@in_stance - which way did you end up going. · 1 month ago

@devoid, I do not mind at all. I like to tinker. I like to learn in a place where my own mistakes could only cost me time. I am not opposed to using options like sourcehut, but feel like that limits my options. · 1 month ago

@in_stance, hope you don't mind me asking, but why self-host? · 1 month ago

I think you don't need to create your own host from scratch to oversee and operate a blog. A standard blog, with a little knowledge of code marking in GemText, is enough. Why do you need CGI? Unless there's an operation you want to use as a project to test and share, for other users to enjoy as something useful. Why not visit Gemini Noulin's page? He talks a lot about how to create CGI files and other things. If not, type in kennedy, "project cgi" or just "cgi", many gemini capsule users describe their cgi projects and the process of creating that, chat with them via their guestbook, or email. · 1 month ago

find & visit my portal treasure.. typed "maskuga treasure" at kennedy or tlgs search. btw most of the cool programmers in gemini and gopher, nowadays, they are good at making coding & CGI path to make useful tools for all users, such as, Clock time, News Timeline, weather, search engine gate proxy, searchbox query, search book like gutenberg, talk ai chat gpt, feed atom socialmedia, dictionary, ascii generator, meme generator, cool text generator, calculator, solar calculation, moon phase, and all mini games, quote random, guestbook, chat text board, anonymous forum board. so what cgi do you want to make on your page? :) you must have programmer skill · 1 month ago

@cyberwalker, in the words of Stanley Goodspeed in the movie The Rock.

"Okay. What does that mean?"

All joking aside, you gonna follow my "work" here? I am just being playful and hoping to make conversation. Take care. · 1 month ago
