Please, go here https://lagrangepoint.mataroa.blog/ instead, until I figure out how I wanna blog and whether to continue using WordPress or not. WordPress is just too much for me, when all I want is a simple way to blog.

I have decided to go back on not hosting a small web capsule, that is, Gemini. Gemini is currently the most popular small web protocol. I do value what it brings to everyone. I might also host a Gemini capsule over Tor and Yggdrasil. I’m also looking into IPFS. I don’t quite understand how to…
