Gemini capsule

Gemini is a lightweight Internet protocol. It's heavier than Gopher but lighter than HTTP(S), especially if combined with all other web technologies. The name makes sense if Gopher is Project Mercury and the web is the Apollo program.

One of its uses is to serve gemtext, which is a lightweight Markdown-like markup language, instead of HTML. Gemini browsers don't have support for neither Javascript, nor CSS, nor any of the other new web technologies. It can be beautiful anyway, see for instance Lagrange.

I now run a small Gemini server. My Gemini capsule is on:

gemini://gem.hack.org/mc/

It's on v6 only, demands strict TLS 1.3 and uses a self-signed ed25519 cert. I find it a bit funny to use something so modern(ish) for something so retro.

I have a gemlog (weblog, but not) here:

gemini://gem.hack.org/mc/log/

It's formed in the gmisub style so some Gemini feed readers should be able to use it.
