Getting my pages on gemini://
Just a small public service announcement: If you’re using the Gemini protocol, my webste (well, in particular the blog posts), are now also accessible via Gemini at gemini://tilde.club/~gedankenstuecke/. You can also find a web-proxied version here.
If you have no clue what this means: Gemini is a small, alternative internet communications protocol browsing remote documents, similar Gopher. The “gemtext” format used is intentionally simple, allowing for headings, unsorted lists and links - no images, videos, or even custom stylings. Which makes it great for reading on basically all devices, all you need is a Gemini-client, of which there are many.
You’ll also see that it’s hosted on tilde.club, which brings back some of the early internet feeling. As per their description, “it is one tiny totally standard unix computer that people respectfully use together in their shared quest to build awesome web pages”. And not only web pages, but there’s all the little unix tools you’d expect. Plus, you can serve gemtext, so you don’t have to run your own gemini-server.
To semi-automate the whole process, I wrote a few lines of bash script to convert the markdown sources of my blog posts into gemtext, which I can then scp to ~. The next step will be automating this as part of the CI.
Happy old-school reading!
