Gopher hole for myself. Without much else to offer, I figured my best bet for content would be a phlog built from a copy of my blog posts here on my #snac server, so I threw together a shell script to periodically grab my posts and export them as a Gopher tree. It was crude, but it's been working well. When I first announced it, several people asked if I had any plans to make a #GeminiProtocol capsule. I wasn't really considering it at the time since I felt like I was accomplishing all I wanted to do with Gopher, but now I've decided I want to give it a shot. I installed Solderpunk's Molly Brown server (which I chose because it was the only one in Debian's repo) and, after much struggle with cert permissions, got it up and running. For content, I went with the same thing as with Gopher: a gemlog powered by a snac-to-Gemini exporter. snac uses Markdown for formatting, which is of course very similar to Gemtext. I went back and edited my earlier blog posts to make them more Gemtext-like, which mostly meant adding header lines. The only real complication was inline links: I would need to strip them out of the Markdown source. Since I'm doing this all with shell scripts (as opposed to something like Python that'd probably work better), an actual Markdown parser wasn't really an option, so I decided to do it with a regex. The thing is, I'm not very good at writing regexes. After many, many fruitless searches trying to find an existing solution I came across a bash script that did what I wanted. The script itself was obvious vibe-coded filth, but it did contain a sed -E command that did exactly what I needed. The exporter is a comically-inept hackjob and has a backslash-itis problem (which I imagine is coming from the JSON parser I'm using) but it does, somehow, work. Some day I'll see about redoing the whole thing in Python, but for now it's good enough. Take a look if you're interested: gemini://gemini.n8fq.org #blog

Uhh? WTF? My #geminiprotocol blog is served using agate. And it seems that the latest post delivery a "not found" - although the gmi file is most definitely present on disk. ?????

¿Les conté que agregué un feed rss a mi cápsula gemini en el tilde undernet? No se preocupen, ahí dentro (gemini://undernet.uy/~daniel) tienen también como configurar newsboat para estar al día. https://cellsinspace.neocities.org/daniel.rss #rss #undernet #geminiprotocol #geminispace #smolweb #Uruguay #tilde #espanol #newsboat

I need to sit down and think through how I want to do a blog. I want it to be:

  1. #Obsidian based so that I can just update Obsidian to update my blog
  2. Spit out content to a #GeminiProtocol version of the blog

I think I just need to sit down with the idea and burp it.

I feel like I already have a bazillion ideas for blog posts.

Working on a little tool for fetching pages on the smolnet https://codeberg.org/liberty/snurl/ It currently supports Gopher, Spartan, and Finger, with Gemini in the works. #geminiprotocol #smolnet #gopher

HTML used to (mostly) be a format for reading and writing documents. As time went on, it got changed to an application format. These 2 use-cases (doc vs app) are at odds. One of the motivations in the small-net / small-web space is to take HTML back to its document format roots. Although some have have chosen to use alternative document formats such as Gemini's and Mercury's GemText. @talon@dragonscave.space RE: https://dragonscave.space/@talon/116456716105999739 #GeminiProtocol #MercuryProtocol #SmallNet #SmallWeb #SmolNet #SmolWeb

New entry in my #personalblog - Gemini Takes Flight I'm a big fan of Gemini (not the chat bot). I lurk in BBS, I read news on a Guardian mirror, and I check aggregators for new and interesting gemlog entries. Now that I've got both my sites mirrored on there, I thought I'd write a little post about it. #geminiprotocol - gemini://antonyfb.com/blog/gemini-takes-flight.gmi #personalwebsite - https://antonyfb.com/blog/gemini-takes-flight.html #SmallWeb #indieweb

Finally getting around to converting all my blog posts to gemtext so I can have my personal site on the #geminiprotocol – not quite done yet, but I hope to have it deployed by end of next week.
