This Wiki keeps growing; the hard part is finding a way to keep its mirrors automatically updated as the Wiki expands
Summary: We cautiously announce the Wiki mirror at gemini:// despite its many existing deficiencies (which make us a tad apprehensive) that can be overcome in due course though a lack of consistency across the Wiki makes that extra hard
THE awaited migration to optical fibre is nearly done (boxes and gear in place) and a preliminary migration/conversion to gemini:// for the entire Wiki (about 700 pages in total) can now be found at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/wiki/ (self-hosted from home). If you do not have a Gemini client installed (they’re trivial to install), here’s a Web gateway for the capsule:
This is just a mirror and upon closer scrutiny it soon becomes apparent that much polishing is needed, albeit given the artificial and deliberate limitations of Gemini Protocol it’s understandable that a perfect conversion (even a one-way, uni-directional translation) is infeasible. It is, at best, an approximation.
“It’s possible to have privacy in IRC.”This coming weekend we plan to write about the EPO, seeing that Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos get their way with courts that they totally control (it happened again on Friday; see the links under “Patents” in the latest batch of news). That helps explain why European software patents exist; those who authorise them disregard the law and instead serve the patent litigation industry. It’s a coup, it is vendor capture (or regulatory capture via courts and institutions which happily undermine constitutions).
Leaks and More

The good news is that we’re still becoming more resistant to censorship and robust in the uptime sense. We have two IRC networks, two protocols for serving pages (in 2 different countries), and IPFS for decentralisation. It’s a monumental task to gag/censor us now, even with SLAPP/injunctions (some copies of our publications we just lack the ability to remove). To discuss our ongoing work, suggest topics, issue amendments etc. come and join us in IRC. Bouncers and anonymity agents are being added this month. It’s possible to have privacy in IRC. More on that shortly. █
