Midnight Pub

Back to the pub...

~garnet

...after a long hiatus. But wasn't this on Gemini? Redirected me to the old http to login and post, huh. Could have sworn...

Howdy!

~bartender? Coffee with cream and sugar, plus water please. Thank you!

I read themidnight on gemini. But posting I use firefox. I have made two attempts to post per script, but /something/ important evaded my eyes, and I never managed. However, since firefox or more precisely torbrowser is running anyway ...

Welcome back!

Thank you for the warm welcome, I'll gladly partake in the coffee, but black for me.

As for the http matter, after a quick investigation I found out that posting on the Midnight Pub board requires authentication tokens, which Gemini doesn't handle easily, hence resorting to http.

Man, this coffee is delicious, warms my old bones up!

Deep down in the trenches, excuse me, in "The Manual", there is a script. Search for "Post using your terminal". Its a bit of shell around curl incantations.

And I once knew, how to snatch that access token from firefox. ~uirapuru told me. And where to put it. Probably ~/.config/.midnight ... But as I said, I have never been successful. Others have, so maybe someone can chime in.

Ah, perfection! This will make stuff...easier, actually. Let me offer you a virtual beer, and cheers!
