Summary: Today we take a look at means of communication over gemini:// or something that’s akin to Gemini ‘apps’; the protocol is sufficiently open-ended for some useful things that don’t overcomplicate or contribute to useless bloat
Last month we explored the possibility of IRC participation over gemini:// (with our sights set on anonymous communication through my home server*). Someone has just paved the way towards this with a prototype at gemini://chatroom.yysu.xyz/bin/chat0/, so we’ve decided to record a video and show how that works**.
“Gemini isn’t hard. It just isn’t well known.”Here is the announcement from the official mailing list, along with project code.
Gemini isn’t hard. It just isn’t well known. █ _____________* E-mails can be encrypted, but hiding source and destination of communications is harder (than PGP) and Tor isn’t something with a sufficiently low entry barrier (the NSA also tracks who downloads/installs it).
** Currently it feels more like a guestbook, not chat.
