Thanks for the followup.  But I prefer it point to
https://rubygems.org/gems/unicorn because bogomips.org is
likely going away once extortionists take over the .org TLD[*]

I don't believe in paying .org extortionists out of principle
(and also being a cheapskate :P).  The folks running
RubyGems.org are probably more likely to justify the cost,
and I can update the gemspec to another URL without having to
bother anybody here.

I imagine most folks would rather shove unicorn under the rug
due to my refusal to use centralized/proprietary services or JS :>



[*] Fwiw I always expected something like the .org sell-out to happen,
    hence my choice to not build a "brand identity" around bogomips.org
    or any other name.  No identity, nothing to lose :>
