2021: The Year of Gemini on the Internet (From Around 500 Known Capsules to 2,000 or More, With Over 3 Months Left)

We’ve decided to chart or produce a graph with some of the publicly-available numbers from Lupa, the Gemini protocol spider of Stéphane Bortzmeyer (bortzmeyer.org)

Benjamin Henrion @zoobab of @ffii is also in #geminiSpace already. https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007242.html

This month (for the month alone) #Techrights pages requests over gemnini:// protocol will have exceeded 400k -- more than doubling in a single month. #geminispace growth: gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi

#geminispace : "can we just add this one..." "NO!!!" "...but..." "NO NO NO!!" Don't turn #geminiprotocol into another #www -- that would be missing the point and eventually companies would come around with pure trash like EME. "Hey, Tim Berners-Lee, mind if we add DRM and screw everyone, inc. disabled people?" Tim: "SURE!!!!"

People who tried to introduce favicon.txt to gemini are now causing capsules in #GeminiSpace to receive a ton of invalid requests. This is like EEE of #geminiProtocol ... if some clients start to support something NOT in the standard they cause others to be compelled to implement these 'extensions' too. Don't do this!

"a low voice in my brain keeps telling me, that not so long ago I read something (post? mailinglist??) from some person, who pondered about how to achieve a personal brand on their capsule." https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007222.html #geminispace #geminiprotocol

We don't need HR in #geminispace because simpler ways exist https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007221.html

Overdoing things (or reinventing what can be done in plain text) would ruin #geminiSpace so I'm happy to see people pushing back https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007220.html

#Geminiprotocol (gemini://) and the fast-growing #Geminispace (expected to exceed 2,000 known capsules by year’s end, in effect quadrupling in a single year!) are possible to access using #Webbrowsers http://techrights.org/2021/09/23/gemini-proxies-survey/

Growing fast! Maybe 10 per day! "There are 1653 capsules. We successfully connected recently to 1343 of them." gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi #geminiProtocol #geminiSpace #Internet

Maintenance and Development Updates

We've been doing a lot of work on the back end (or operations) of Techrights, more so this past month, and we're almost ready to resume the normal publication pace

We’re trying to improve the site’s availability (ensuring it can never be offline) and make it more censorship-resistant; people who adopt IPFS can make that happen while tackling the “bloated Web” and “centralised Internet” issues — all at the...
