Summary: The October 2021 statistics show Techrights traffic more than doubling in just two months and we’ve just improved the capsule by regenerating all the pages in it (better conversions than the prior ones).

just two months

Today is the last day of the month, which means we’ve deleted all Gemini logs. With HTTP it happens automatically because of logrotate after 4 weeks. Our expectations of half a million page requests for October are nearly fulfilled.

Gemini space grew from 441 known active capsules to 1,400 (more than tripling in number between the month of January and the end of October). I know some capsules of people that aren’t included in Lupa’s list, e.g. Gustav from our IRC channels. The real and complete number is likely a lot higher, definitely over 2,000 by now though some are ‘islands’ or sheltered in some intranet. The media barons like to speak of those as the “dark Web”; for Gemini, would that be the “black holes”, given that most things are named after space motifs/projects?

As a sign of the health of the community, consider the recent return of the founder. He’s looking to finalise everything by considering feedback from people and making only minor (cosmetic) changes that annul ambiguities.

the recent return of the founder

Speaking of annulling ambiguities, this past week we updated the entire capsule (37,903 pages in total as of last night) to improve clarify and tidy up pages, based on code which we constantly improve. We’ve invested a lot of time and effort, seeing that the future of Gemini is potentially very bright. Unlike some other “small Internet” protocols, this one isn’t just a passing fad. █
