I have a Gemini capsule as well as a gopherhole that run on separate servers, and I don't use a proxy. I like to keep the content on both the same, which is fairly easy to do for the most part as converting from gemtext to plaintext is very simple. The issue I have is with the gophermaps. In the past I have taken the links on my Gemini index pages and manually typed out the Gopher versions into gophermaps, but this is incredibly tedious to do. Is there some way to more easily and simply convert...

I'm excited to announce a new Gemini hosting service: Gemsync. Gemsync hosts capsules using Syncthing--no terminal or UNIX knowledge is required. I hope it will help to lower the barrier of entry to capsule hosting. More information is at the Gemsync home page. [gemini link] Gemsync

Few questions about Titan protocol: is any limitation for header size, like 1024 bytes for Gemini? the header filesize value should be calculated for the data sending or entire packet size (including headers)? and not sure about TLS wrapper - is this really by Titan (if I send data using identity certificate) [gemini link] Authentication & Authorisation

Is this okay that Titan protocol specification unavailable over HTTPs (with 404 code)? want make some reference on GitHub, but can open with Gemini only [gemini link]

Is that's safe to use same identity certificate for different services? Usually, asymmetric encryption means I share data signed with own private key + remote public key. Don't remember where exactly but saw the recommendation to use different certs for different hosts in Geminispace. Maybe that's because of privacy reasons only..

After first using Cyrillic text in replies, found that default 1024 bytes in header definitively not enough, especially, when part of these bytes taken by path and auth token there. Seems it's time to implement Titan protocol in my app, but finally I don't understand where is rational goal to limit headers if the server able to make own limitations when that's wanted..

More questions on gemtext parsing — I'm rewriting my gemtext parser and I've landed on questions that I decided to ignore the first time around, but now I really want to solve: 1. All lines beginning with the two characters "=>" are link lines, says the spec, but also is mandatory, so how do we handle a line that is simply "=>\r\n"? 2. What if is not a valid URL or it doesn't have reserved characters encoded? 3. Should single '\n' and '\r' characters be ignored, replaced by a...

Strict parsing of link lines — The spec reads All lines beginning with the two characters "=>" are link lines. but also... Link lines have the following syntax =>[][] where is any non-zero number of consecutive spaces or tabs So... is a line starting with "=>" but no following whitespace a link line or not? If not, what type of line is it?

Server best practices for routing and relative links — I'm writing a gemini server and ran into some gotchas when it comes to relative linking from within gemtext. The server will route gemini requests to paths on the filesystem. i.e. a url "index.gmi" would route to a file named "index.gmi" As a convenience, the server will also resolve requests that correspond to a directory on the filesystem iff the directory contains a file named "index.gmi" Let's say there's a file at the subpath ~subspace/...

TLS close-notify .... what were they thinking? — At least the new Gemini spec considers the case where servers choose to skip this step. How do you handle a missing close_notify in your clients?

Definitively can't pack entire documentation into my head: must server append content mime type to all 20 status codes? Or that is optional, and client should resolve content type by it extension (when not provided by server)

Have anybody experience with Glib sockets? Seems that API there does not provide any method to update user certificate (session ticket cached) in runtime. So I must restart GTK client to apply new certificate e.g. on path change. Found only one solution - force rehandshake request, that reset previous session cache and prevent resumption, but it's not useful with TLS 1.3 This subject bit harder that expected, also, usually socket clients assign certificate to some net address, not it path,...

I just made a really simple CGI personal todo list for Gemini. I also wrote a even simpler CGI applet that lets me keep track of meals I've eaten that I might want to make again sometime. I'm sharing these because 1) someone else might like to use my todo list and 2) Because they are so extremely simple they are a good reference for anyone new to Gemini or CGI trying to write their own applets.

Not sure I understand this line in specification: Clients SHOULD NOT close a connection by default, but MAY in case the content exceeds constraints set by the user. [https link] Why should I keep connection open (on client-side), even the page has been loaded? Maybe just to prevent double handshake only? Asking, because have some head pain with Rust implementation, where connection get dopped by last reference left the scope. So here simpler to open connection again, than hold and manage...

Streaming Audio using Gemini — How have people implemented audio streaming? I've been trying to implement this and running into lots of issues. Either the server sends audio to the client too quickly as if the client is loading a static file, or Lagrange won't play the audio at all. I am not sure how to debug this or what others have done.

no news about iana or ietf gemini uri scheme registration? [gemini link] [gemini link] i remember tham even diapora community regitered diaspora:// as standard, though it is not that necessary since diaspoca links are usually used in diaspora and diaspora software can handle it. but gemini links aren't even shown as links in gtk and everywhere. i wonder if registration will help with it.

Enhancing Gemini’s TOFU Model with Convergence: A Proposal for Decentralized, Collaborative Certificate Validation — The Gemini protocol’s minimalist, privacy-focused design is a refreshing alternative to the traditional, often bloated web. Its reliance on Trust on First Use (TOFU) brings much-needed decentralization and reduces dependence on Certificate Authorities (CAs). However, as Daniel Stenberg and others have pointed out, TOFU has inherent vulnerabilities. Specifically, it requires users...

Separate to my previous post about new server software, I'd like to sign up for some personal Gemini hosting for a gemlog and perhaps some smallish CGI toys. I've looked into various tildes and such and would welcome some input. The main priority would be ease of use (I don't have a lot of time to manage complicated setups these days). Being able to host interactive content is also a big plus, as mentioned; it would also be nice to have the gemini site be mirrored to HTTPS. Lately I've looked...

I definitely want to create a game in gemini, but to do that I'm going to have to install a new server. IIRC my current capsule is running agate because of its light footprint and ease of install, but it won't allow for interactive content; any ideas for a replacement?
