I wrote a new blog post, about accidentally re-writing my static site generator for #gopher and #gemini (and HTTP/HTML)

I needed to share a video quickly, and ended up using the actual youtube app to cast it to a tv.

There was an advert for google's password manager, tied to your google account.

Made me think of that game developer who got locked out of his google account, and everyone else who has the same.

Now you can add "literally every other account on the internet and possibly even your bank" to the list of things you get locked out of if your google account is blocked.

Everyone, Please welcome @F4gbx !

Is it possible to link from #gopher to #gemini (and http I guess)?
How do I format the menu items in my gophermap?

This doesn't seem to work...

1View via Gemini gemini://{{hostname}}
hView via HTTP https://{{hostname}}

ok, the magic incantation seems to be

sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.yourdomaingoeshere.example

I have been using a wildcard let's encrypt certificate for a real domain I own for infernal stuff on my network for long enough that it's expired.

Now I can't work out how to renew it!

Certain I used DNS and manually set the text record on the real web to validate it before (record is still there) but I cannot work out the desired incantation to renew it and certbot doesn't seem to think it can do DNS.

💩

#wsjt-x now REQUIRES you have en-us locale configured.

This sucks, I don't speak us English, I speak gb English.
Also the error doesn't say anything useful, just a locale isn't working.

also also
"This locale is needed for the new diagnostic logging facility to convert wide character strings to a suitable 8-bit encoding in log files."
Really, that needs US specific language and wouldn't work with GB English, or French, or Arabic?

is there a combined name for #gopher and #gemini ?
Like Oxbridge (Oxford + Cambridge) ?
Or is there a term for not-the-web ?

e.g. is a site is available on both you could say it is available via <term> ?

I don't know how long this will work for (will the file get re-created?) but it seems to work for now?
