Summary: The custom-made content management system (CMS) has taken top priority; we've meanwhile reached a record number of people and sent a record number of pages over Gemini (today)

THE beta site that's used to develop and test a new and lightweight CMS improved a lot today, both at the front end and the back end, but what's more noteworthy today is our Gemini capsule exceeding 55,000 pages transmitted (in that one day alone). We track Geminispace closely throughout the day as the number of active capsules continues to grow. Exciting times.



"When we're done with Tux Machines we'll try to do the same here in Techrights -- fulfilling a long-term (but not long-forgotten) promise."This past month we've invested a lot of time lessening technical debt and last month we registered Tux Machines for the next 5 years. We want to take it to the next level and bloated software like Drupal isn't the way to go. We'll add Gemini support to Tux Machines and make everything lighter. When we're done with Tux Machines we'll try to do the same here in Techrights -- fulfilling a long-term (but not long-forgotten) promise.
