@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Thanks to a cosmic user, khuxkm, the Cosmic Voyage gemini server is now running
Cosmic was originally built as a system on gopher and as such its content is primarily authored in text files designed to be served on that platform. This is one of the reasons we have hard-breaking preformatted lines.
Shortly after launch I was asked to add a web version of the site. I wrote a cron-job that ran through the gemini content and transformed it into HTML with some wrappers for styling. This is how things worked for the first two years. Eventually Gemini was established and I did the same thing for that platform. Voyagers would author the content which would immediately publish to gopher. Then a cron-job would fire every hour or so and completely rebuild the web and gemini versions. Oh, and RSS and Atom feeds too! It ... wasn't great.

A few months ago I scrapped the web script. It had become unreasonably complex and took serious time to compute. There was also a bit of downtime as the site rebuilt. I did some caching nonsense to patch it, but it was all just delaying the eventually rebuild. The web version is now a proxy that pulls content from the gopher folder and recreates the indexes and such on the fly. It's done in node and it works quite well.

# Why Gemini Video
You may remember my previous video "What is Gemini?" that I released back in June of 2020. Well, a few days ago I recorded another video on Gemini. This one is titled "Why Gemini?" and seeks to answer that question. I cover the reasons people may want to use it as an alternative choice to gopher and http and some of the new features that stand alone on its own. The video finishes by examining a few reasons Gemini might not be the right choice.
Have a watch, leave a comment there on Youtube or write me your response thoughts on Gemini. Are there things I left out that you want to add? Did I say something wrong on the internet and you feel the need to chasten me? Did you get Gemini working on an NES? Hit me up!
