With GCC 4.9.4 you get
src/certs.c:75:2: error: missing braces around initializer [-Werror=missing-braces]
  br_skey_decoder_context skdec = {0};
---
Or you could have
	br_skey_decoder_context skdec = {{{0}}};
and use -Wno-missing-field-initializers

Of course there probably aren't many people using error throwing
versions any more.

I still haven't worked out what precisely is going wrong, but I have
managed to reliably reproduce the issue by sending a ton of requests
at once. Basically and extremely easy DoS attack.

Quoting RFC 5280 section 4.1.2.5 [0]:

This fixes commit 8b65e303b01fc573cb1c40a365fb5db166146a37 where the
certificate expiration is set to LONG_MAX seconds in the future.
Using LONG_MAX avoids an integer overflow when using 200 years on 32
bit systems, however on 64 bit systems LONG_MAX is 9223372036854775807,
which is around 292 billion years worth of seconds. Unsurpringly, this
doesn't go down well with X509 certificates.

Here it is:


coredumpctl info shows the following stack trace:

Ok. I've installed systemd-coredump and compiled gmnisrv with debugging
symbols, so hopefully I'll get something useful next time it crashes :)

Hi,

I, along with some others, have noticed my gemini capsule going down
regularly in the past two weeks. Unfortunately I don't yet have much
information about what's going on, but, after being told (indirectly)
that a couple other capsules have experienced what is likely the same
problem, it seems like a good idea to post what I do know here.

Since around 2021-03-26, my capsule gemini://calcuode.com/ has become
unresponsive a couple of times per day, requiring the server to be
restarted. At those times there are no errors shown, but looking
through the logs I can see systemd has restarted gmnisrv (sometimes
multiple times) after it failed due to a segmentation fault. I have not
been able to reproduce this failure. I can also see some SSL errors in

Glad to hear you're interested in aura :-)
Out of interest, how did you find the sr.ht experience?

Neither do I :-)

I know the format used in .bib files is geared towards making citations,
cross references, etc., and that the programs that use them
(e.g. BibTeX, Biber) are tightly coupled to TeX/LaTeX.
From that point of view YAML probably makes more sense.

I agree. Either one file with different language entries differetiated
somehow, or each language has its own .bib file.

The citation-key could be used for the paths to the actual content:
gemini://en.booksin.space/a-citation-key/ would get you to a directory
containing all the relevant files.

Hi. This project sounds really cool! I'd like to contribute a few
thoughts.

Should there be a standard format the books should be in (e.g. contents
at the start, ## for chapter headings), or would anything be alright as
long as it's Gemtext? I think it would be nice to have some consistency,
but books can be very varied in terms of layout so it might not be
possible. Especially with non-fiction which might have references,
images etc.

I like the idea of the books having pages, but for simplicity's sake
that might be something best left to the user/client.

I think translations of the same book should all be linked, so that
