[ANN] Capsule announcement - ur.gs

It's been intermittently up and down for ages now, but I finally got
around to deploying gemini://ur.gs properly with TOFU TLS, and
(manually) converted my old blogs and so on. It's not very interesting,
but it is present. I've said this about it many times in the past, but
I'll see if I can add new items on a semi-regular basis for a while.

Special bonus feature: each page served directly from a box in my
hallway, up here in Shetland.

I'm using Ages + Kiln; overall, very nice, although I struggled to work
out what Kiln expected of me inside src/ to begin with.

I *couldn't* quickly work out how to get the /img, /pdf, and /traces
entries not to appear in the automatic listing in /index.gmi. So I
created `index.gmi` files for each, so the links would at least not be
broken. I expected that to result in autogenerated links to each of the
(non-gmi) files, but that didn't happen either, so it's a bit of a
weird halfway situation.

I'm a heavy user of inline links in prose, but I found that it (mostly)
converted in a natural style, without needing a great deal of
restructuring. I think there's still a bunch of inline preformatted
text (`like this`) that I need to reformat, though.

Need to work out the feeds.

Of course, gemini://ur.gs/robots.txt is present and correct ;)

I was intending to have https://ur.gs issue redirects to the matching
gemini pages, but I've realised I host a bunch of Very Large GIFs there
that are externally linked, so I've got to untangle that knot first.
