Gemini Articles of Interest

A Gemini client^* is needed for the following links.

• Technology and Free Software

  • segfault.net (no relation to SegFault my IRC bot)

    x86 hasn't really been something people target anymore for at least a few years now, but I've been using a netbook as my server for the last couple years. I've been wanting to run stable veilid toys for public use, but have only been able to run veilid-server on my desktop because of the 64-bitterness. First step is to get rust to target i686 from my x86_64 desktop.

    • AuraGem Relaunch, New Domain, and New Cert

      Welcome to the AuraGem website! I am relaunching it with some updates, a new domain, and a new cert. AuraGem is now hosted at auragem.letz.dev.

      I had started this server over 2 years ago when it was originally called Ponix (at the url pon.ix.tc). I then rewrote some of the code into what is now AuraGem in around 2021-2022. However, AuraGem went offline again in 2022 due to my domain expiring. I did not have the financial means or the time to get a new domain.

      However, I have decided a few days ago to spend the time getting a new domain from FreeDNS and setting the server back up again. This time, I have a free domain and set the certificate's expiration to far in the future, so there shouldn't be any more shutting down of this capsule.

    • RE: Compendiums

      Solderpunk has recently announced his idea for a Smol Earth Compendium, and has created a capsule for it.

      [...]

      I think it is a great idea to have manually curated compendiums based on narrower topics than what's available on aggregators and directories, and I hope more compendiums like this prop up! I have added a link to Solderpunk's Compendium to AuraGem's Search page.
