2021-11-06 How to join Gemini space

I’m hungry, and my wife is hungry, but I want to write this page, and my wife is reading about mutations and genomes and what not, so we keep postponing it. It’s now 21:36.

If you’re interested in ​#Gemini, a (small) hypertext world outside the world wide web, there are a few options out there. The Transjovian Capsules is a project I host that works well with Emacs (you know me) and Lagrange (a Gemini client by @jk).

Here’s how you would get started:

• Transjovian Capsules (edit: no longer active 😢)

These instructions available on the web, of course, since there needs to be a way to cross over…

I’m still writing the documentation, so if you get stuck, mail me, and we’ll fix it, together. 🥳🚀🚀

​#Gemini ​#Emacs

I was taking screenshots of my phone and wondered how to bring down the file size for uploading. This is what I ended up doing (using fish).

for f in image*.png
    convert -strip -geometry 400 -quality 50% "$f" "small-"(basename "$f" .png)".jpg"
end

This turns files such as image2.png (397KiB) into small-image2.jpg (22K).

It feels strange to be writing on the Intetebi capsule, knowing that you can only read it via Gemini. Oh well.
