apparently it's also important to delete the old records... and also that the new records are correct.

Installed a new home router, and I guess it decided to get us a new IP address, so my gemini capsule is down while the new A record propagates.

@zudn From a usability perspective, it's pretty bad too:
* starts with you deaf/mute (to try to scare people into using their phones to connect instead)
* browser version only allows you to see one person at a time (to get people to download the app so they can have more control)
* when screen sharing, it's hard to see all faces, takes over fullscreen on desktop
* phone app only shows 4 videos at once

today I added a script to my #gemini capsule to allow me to add to my /bookmarks.gmi file *using gemini*.

Seems like some of the browser experience could be done out in geminispace itself... less requirement for client authors, though that means more things "in the cloud".

or...
* edit text/write code with #micro
* change my #squeekboard layout
* browse gemini:// with #fossil
* listen to podcasts with #kasts
* try to use the fediverse through #tootle
* ssh into servers... really, I like the squeekboard+kgx experience better than florisboard+termux/android

. @wholesomedonut wants to see technology as it is: "a miraculous, marvelous invention whose original intents have long been uprooted by a society full of greed and indifference"

I hope you're able to get free from the vitriol and set your mind on higher things. (Unfollowing negative accounts helps, but maybe taking a break from the fediverse would be best).

starting to try to compile #organicMaps on a raspberry pi zero... it's armhf, so if the problem (running it on the pinephone) is architecture based, this will likely also fail.

@ChiaChatter I use links. It has a graphical version (links -g) which has a similar interface but can display pictures and different sized fonts (though few distributions package the graphical version).

Which got me thinking more about #usfm2gmi:
If I were to make a #bible gem-app, what feature options would be desired?
Would any of the following be useful, and how should they look in #gemtext?
* notes (currently in square brackets)
* cross-references (currently in parentheses)
* word references (I experimented once with putting Strong's references in superscript)
* red-lettering (ideologically, I disagree with this)
* section titles
* chapter divisions
* verse numbers

Wrote a little #awk script to create an outline of the #openEnglishBible gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/cgi-bin/oebindex.sh so you can navigate the bible without thinking about the verse and chapter numbers.

@pocketvj @linmob @Saroufim (notably, this is compilation with cmake and make... the phone crashes when I try to compile with ninja)

@pocketvj @linmob @Saroufim I have 3 times so far (with different versions of the code). It successfully compiles (after > 10 hours), but always segfaults after the license prompt.

@josias@theres.life The huge draw of the fediverse is the in-order timelines (I used to like instagram > 5 years ago), and, of course, the interactivity (I still use an RSS reader, but rarely comment on blogs b/c of JS reqs like CAPTCHA). Microblogging here makes it easy to comment, share projects that I do or like with others who share that interest.

What I don't like about mastodon is the public nature (not that you can't do privacy on the fedi, but it's not well suited to that).

Was reading #linbits by @linmob and feeling kind of left out, running #postmarketos 21.03, so I upgraded to master/edge. It broke phosh startup, but was fairly easy to fix by (plugging in a keyboard and) removing some unused packages and running `apk fix`.

@oppen @OCRbot

@ChiaChatter I can't visit your site anymore because your 'Antispam by CleanTalk' plugin falsely has marked my IP address (dig a funk.zachdecook.com) as spam.

@linmob @pocketvj @Saroufim The big difference between the linux (desktop) version and the android version is that it uses a side-bar instead of a bottom bar. There are also some UI elements which are clunkier than their android counterparts. And routing seems to be either broken or unusable (this was built from git tag 2021-06-20) #organicMaps
