This is my new Gemini capsule.

I recently discovered Gemini, which is a sort of re-imagining of the World Wide Web with a deliberate emphasis on simplicity and efficiency, and without a lot of the problems we've gotten used to on the modern web. It's kind of a back-to-basics approach, while still being built with security at its core.

I thought it sounded like a pretty neat idea, and the more I dug into it the more excited I became. So here we are: I've deployed a self-hosted Capsule (Gemini speak for "website") that I intend to use for posting a Gemlog (Gemini for "blog") as well as a basic profile page in Geminispace (Gemini for "the web").

And, through the magic of a kineto proxy, this Capsule is also available on the traditional web. If you visit `gemini://capsule.jbowdre.lol`, you'll get the Gemini representation; visit `https://capsule.jbowdre.lol` and you'll see a version translated for your <ahem> legacy browser. Kineto will also proxy any other Gemini Capsules that I link. Pretty slick, right?

This will likely replace my "Scribbles 'n Bits" blog, and I've already ported over most of that content. I do _really_ like the Scribbles platform, but I like the idea of cross-posting to both Gemini and the standard web more. I give up the polished look, slick styling, and easy web-based posting, but I feel like self-hosting this Capsule gives me more control and ownership over my content.

Along the way, I also found a way to leverage Hugo's custom output formats to build my runtimeterror site for Gemini without needing extra tooling. I'm *not* going to shift that site to favor Gemini beyond that (those technical posts can really benefit from the additional markup which isn't supported on Gemini).

I'll be sharing more details about that (and how I'm hosting this Capsule) soon. But for now, I just wanted to say hi.
