Renters hoping to be protected by the order must also certify, under penalty of perjury, that if they are evicted, they “would likely become homeless, need to move into a homeless shelter, or need to move into a new residence shared by other people who live in close quarters because [they] have no other available housing options.” > The order does not offer any financial relief—either for renters or for housing providers—and it doesn’t relieve anyone from having to pay their rent in full eventually. It also doesn’t prevent housing providers from charging interest or applying fees and penalties. Sometimes when I laugh, I hear Dad laughing. gemini://gemini.marmaladefoo.com/blog/1-Sep-2020_The_Duckling_Proxy.gmi > The Duckling proxy 🦆 is a scheme-specific filtering proxy for Gemini clients to access the web. It behaves as a normal Gemini server, except it retrieves its content from the web. You can tailor its behaviour when it starts, to tailor how web pages are transformed to gemtext. > It is scheme-specific, i.e. it is designed to handle HTTP requests only. Agena is another example of a scheme specific proxy, supporting gopher. > Web pages are translated to text/gemini. Other web resources are returned directly. > The primary intended use case for this proxy is as a personal proxy to make the web accessible to your favourite Gemini client. > The following clients support per-scheme proxies and can be configured to use Duckling proxy. > Any other client that implements scheme specific proxies to use it. Clients that support configurable, scheme-specific proxies? Interesting.
