An old linux user rambling on about linux, FOSS, and other geekery.

My gemini capsule has launched.

2021-02-07 | #FOSS #gopher #gemini

And we have liftoff! I have a gemini capsule now.

If you already have a gemini client enter in the following address:

`gemini://gemini.lottalinuxlinks.com`

Gemini is a new privacy-respecting internet protocol that seeks to fill the space between the web and gopher. It is still new to me, so I am just getting into it; but @Samsai[1], has a really good post[2] about what makes gemini intriguing.

Much like gopher, except way more modern, you will need a gemini client to view gemini content.

Here is a list[3] of clients, proxies, and servers that can be used with gemini.

If you don't have a gemini client yet, you can use the gemini portal[4] to access gemini capsules with a web browser.

There isn't a lot of information on the web about it, but Project Gemini[5], and of course wikipedia[6], have a little more information if you are interested in learning more.

Special thanks to @ecliptik[7] and his _scripts repository[8].
