When I was a teen some of the girls I knew had such big lady boners for the main cast of supernatural ad sherlock Holmes. I never understood why.
Going by the Venn diagram, ive now come to the conclusion that theres something about homoerotic baiting between two grizzled depressed dad archetypes that really fires the neurons and gets the hormones going for some ladies.
have to remember that expression
Playing Dwarf Fortress will help with that!
Similar story here! A couple years ago learning about Gemini/gopher/smallnet from mentaloutlaw videos. So I joined a public access Unix server (first SDF later tilde.team) and learned how to write my own capsule site for a few years. Learned some basic .CGI bin and awk processing to create a gemtext to epub converter that made small ebooks of daily post in atom feed. It was like training wheels really helped prepare me for the transition to full self hosting capsule and website
Thanks for sharing! It was a good read. They have good points for security and clarity revisions.
A lot of Gemini spec choices were made to dissuade feature creep. Youre probably never going to do banking through Gemini but its also pretty much gaurenteed you’ll never need adblock either.
Gemini is appealing from the perspective of novice self hosters. Its simple enough that most people can set up a simple server and publish on their site within a few hours. Its minimality enforces maximizing the most reading content for least bits used. 95% of modern webpages isnt even for reading or reference its all back end trackers and scripts and fancy CSS. Newswaffle shows just how bad it is.
When I read through a gemtext capsule I get the impression I’m looking at something that was distilled into its most essential. No popups no adds no inline images or tracking scripts or complex page layouts. My computer connects to the server, I get back a page of text or an image of a zip file. Once and done.
Im a hobbiest who just learned how to self host my own static website on a spare laptop over the summer. I went with what I knew and was comfortable with which is a fresh install of linux and installing from the apt package manager.
As im getting more serious im starting to take another look at docker. Unforunately my OS package manager only has old outdated versions of docker I may need to reinstall with like ubuntu/debian LTS server something with more cutting edge software in repo. I don’t care much for building from scratch and navigating dependency roulette.
Theres been at least 5 rapture days since ive been alive. Cult members REALLY like the idea that they’re super special moral beings with Gods favor. For some reason people get off on the idea everyone they don’t like or isn’t part of their tribe gets locked out of ‘paradise’ or better yet actively burns in hell forever. This vengenance fantasy extends to the idea of rapture where God personally singles them out as a favored one for heavenly ascension or whatever. I guess theres something appealing about this concept that really resonates with the kind of people who drink the coolaid, they just can’t let go and take the L. So we see the same story every 10 years or so a cult leader predicts the end of the world all their followers give up life savings destroy their life then when the day passes they quietly sweep it under the rug pretend it never happened to save themselves embarrassment.
Almost certainly the lion, this isn’t an anime where a knight can just casually bisect a 800lbs raging bag of muscle with the flick of their wrist and a marketing beam energy swipe. The lion would absolutely knock down, crush, and maul even if it couldn’t penetrate armor right away. Like, id give it a 1/50 chance of striking a lucky blow as the lion plunges or if you’re smart you might be able to come out alive by going limp and playing dead.
On a related note, Ive always wanted to try shoving a sim card in my Linux laptop and use a voIP phone line with jmp or something.
I wrote my own set of tools in python that convert a simple gemtext formatted .gmi file into a static HTML file thats served by apache.
I’m a big fan of the Gemini Protocol project and found that handwriting pages in gemtext was ideal for focusing on text content and not worrying about formatting. Converting it to HTML+CSS with some scripts is pretty easy.
If anyone’s interested I can give a link, currently just hosting source locally on my website, really should get a public github running.

They haven’t really unless you count the post-dbza content with the shorts and the streaming. Hellsing ultimate abridged was made along side DBZA timeline wise about the time Twilight was still popular.
Hellsing Abridged from TFS, classic. If you’re gonna watch it you should do it on twitch since they used a copyrighted song for an epic sync that happens in one of the later episodes that got muted on youtube. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/294882536?collection=Y4Lf2g4TSRXQGQ
