The BSD Cafe Journal<p><strong>A Self-hosted, BSD-native Gemini Protocol Server Stack</strong></p> <p>For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use.

Bluedepth<p>That took way too long. I found a rather gnarly bug in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a>. I have a personal vault, my name with "Vault" at the end. I had been syncing it with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SyncThing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SyncThing</span></a> and ran into a situation where my vault on my iPhone would load in the Obsidian app, it would build the index, and then 3/4 of the way through, crap out, jettison the app, restart app, and tight cycle stuck trying to rebuild the index, endlessly. I thought it was media files, audio, PDF, big files, strange files. No. (1/2)</p>
