I believe the migration is now completed! I changed the DNS configuration so now everything should be pointed to the "new" server…
If you can see this new gemlog post, your DNS is up to date and your browsing the updated capsule:
gemini://gmi.bacardi55.io/gemlog/2025/04/04/capsules-update-april-2025/

Paint is still fresh so i'm sure there are a lot of small issues everywhere, but that's fine, just let me know^^.

So, my Pixel phone just, out of the blue, without asking me, switched the assistant to Gemini. Since I don't trust #AI implementations, I immediately shut it off. I uninstalled #Gemini and gave it a 1 star rating.

Hey tech folks, please don't cram your garbage down my throat!

Well, all steps are done to bring back my blog to #gemini .
All other services (houston, discogem, tinylog aggregator) are migrated as well.
DNS TTL has been reduced to 5min

All I need now is:

  • wait for DNS TTL to be propagated
  • write a gemlog entry and/or a blog post to communicate the updates and changes
  • Change the DNS

I may be AFK for the week end so if it doesn't happen tomorrow, it might wait early next week. But at least all technical steps are done except final dns change :-).

Quite happy about finally being able to pull the trigger very soon :)

Did the mighty scientific AI coding shootout of Gemini 2.5pro and ChatGPT o1: same prompt to build a sudoku, a backgammon, a go app in python. Gemini beat ChatGPT soundly. What I find most impressive is not the good code it writes, but the thinking process it shows. Unlike eg. DeepSeek when I read how it approaches the programming task that is DAMN CLOSE to how a good developer thinks. Breaking down problems into smaller ones, keeping an eye on special cases etc.

Man how do #VibeCode developers even get things done? I used #Gemini 2.5 pro today to try and get some command line action up and running and the thing mixed up Go and V and proceeded to create fabulous errors that took me longer than I had worked with the model for to fix.

Ajout sur gemini://planet-gemini.fr:

  • d'une page d'explication¹ pour participer à l'agrégateur (expliquant le format Gemfeed pour ceux ne connaissant ni rss, atom ou gemfeed)
  • d'une page "annuaire"² listant toutes les capsules connues (par moi en tout cas) francophone, y compris celle n'ayant pas (encore?) de flux pour participer à l'agrégateur

Ces 2 pages sont listées sur la page d'accueil.
N'hésitez plus à me partager vos capsules francophones même sans flux :).

@skribe Conversely, the cost of printing, distribution, and storage puts up a barrier to spamming people on other continents with mass quantities of low value slop.

Just think through the logistics of a hostile Eurasian state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Australia or North America.

Or, for that matter, a hostile North American state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Europe or Asia.

You would either need:–

a) At least one printing press on each continent;
b) You could try shipping the magazines, but they'd be a month out of date when they arrive; or
c) You could try flying them overseas, but that would be very expensive very quickly.

That's before you worry about things like delivery drivers (or postage), and warehouses.

These are less of an issue for books than they are for newspapers or magazines.

And if a particular newspaper or magazine is known to be reliable, written by humans, researched offline, and the articles are not available online, then there's potentially value in people buying a physical copy.
