Update links to nicksphere-gmi repo
Since nicksphere-gmi is an unmaintained repo that has been superseded by hugo-theme-journal, I no longer wish to host it on my subdomain.

Also, OpenTimestamps has an extremely efficient design compared to other Bitcoin timestamping schemes. Thanks to OpenTimestamps' clever use of [Merkle trees](https://petertodd.org/2016/opentimestamps-announcement#merkle-trees), it can timestamp unlimited data using only 1 transaction. Other Bitcoin timestamping software uses 1 transaction per timestamp, an extremely wasteful, inefficient design. At least OpenTimestamps isn't that bad.
-So anyway, I created a timestamped Git commit and tagged it [timestamp-1](https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/nicksphere-gmi/tag/?h=timestamp-1). I wrote the concatenated commit data of the timestamped commit to [a file](/resource/timestamp-1.txt) in case you're interested to see what it looks like. The software works in a very elegant fashion. It even maintains compatibility with non-OpenTimestamps Git clients, so GnuPG can still verify the commit signature.

The base64-encoded timestamp appended to the commit data includes all the necessary hashes to build the Merkle path from the tagged commit to the merkle root included in the Bitcoin transaction. Using './ots --git-extract <filename>' on any file in the nicksphere-gmi repo present at the timestamped commit, you can extract an ots proof file which you can then verify with './ots --verify <filename>'.

* Remove corrections page. I have no motivation to write corrections. I don't think anybody would read them anyway and it's probably best to just make new entries to self-correct.

If anybody reading this needs a hosted service for a use case, just let me know. Otherwise I'll dedicate those resources elsewhere.
* Website redesign! I changed the font to sans-serif which is much easier and more enjoyable to read than monospace. I also squashed the text to 780 pixels so less horizontal eye scanning is required. This is irrelevant to readers coming from Gemini and Atom/RSS.

# Final Note
A while back I said I don't wish for my entries related to spirituality to be interpreted as truth-apt. I've complained about the difficulty in explaining spiritual concepts. But I think I've finally reached a point where I can explain myself better. So I'm retracting my previous stance. Please do interpret future entries related to spirituality as literally true.

# What's New
-Over the past week, I rewrote my journal generator (yes, again). I created a [Hugo theme](https://git.nicksphere.ch/hugo-theme-nicksphere/), so Hugo now does all the heavy lifting. The new program simply called "[nicksphere](https://git.nicksphere.ch/nicksphere/)" generates the website, the Gemini capsule, and the Atom feeds for both all in less than a second. Any plans I had for my custom generator [nicksphere-gmi](https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/nicksphere-gmi) have been scrapped.

Now that Hugo is handling the generation process, I no longer need to make my generator multithreaded, multilingual, or documented. My generator wasn't bad, but obviously it's nothing compared to a popular, established site generator like Hugo.

* Full content [Atom feeds](/atom.xml) have returned. Before Gemini, I had a full content web feed, not just the summaries. After Gemini, I changed it to summaries only. Now, full content is supported again along with summaries. It was a mistake adding Gemini without full content web feed support. I shouldn't have taken that feature away from readers without warning. I was just so focused on getting Gemini that I ditched the web feed to roll that out early. Apologies to anyone using it. I don't really care how readers access my blog as long as they're reading it and I want to make it as accessible as possible for everyone.
* New [content submodule](https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/nicksphere-gmi-content). This almost entirely separates the text on my blog from everything else, significantly reducing the number of files in the main repository. I did this to create a logical separation between the text on the blog and everything used to generate/display that text.
* Clearer licensing. The licensing was unclear before because I didn't clearly indicate which licenses went with which files. Now that content and scripts live in separate repositories, the main repo can use GPLv3 exclusively and the content CC BY-SA 4.0 exclusively.
-* Gitlab pages is fixed as of [this commit](https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/nicksphere-gmi/commit/?id=3ea0615f72fcae2d345f239569019429c5d5d168). Before, it wasn't recursively cloning the new content submodule, so the generation process was failing and the mirror was down for a while.

* GNU Audio Video mirror link added. I'm now mirroring all the GNU audios and videos. Before I had the A/V on the mirrors subdomain and A/V links weren't working that way. I realized that particular mirror requires its own domain to display properly, so now it has one.
