Hi Leo,

yes, you do indeed need a special application for accessing the gemini links. There are quite a few options available, ranging from command line clients to fully-fledged graphical ones.1 As for the command line clients, at least two are installed on tilde.club: bollux and amfora. So the simplest option might be to just ssh into tilde.club and then invoke

amfora gemini://tilde.club/

or alternatively

bollux gemini://tilde.club/

Since these clients are primarily gemini clients (although bollux also includes gopher support), you can even leave out the scheme and just invoke

amfora tilde.club

Also note that, since ~deepend already copied the updated version over to the server root (thanks ~deepend!) I replaced the version beneath my home directory with a redirect. To have a look at the redesigned index page I mentioned in my previous email, simply refer to gemini://tilde.club/
as proposed above; or, if you want to have a look at the actual files, take a look at /var/gemini/ on the tilde.club filesystem.

Best

Frank

PS: For a more technical and less practical introduction to gemini, you might also want to have a look at either gemini://geminiprotocol.net/
or https://geminiprotocol.net/.

Frank,

I just want to commend you on your email formatting. Your obvious forethought makes reading plain text a joy. Color me inspired!
