#gemini folk, if you haven't seen it this is a community contributed directory of things on gemini. Fire up a client certificate and you can add links to your own capsule or your favorite capsules yourself. Or just visit and discover some things.

Bubble is essentially the core part of a site like reddit/kbin/lemmy/slashdot etc. in a lightweight protocol that is simple and immune to turning into ad-infested garbage due to the nature of gemini.

One big difference to kbin/lemmy though is that it isn't federated and probably won't be. Federation would greatly increase the complexity of the code and kind of go against the ethos of gemini. It IS possible, however, to run different instances of Bubble they just don't federate with each other. And depending how you feel about the privacy implications it would be possible to have a single "login" for any and all Bubble instances by using the same client certificate for each.

That plus the ability to subscribe to different subspaces via the gemini subscription spec you could also aggregate them by putting all your subspaces into an aggregator like comitium or a client etc.

Gemini wins again. :checkmark:

@kelbot yeah I agree. I'm not a user, so no horse in the race, but I do feel like a user subscribing to the various subspaces *potentially across multiple bubble instances* is more than suitable solution much within the gemini ethos

I was going to say heck yeah, you tell em Linus but uhh...why is kernel.org federating with poa.st in the first place?!

nytpu

@kelbot I think the kernel.org instance was set up as a side project by a Kernel dev where they probably just don't have active moderators. Or at least ones that keep up on random fediblock meta, probably just block stuff as they personally come across it

@kelbot I sure as fuck hope that they don't find out about my stash of Adobe CS3 and CS4 disks from the 2000s!

This is an interesting concept. A plaintext web that runs over SSH and a simple markup similar to gemtext.

@kelbot I'm thinking of starting a peertube channel for my retrogaming videos, what's a good instance for that?

⛧⛧⛧J.d.B.⛧⛧⛧

@kelbot Oh, thank you for the list. While I was watching some of the videos, I was thinking hey… this uses ActivityPub, right?

I can follow this from my own #akkoma instance, right?

Yep, so cool!

I think there's one underappreciated thing about Thinkpads and that is that they really look like computers. You just look at them and there's no mistaking it. Yep, that's a computer.

@kelbot i've had a couple of vehicles like this. you can't help but look at, say, a 1991 volvo 240, or an '87 buick century, and think "welp, that sure is car shaped".

ricardo :mastodon:

@kelbot Agreed. Proud owner of a T430s and an X220. Built like tanks, still on rotation.

A #wordle clone for PalmOS that has a mechanism for keeping the daily word in sync with the official wordle. It also tracks your stats.

It's a shame that nothing particularly cool has come out of that M5Paper device.

Andrew (R.S Admin)

@kelbot The timing on that one was real rough for me. I pull it out occasionally and look at it whistfully.

This absolutely fascinating. A "lost" and possibly accidental method of making a solar panel 40 years earlier than previously believed and significantly more sustainable to build as well as totally recyclable.

@kelbot yo that's so cool. I swear I've had the "could you make a metal-semiconductor solar panel" thought before

c+aue
@kelbot absolutely fascinating stands as a huge understatement.

i will have to read it more later on, as i see it a very long and dense read...

but coming from someone who witnessed the boccara.org, this stuns me nearly as much as! 👽🥰

Product Idea: UPS for electronics that has a handful of 12V barrel jacks and USB ports with a rack of 18650 holders that you populate yourself.
