In short...

Gemini serves plain text in a modern way.

Text is served as line, some lines are specials and can be: links, headers, quotes or bullets.

To render each line you need only the first three characters, for instance this is a link: =>

Since rendering lines is easy, GemText is organically displayed properly on every device and client. You don't need extra rules as in CSS/HTML.

Gemini is static, uses TLS self certificates and it is privacy oriented.

Gemini can serve any media file, although it is not suited for very large file or streaming. With Gemini you always know when a connection is opened and closed.

Gemini pages are nice to read everywhere but #Lagrange (both desktop and android) makes Gemini shining.

The low resources required to run a Gemini server, and the general low overhead and bandwidth involved, makes Gemini a very good choice for projects like the #LibraryBox and the #PirateBox!

I am listening ep. 709 of #FLOSSWeekly...

Dear @Griffey the #LibraryBox can revive thanks to the #GeminiProtocol, we also have a format called #GemPub that can be delivered as book and be readable by any client!

With the shit we’re seeing in Texas and Florida around limiting access to information via schools and libraries I was reminded of things like #Piratebox and #Librarybox and how something like that may be more important now than ever.

Sadly, things like “ssl everywhere” have made it hard for these “autonomous info systems” to work easily with common devices.

That sucks; I wonder what I can do about this?

[Ripropongo la questione]

progetti analoghi non ancora defunti?!
similar projects still active?

#LibraryBox

#PirateBox

[In questo momento in cui si parla tanto di decentralizzazione mi pare strano non trovare progetti analoghi. Qualcosa che ti puoi installare su un router portatile e con cui poter condividere file e/o altro con chiunque si trovi nel raggio d'azione del router in questione..

Recentemente ho letto di #ProjectCLIC ma non so se può fare al caso]

@xuv hey, yes, quite amazing, isn't it!! You could try #mazizone, that's Constant #etherbox meets #librarybox. I think the potentially tricky flashing of the tp-link does not help, nor finding the boxes themselves, the hardware, that is. I actually managed to brick one, with ptr having to help revive it.. Mazizone is already from 2018, sheesh! and is pi based..
I thought that, in these times where everyone is stuck at home, it would be a good thing to bring back a #Piratebox or #Librarybox project to life and install one in my neighborhood. I'm surprised to see that all these have practically vanished.
