02:58 schestowitz; Hi,
02:58 schestowitz; I've just taken a look. This boils down to a buddy Drupal extension, which isn't just old but does not know how to deal with gemini protocol. The good news is, we'll be retiring the Drupal site (a year ago we already made a replacement), so no more links such as these will exist. Patching software for something we're already deprecating would be a lot of work.
