One of the good things of the #SmolWeb and #Gemini is, that the search engines actually take permanent redirects and gone replies seriously. So after one crawl, you can remove those entries from your server config and don't have to carry them along for decade like on the web.

@tallship #Solderpunk fits my definition of leadership:
* Uses design to solve problems
* Priorities privacy, communications and sustainability
* Able to express concepts in a minimal and clear sense
* Articulate, being both able to explain with detail and analogy without being heavyhanded with prescription
* Mature enough to be accountable when taking decisions but also hands off to facilitate others to grow and take responsibility
#GeminiProtocol is not doubt only one facet of such +qualities
@risottobias I felt that the design decisions within the #GeminiProtocol for having a minimalist header felt sound.
'Here is the content'
@simon_brooke @yetiinabox
FWIW, Im a fan of #GeminiProtocol
It has a minimalist style, including for URIs
So for example a link would function like this
=> https://example.com This is a comment
The norm to add date information is this
=> gemini://example.com 1970-12-31 This is a comment
As such one could provide a hash of a page and put the reference with the date and as the comment.
Similar have been proposed for the opening hash of a file to chain this stuff
@m I agree finding it all a bit overwhelming visually and with UI - very kitchen sink.
However, I do appreciate the 'antennas' functionality.
Searching for #GeminiProtocol words without horoscope feeds is useful.
Switching between the filter and the present point in that bespoke timeline helped.
If only it purged retroactively but hey
This is the feed, which is still wip - after enough contexualising it will be a boon for #longtail search
@szczezuja @bacardi55 I think there have been some nice community, federated and decentralised approaches emerging with #GeminiProtocol
Some cynicism may have kicked in from outsiders but the principles underpinning the protocol are there and there remain creative developments and articulate writings there.
So its all good, #SlowInternet rules - the clusterfuck from mainstream internet isnt abating, there will be alternative approaches waiting for all refugees.
@IPXFong They use webrings in the world of #GeminiProtocol
Im enquiring with somebody wrt whether progress was made using them for Guix package management.
Lagrange Gemini/Gopher client in TestFlight for iOS looks pretty sharp!
Fonts can be downloaded, excellent basic feature set.
Nice work!

I've taken up #CPlusPlus again. I do mostly #Qt stuff so it's either that or Python, and I'm not really fond of Python.
I had almost forgotten all the pointer-twiddling, which was a "fun" experience to reacquaintance with, but I had rather left forgotten. But I managed to code together a little timer-app, and also contribute some bugfixes to the #SmolWeb / #GeminiProtocol / #Gopher browser Kristall: https://github.com/MasterQ32/kristall

Using #Lagrange on my new tablet. #geminiprotocol looks amazing and reads insanely well on the tablet in portrait mode.
Gemini capsules (and gopher holes) are a GREAT way to "decompress" from "modern" social media... here's a list of programs written to access the protocol:

This is a valid #HTTP request:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
But so, too, is this also a valid HTTP request:
GET http://example.com/ HTTP/1.1
A #geminiProtocol request is similar to the latter.

Gemini is what I was thinking of. Stumbled across this blog and post which mentioned it: https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/gemini.html For a summary of what #GeminiProtocol is: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html
We need better browsers for #Gemini. #Lagrange is the best so far, but it glitches too much for me. #smolnet #geminiprotocol

@dgriffinjones Seems that would be something like #geminiprotocol capsules or a #gemlog. https://geminiquickst.art/
