My essay 'rosa's Ecofeminist Dictionary' is now online as part of the exhibition Sun Thinking!

solarprotocol.net/sunthinking/

The tiny dictionary is the result of many conversations I had with those who have logged in and out of rosa in the past year.

Using a DNS SRV record instead of a DNS TXT record —

To make it so you can change the TCP-port and host of a finger-protocol request —

Seems like a reasonable modification to what I was proposing.

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!

Why 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 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!

You could use as a mirror & a CDN —

The type of request many are used to —

finger joeblow@example.com

I.e., ask "example.com" for joeblow's content.

But you could request someone else's from a different server with:

finger joeblow@example.com@changelo.gca

I.e., ask "changelo.ca" for the content for "joeblow" from "example.com".

I heavily used back in the 1990s.

People are starting to use finger again!

The new finger community should be open to creating new ‘switches’.

For example “/PULL”, “/PUSH”, “/BANANA”, etc.

You could even make ‘switches’ that look like file & directory paths — “/path/to/a/file.ext”.

(Finger ‘switches’ are recognized by starting with slash (“/”).)
