Hoping to find some more news about old Gemini projects like the Turn by Turn directions capsule that existed, Ham radio capsules, and just plain old tinkering. => /u/Queen_City_Nerd/16964 💬 View post · 4 likes · May 14 · 5 months ago => /s/Gemini 🌒 s/Gemini Why choose a v3 X.509 certificate for your capsule (and your website too) — X.509 is the standard format of public key certificates which are used, among other uses, in TLS. The format has 3 versions, each one adding functionality that the previous one lacked. While the most popular library for processing these certificates, OpenSSL, supports all versions, this is starting to not be the case anymore for other libraries.

The capsule's robots.txt file tells bots not to index my CGI scripts, but this crawler is ignoring the file and sending multiple requests per second against my scripts, which overloads the server and causes it to crash. I've temporarily solved the problem by blocking the crawler entirely; I'll look for a more permanent solution. => /u/jsreed5/16905 💬 3 comments · 3 likes · May 13 · 5 months ago => /u/skyjake 🕹️ skyjake [...] BBS Turns One: A Retrospective — BBS, née Geminispace.org, was launched exactly one year ago today. I figured it would be fitting to take a brief look at the past 12 months. Hopefully this is useful as an introduction to newcomers as well as something to reminisce about for those who have been here since the beginning. Before the launch, one thing that made me hesitate was that, as a father of two young children, my time and energy are rather limited when it comes to leisure activities, so is... => /u/skyjake/16845 💬 6 comments · 15 likes · May 13 · 5 months ago => /u/admin 🖥️ admin ⚠️ BBS email notifications have not been going out over the weekend. The issue has now been fixed and you should be receiving the delayed notifications as well as new ones.

After the first one is accepted, the second one results in a crashed cgi. I was not able to easily replicate it, so I opened two windows with the same certificate into "?select", and yup, same deal - pythony CGI crash It seems that your logic is not protected from out-of-sequence responses.

And uncompleted quests too! [preformatted] And if you've always wanted to delete your account, but were shy to ask, now you can do it! Delete account, i mean. There is menu item in "Options" page. But beware of the artful Lagrange, which remembers the association of the certificate with the authorization page.

How does a community of generally well-mannered people become a zoo full of vandals that requires hardcore policing, with automatic weapons? You could blame criminals and build higher walls and get bigger guns. But I think it is exactly the cause of enshitification. People inherently want to be a part of their community. We are social animals.
