Blog now on Gemini - with DN42
The Gemini protocol is a minimal protocol to serve content, and is the “spiritual successor” to the Gopher protocol. (Do not confuse with Google’s AI Gemini. I hate naming collissions),
It took some tinkering, especially because Gemini’s markup language (“Gemtext”) is deliberately minimal, and Jekyll can’t output/convert Markdown to Gemini, so I had to take “the ugly route” to convert the “finished” Jekyll HTML page to Gemtext via the below-mentioned tool, which basically does HTML > Markdown > Gemtext. I can’t directly use the raw Markdown files of my blog, since I use Liquid tags.
Anyway, my blog is now accessible in “Geminispace”, alas, only within DN42, because I’m too lazy right now to do it properly. (With the DN42 namespace isolation and all). And also, it’s a really “nerdy” protocol, with I don’t know how many users.

Addendum: What I really like is the “feed” specification, which basically consists
of separate lines of
=> $link $date $heading
,
and browsers like
Lagrange can subscribe
to these (like RSS feeds, but the format is much simpler!).
