-i launched my own gemini capsule, yay!
-
-it is available on the same domain, just type `gemini://aaoth.xyz` in your
-favourite gemini client.
-

-
-for those of you that don't know, gemini is a relatively new internet protocol.
-it is already gained popularity among some enthusiasts out there.
-
-it is intended to be simple and lightweight, it's just plaintext. and the whole
-specification is so simple that usable server and/or client for it could be
-written within about 100 lines of code.
-

-## about quirks and vger
-
-firstly i looked through the list of gemini servers on gemini website.
-and one particular server there attracted me. it was `vger`.
-it is saying that it is secure and openbsd-centric.
-
-so i tried installing it. it is even packaged for openbsd, which was pretty
-convenient, even though i don't mind building stuff from source.
-especially if it is not a big bloated thing.
-
-and surprisingly the configuration was **so** simple, that i even hadn't
-realized it for a first couple of minutes.
-but then i wanted to launch some fancy cgi things, such as, for example,
-gemlikes. it is providing simple like and comment system for a blog.
-
-and there vger failed me. maybe it is me failed myself, but i tried all
-possible configuration options. i think, for now vger is not capable of
-running cgi scripts for some parts of the capsule.
-
-in other words, i'm talking about this.
-consider some capsule with tld `gemini://example.com`.
-it serves some static pages on `gemini://example.com/blog/*` and
-`gemini://example.com/about.gmi`.
-gemlikes need three binaries and a `gemlikes.toml` config file.
-they suggest placing them in `/cgi-bin/gemlikes/`.
-i placed them there, but i couldn't make it so it is how it needs to be.
-my vger is serving only cgi or only static pages.
-
-## another try
-
-so i looked though a list again, and found `gmid` there. it seemed like
-a good option too, because it's written in c and openbsd-aware too.
-
-and this was nice expirience, because gmid's config file is very
-similar to other openbsd's tool configs, such as relayd or httpd.
-the only peculiarity with gmid is that it's not yet packaged for
-openbsd, so i had to compile it manually. and also i created the daemon
-script for it in rc.d(8).
-
-here it is, if you need it:
-
-/etc/rc.d/gmid
-```sh
-#!/bin/ksh
-
-daemon="/usr/local/bin/gmid"
-daemon_flags="-c /etc/gmid.conf"
-
-. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
-
-rc_pre() {
-    ${rcexec} "${daemon} -n ${daemon_flags}"
-}
-
-rc_cmd $1
-```
-
-and of course, my config is in `/etc/gmid.conf`. manpage of gmid contains
-very good descriptions of all the options available.
-
-## thoughts about geminispace
-
-my first impressions of gemini were a little odd. it's a little bit hard
-to read just text, when you are used to graphically overwhelming
-flashing websites with pictures and interactive stuff.
-but after a little bit of time comes the appretiation of the beauty
-of the pure text. 
-
-i can see gemini as a perfect place to host some informative resources,
-personal blogs and also for creative writing.
-and especially the latter, because it is so easy to spin up your own
-instance, i can see at as a great option for writers out there to
-host their content.
