Forked from https://gitlab.com/uoou/dotfiles/-/blob/master/stow/bin/home/drew/.local/bin/lace
-This version will run on Debian based distros running Sed 3.7
-
Lace is a small script to interlace Gemini Capsule micro blogs.
-The original script showed how long ago a entry was posted.
-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPMLGK8lWX4
-All scripts will run with Sed 3.7 on standard Linux Distros
-
-lace has two time headers.
-How long ago the micropost was sent.
-The date and time the micropost was sent.
+Enhancements made to the original lace with this fork.
-lacehowlong only has the how long ago time header.
+The original lace would not run on Linux distributions running sed 3.7 or on Termux on Android.
-lacewithdate only has the date and time header.
+Lace can now run on either a standard Linux distributions running sed 3.7, Termux on android, and UserLAnd on Android. Sed, date, openssl, curl, less are dependencies that need to be installed.
-### laceandterm
+The original script showed how long ago a entry was posted. Lace now shows how long ago a post occurred and the date and time of the post.
-laceandterm runs on both a standard Linux distro, termux on android, UserLAnd, and possibly other Linux emulations. Sed, date, openssl, curl are dependencies that need to be installed on termux.
+### Favicons
-laceandterm may show the acual code for a favicon rather than the icon itself depending on the version of GNU less and/or fonts installed.
-If this happens you can either install a font that supports the favicon or comment out the following line in the script.
+Lace may show the actual code for a favicon rather than the icon itself depending on the version of GNU less and/or fonts installed. If this happens you can either install a font that supports the favicon or comment out the following line in the script.
```
fav=$(openssl s_client -crlf -quiet -connect "$domain:1965" <<<"gemini://$domain/favicon.txt" 2>/dev/null | sed -e '1d')
```
Since favicons are not part of the Gemini standard, you may not want favicons to display. Commenting out the above line of code will prevent favicons from displaying.
+### Updates
+2021-04-27 I added a timeout variable in that is used with the timeout command to timeout connecting after a designated time to an unresponsive server. If the value for the variable is a number it is in seconds if it is a number followed by a m then it is in minutes.
+
+## Things to Do
+Currently the script checks the server for a favicon and the actual blog page, so it connects to a server twice. Currently, the script will check even an unresponsive server twice. I need to add the logic that if the server times out on the first connect to skip the second connect.
