There isn't really a great way around this, as you can't rely on clients
supporting SRV records or anything. Here are two options:

* Host Gemini on gem.evertpot.com, or gemini.evertpot.com
* Switch Github pages to www.evertpot.com, and on your Gemini machine, run
  a webserver that serves redirects from evertpot.com to www.evertpot.com - and
  then also run a Gemini server on :1965

The latter is what I do personally, but either works. I don't see a lot of
other options.
