Today has been spent playing with the #GeminiProtocol. Its very similar to #Gopher but has TOFU SSL.

Something's cooking..
Just made preparations to host another #gemini space for #Italian #geminauts
..sooon™

Qualcosa bolle in pentola..
Appena finito i preparativi per ospitare un nuovo spazio #gemini tutto #italiano
..prestooo™

Look, y'all, Gopherholes or Geminispace. No JavaScript. All plaintext. No worries. Let's get on it!!!
#GopherProtocol #GeminiProtocol #Firefox

On gemini-protocol and user-experience (UX).

A quienes gusten de Gemini, ya tienen la entrada de hoy junto con las tres últimas en mi gemlog:

Upgrade day. Patching the OpenSSH thingies. And upgrading the Gemini server, too. Let's see what breaks! #OpenBSD #GeminiProtocol #Fedora

Sweet! I fully set up agate as a system service for #GeminiProtocol

Check it out at gemini://gemini.nasman.us/gemini_setup.gmi

I just stood up a bare bones agate #GeminiProtocol server. So exciting to have the DNS resolution propagate faster than I could do port forwarding and run the server.

Now to make it more of a service by creating a user/group, setting up a systemd service and rotating logging.

Then on to content building!

I guess I'll take down the fledgling #Gopher hole

Unpacking the Gemini Protocol: A New Frontier in Internet Communication

The Gemini protocol is making waves as a minimalist alternative to the web, emphasizing privacy and simplicity. As discussions around its implementation in the curl project heat up, we delve into the ...

The Gemini protocol is a lightweight alternative to HTTP positioned as a spiritual successor to Gopher. One drawback is that without reuse of TCP connections, every navigation takes several seconds on geostationary satellite Internet.

Comme je vois que tu te poses la question, voici la marche à suivre pour ajouter ta capsule à l’agrégateur Antenna. En fait, c’est tout simple : sur Antenna, tu cliques sur « Send transmission! » et dans le champ de saisie, tu écris ou tu colles l’adresse de la page d’accueil de ta capsule. Comme celle-ci contient des liens présentés sous cette forme :

=> [adresse de l’article] 2025-02-07 [titre de l'article]

ils seront pris en compte et affichés par Antenna.

l'espace https://tilde.cafe/ va bientôt fermé. j'ai donc déménagé ma capsule gemini dans un autre espace : https://tilde.club/. profil mastodon mis à jour et nouvel article pour fêter ce déménagement : gemini://tilde.club/~didje/2025_02_07_demenagement.gmi

How big is the #GeminiProtocol (MB, GB, TB)? Part of me thinks it'd be possible to download most of it (excluding large media) to browse offline. I'm flying right now which inspired this thought.

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability

(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)

https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/

There are still some things I need to determine.

1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.

2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.

3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?

Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

oh un nouveau numéro du smolzine est disponible ! gemini://gemini.cyberbot.space/smolzine/smolzine-issue-42.gmi

il ne contient que peu d'articles en rapport avec #geminiprotocol mais il ne tient qu'aux gemininautes ou autres smolnetnautes de le faire vivre !
