### Keyboards
I worked on three different emoji-input sxmo_dmenu.sh implementations. None are very good, and that's mostly do to with delays to stop the menu from sucking up input. With the fastest one, I can type 20 emojis/second. If I have the time, maybe by next update it'll all be in one script, ready for consumption. 🐝

-My dream is for suckless word-completion with contextual awareness. So far, we're missing the contextual part. Idea is to change a symlink to your word list (or word list directory), and so completion would work from a different list. Completing from a small list is reasonable, larger lists are a bit slower, might need some more improvement there.

It would be nice to integrate some word-frequency sorting into the list for better accuracy in large wordlists. Please reach out if you're interested in making this better and/or might want some pointers.
It's already a better experience for me than squeekboard. I can imagine in the future this being used on many other ui's than just SWMO.

### App Store?
I've been spending a little bit of time putting together a menu for installing apps. Still in progress (maybe if I didn't spend so much time writing this up, it'd be done 😬)
-# Server upgrades
+# Servers
I migrated and upgraded my main VPS (which hosts songs.zachdecook.com, zachdecook.com (https only), and my personal nextcloud server) from Ubuntu on DigitalOcean to Alpine on Linode. That went pretty well. Linode's pricing is pretty much the same, though I am paying more for automatic backups here than I was before.
I also switched from MariaDB to Postgres, which has come with its share of learning opportunities 😅.
+The certificates used on my gemini sites are due to expire starting next month. This is due to using an early gmnisrv version which only created 1-year-long certificates (which I guess means a soon happy birthday to this capsule 🥳). If your client implements TOFU, it should have a setting to forget the old cert and trust the new one when that happens. I'm not sure if I'll have to manually create a new cert, but I usually notice if my site is broken, then fix it.

# Closing remarks
-You may have noticed this is my first status update of this sort. This is also the most time-off I've had from working since I was a teenager. I would appreciate prayers for what's next. As long as I'm spending more time on public FOSS projects than any other job, I'll keep up with these updates.
