Due to the shutdown of
gmi.si3t.ch
the gemini capsule of the club has moved to
gemini://clubtelematique.flounder.online/

Feel like I need to get into the habit of searching web directories like #Curlie more instead of relying on increasingly unusable search engines. I use #Surfraw with a bunch of custom sites added but it's just muscle memory to keep choosing DuckDuckGo all the time.

Ok #lazyweb / #smolinternet -- is there a server-side Gemlog feed reader type thing? Something I can run and have it display posts in a web browser?

🚨 Attention Gemini, Gopher, & Finger fans —

Adële ( @adele ) has something to show you:

https://smolweb.org/

Adële joins others who argue that — we shouldn't throw out all of the HTML "baby" with the broken-web "bath water" — but that instead —

We should use a restricted subset of HTML — and in particular XHTML.

The finger-protocol could make use of DNS TXT records.

You could use it to change the TCP-port connected to for a finger-request.

You could use it to change the host connected to for a finger-request.

This has a lot of potential!

What is Gemini?

I have seen more than one person ask that question recently.

So here is a thread explaining — what Gemini is.

But I need to give a bit of historical context to make Gemini make more sense.

Here goes —

The #SmallInternet should move away from Internet domain names.

At least as the primary way of addressing content.

Internet domain names —

• can expire,
• can be taken away from you,
• cost you money each year.

This results in URLs breaking — which contributes to one of the scourges of the Internet — Link-Rot 🔗

We are loosing large parts of human culture , human knowledge, and human history as a result of this!
