"My knowledge of Python and it's ecosystem is kind of like my knowledge of ffmpeg command line arguments. Every few years, for a period of a few days, I'm doing something complex and I ended up I self-teaching myself enough to be a Jedi, only to then immediately forget what I've learned, until the ignorance cycle repeats again in a year or two.

Fun read. Like a short version of "Hackers" by Steven Levy. Also, looks surprisingly good reading it in Gemini via my HTTP proxy since the source HTML is so clean.  http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/things-every-hacker-once-knew/

Any iOS developers out there? Specifically Swift (and SwuiftUI)? I'm thinking about building a mobile app and was looking for good tutorials/introductions to iOS development with Swift, for engineers without much native app experience.  While I think I'm a fair developer my background is in console apps, web apps, and APIs. Based on what I've read, it reminds me a bit of programming Windows apps in the mid 2000's (XAML for declaritive UI, event loops, components with event handlers, etc), however I'm pretty out of practice with that.  Any recommended resources to get into iOS development as an experienced dev?

@dimkr has been publishing about Guppy, a new smolnet protocol based on UDP. It's interesting for sure:  gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/guppy-v0.2.gmi  I posted some feedback on the spec based on writing a toy Guppy client and server.  gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2023-08-07-guppy-udp.gmi gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2023-08-08-more-guppy-feedback.gmi  TLDR: UDP makes things hard. Writing unambiguous protocols is also hard. Reading and commenting on the spec has been a fun experience though.

So there are more unique finger URL links in Geminispace   than unique Spartan URL links. (69 vs 46). 🤔. Perhaps I should be indexing finger 😂 The challenge is "crawling" finger since a human can tell when a response is just a list of user names to query but the diversity of responses makes that hard to program. Maybe I should feed it to a LLVM? "Hey ChatGPT this is the output of a finger response. What words are usernames?"

Spent some time adding new capabilities to Kennedy to help geminauts update and maintain their capsules. I actually built these while on week long beach vacation:  gemini://gemi.dev/images/beach.jpg  First is a Capsule Health Report, whic shows you URLs of broken or missing links and the pages that link to them. Just type in a domain.  Next is "Backlinks to Capsule" This should you all URLs on a capsule and all the URLs that link to them. Just type in a domain.  gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/

Based on @smokey's feedback, I added Simple English as a supported language in Gemipedia. I too find this makes complex subjects more readable and approachable:  Example: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/view/simple?Apollo+11  You can select the language here: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/lang

I just added @mozz's gemini archives from late 2020 into my Gemini Wayback machine, Delorean,.  It now has 2.7M captures from 710K URLs, across 2742 capsules. Thanks to deduping logic, the archive is only 43GB on disk. The oldest captures are from September 2020.  It's the best way to find and read old capsules that no longer exist:  gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/

You can see the improvement by looking at the history of gemlog.blue's user page in the Delorean time machine:  gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/history?gemini%3a%2f%2fgemlog.blue%2fusers%2f  ~33% of all accounts were spam  so the user list page dropped in size by 30KB between 2023-01-29 and 2023-03-20.

I used all the content from previous crawls by my search engine Kennedy to construct a searchable archive! It's just like the Internet Archive's Wayback machine, but for Gemini. 2 million+ URLs/versions, going back to Jan 2022.  Example: gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/cached?url=gemini%3a%2f%2fdrewdevault.com%2f&t=637898933801779424&raw=False  You can enter and exact URL, or just search for part of a URL, like searching for a domain name  gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/

So... The IANA MIME registry officially defines "+gzip" as a valid mime suffix.  So... gemini capsules *could* serve a "20 text/gemini+gzip" response for gemtext, it clients could know to gunzip it.  Now the client's request has no way to say it support this, but you could config the server with a super simple rewrite rule so that any .gmi file would use a text/gemini+gzip MIME type if the client requests it with an ".gmi.gz" extension. You could also rewrite the gemtext body on the fly so the same-site .gmi links are also .gmi.gz...  Is compression for Gemini (and specifically Gemtext) necessarily? No. But it woudl be fun to hack it into a client!
