I’ve been sketching out some gemini-specific offline social stuff here https://ix.cyb.red/wiki/pikabu, but for the online parts i’d be willing to adopt what tw.txt protocols work under the constraints of gemini

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i’m publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i’m using, so that counts enough for now) and i’d like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don’t have anything that really works running rn.

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🥸

Pinellas Trail Challenge: 36.30 miles, 00:14:47 average pace, 08:56:28 duration
DNF’d, but had a great time. i could have walked it out the last ten miles and still make the cut-off but after doing the math i would not have been done until about 1900 and we have guests visiting from out of time and i did not want to be even more of a wreck while entertaining. met a lot of great people and happy for the challenge.
