I hate that Google’s AI is named Gemini. Now when I tell people that I explore geminispace they think AI rather than smolnet. To be fair, no one really thought smolnet anyway. #geminiprotocol#smolnet
Niche question: I used to quite like reading Winter's Gemlog before rawtext.club took a dump with its trousers on. Does anyone know if they're posting anywhere else now? #gemini
Ah… Le moteur de recherche pour #Gemini ( #GeminiProtocol, #notGoogleGemini) geminispace.info va être arrêté le 1er juin, à quelques semaines seulement du 5e anniversaire de ce protocole Internet alternatif au Web et à Gopher…
Comme la capsule comporte peu de pages, je les ai toutes téléchargées (sauf celles qui mènent à un statut 10 INPUT, évidemment), pour en conserver une trace.
heads up to #Geminauts:
search service geminispace.info will go down on 1st June 2024.
The current VPS contract will end at this day and i decided not to renew.
It was an interesting journey the last 3 years, but life has changed since then and it's time for me to move on.
Maybe i'll reuse the domain for other gemini related stuff in the future, but for the moment i decided to take a break in hosting a gemini service.
It seems that there is only one android mobile client (rosy cow) that is actively in development for the #geminiprotocol . This is worrying, as this eco-system is still relatively new. Luckily, the desktop clients are still thriving with Lagrange by @skyjake.fi is sitting on the throne.
Perhaps it is time for me to get my gempod up and running...
Running #plan9front in my #thinkpad x280 for this entire year is going to be distractionless and super productive workstation. I dinnae miss the browser at all. Also I'm learning tons of new #computing things. There is no way back. Thank you to every single person and to the developers for this amazing experience. #plan9
@sirjofri I do the same, for quick searches I'm using the mobile browser. Also I am a #geminiprotocol user so it makes sense to use it under #plan9 as is more convenient.
@allanon Same. I envision a future with #GeminiProtocol human-made pages only, except with clients that emphasize (predefined) beautiful typography and layout. Just text and images, all respecting a design book type layout with hyperlinks and search.
Technology isn’t the problem. We need a parallel non capitalist internet. Part of it already exists. It needs better search, better clients, better understanding from the general people. I believe the Fediverse could be at the center.
Last week I found out about the Gemini protocol. It's like a light weight alternative to the web. There is not much to it. Every resource loads only one file. You could compare the experience of browsing it to having reading mode in your browser always on. I like the simplicity of it and the DIY mentality
I worked on a little server for it the over the weekend but there is nothing on it yet so I'll post the link some other time.
I have been on Gemini since 2021, a few variations of my capsule have evolved over that time but its still me. Ive noticed a few of the advocates at the time, are not on Gemini now. I wonder why? Is it lack of discovery or connection with others that the web gives so easily now, or is it loss of interest? I doubt its the level of difficulty, yes you need to put the effort in creating information, but we are just talking about text files here. universal interface. #gemini#geminiprotocol
Les gens, si vous connaissez un moyen de récupérer l’intégralité d’une capsule #Gemini (#GeminiProtocol#notGoogleGemini) en une ligne de commande, comme le permet le script Python GopherDL, à des fins de sauvegarde et pour se prémunir d’une disparition de ladite capsule, je prends !
(gemget semble ne pas faire dans le téléchargement récursif, et c’est un gros manque)
Je n’ai pas la réponse à la question (pas taper !), mais une solution qui pourrait intéresser les utilisateurs de flounder.online : l’interface web de la plate-forme dispose d’un lien « Download my site archive (.zip) » qui fait le job.
À mon avis, ça doit fonctionner comme sur flounder : tu vas sur la page d’accueil smol.pub, tu te connectes (Login) et tu devrais avoir accès à cette commande d’exportation.
i'm romina killpack santos, i'm a salvadoran american nonbinary polyam transfemme lesbian living in socal. i've moved around a lot pretty much my whole life, but i'm trying to put down some roots lately.
I wanna do co-op stuff and critical #solarpunk I have way too many hobbies , but on this page I will mostly post about tech #p2p#geminiprotocol and unfortunately #activitypub and #fediverse . I do a little osdev too ^^
Opinion: I don’t think markdown / html should ever had offered more than two heading levels. One for chapter/article titles and one for sections inside the text body. You know, like most books. Having to melt lead for a new font size made you think twice about purpose.
When you give people six header level options they seem to get confused.
D’après Solderpunk, il ne resterait plus que 3 ans avant la finalisation définitive des spécifications du ptotocole #Gemini. Passé cette date, il n’évoluera (normalement, car on sait pas de quoi l’avenir sera réellement fait) plus jamais. Bon, il a justement été conçu dans le but d’être finalisé dès le départ, faut dire… https://geminiprotocol.net/news/2024_02_21.gmi
This is the Fediverse, so I wouldn't mention this to the people I follow on Bluesky, most of whom aren't interested in the explorative aspects of online life, but: if you're interested in online-but-off-web computing, take a look at the tildes listed on tilde.wiki. I'm active on one of them, and it's been so much fun getting back to a vision of the internet that isn't based on platforms.
È un successore spirituale di Gopher, che a sua volta è un protocollo di rete per condividere documenti ed ipertesti su internet. Creato nel 1991 dall'università del Minnesota, nonostante l'iniziale successo è stato poi annichilito dal successo del protocollo World Wide web che usiamo con regolarità ancora oggi.
Oggi c'è un revival di questo formato, perché molti pensano che il web moderno sia ingolfato da tracciatori e troppa pubblicità.
