Like oatmeal I suppose

Bitcoin drops below $20,000, Ether cracks $1,000 — what this means in c/[email protected]

"It’s a huge Rube Goldberg machine slapstick custard pie clown car, where each custard pie triggers three more custard pies. A clown’s tie pops up, causing three other clowns’ ties to pop up. Several tons of organic cow manure fall from above. The clowns stick their heads up out of the poop, proclaiming how clean they are and what a mess everyone else is."

Love the imagery.

I'm assuming these are all on one strip. Is the analog on the right a separate channel, or there to determine loudness or timing? Not sure how the analog translates to actual sound.

I haven't looked at the software but I instantly thought of the fifth element

How did you find out about Lemmy? in c/[email protected]

Mastodon. Privacytools.io instance when it still existed.

GrapheneOS on a pixel 4 here. Works great. Most apps from fdroid

Man, this drama keeps on going. Just when I thought it was dead. Funny thing is, I'm only on Lemmy because I found mastodon on privacytools site.

I've been delving into Gemini protocol and gopher quite a bit lately and came across a good historical dig about gopher by ~szczezuja and wanted to find more. Love to hear what it was used for and the community it had, especially in the 90s. I feel the community is different these days. Source on gopher: gopher://sdf.org:70/1/users/szczezuja/novice

How to build a Gemini application (youtu.be)

Another video by tomasino that covers basic setup with client cert authentication.

I had to modify a bit for SCGI usage but generally works the same.

Tomasino posted a couple more videos. This one helped me understand basic user inputs.

SCGI (lemmy.ml)
 

It took me a while but I figured out SCGI for molly-brown. This page helped quite a bit: //gemini.bunburya.eu/gemlog/posts/2021-04-07-dynamic-content-scgi-gemini.gmi

Now to implement something.

Side note, I've been spending quite a bit of time there...it's nice.

Privacy respecting domain registrar / host? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I did a quick Lemmy search and didn't find much. Are there any suggested domain registrars that aren't evil? I'm mostly looking for domain name and not hosting right now but won't exclude them. This would be my first domain so I'm new.

I saw njalla, banhof, and 1984 web hosting. Are these good, or any other suggestions?

Edit: DDNS would be a plus

Highly suggest looking at this if you are interested in using Gemini (protocol) on Android. Very polished, seemingly feature complete. With Ariane gone, might be your best bet - Deedum is good but this has it beat.

Pre-release for Lagrange on fdroid.

Just got it and looks slick.

Deedum client certificate (lemmy.ml)
 

I saw a guide on making a client certificate but I'm not sure how to get this to deedum. Simply copy paste the text of the generated keys? Can this be done on android?

Tox Chat (tox.chat)
 

I've seen a lot of talk about privacy minded chat clients on here but a search did not bring up Tox. I have been delving into the Gemini protocol ( https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) and a few folks there have listed Tox for contact. Anyone have thoughts on this?

It's encrypted, peer to peer, FOSS, and requires no signup.

Brown paper bag lunches used to be common but you rarely see them anymore (where I'm from) despite the phrase "brown bagging it today" (or something similar) still being used.
