Looks like your link is dead, unfortunately. Did your capsule move someplace else?

I've been working on steadily improving the anarchist library mirror for a while now. Thanks for checking it out.

That makes sense to me. I'll have to trim them but that's doable. Thanks for the suggestion. ✊
Edit: done!

Reply to Gemini mirror of The Anarchist Library by panda_roux
oh so cool. An initial thought is that i would like to see the author's names alongside the titles under latest entries. What do you think

Lagrange looks nice on linux. Also available for Windows and MacOS. Also in pkgsrc, so I figure FreeBSD probably also has it, and someone probably has it for OpenBSD.
Castor9 is mentioned for plan9. No idea.

ELAHO client on iphone, more are available on android, haven't booted up a laptop or desktop in a really long time, but lots of nice clients for linux, lots of them play well with the cli because the way Gemini focuses more on text…

Heya how's that quick start guide going? I'm super curious, but equally as fresh-start-ish as Epicalyx up there

Wow. It been a while since I last was active on here. Thanks a lot I'll test and try to implement those changes. Or at least I will try to not forget I don't feel that good at the moment and I'll be gone for a month. Thank you so much for doing this though ❤️

u/Sails I don't know if you checked out the other pages on the first link but I think this can answer a lot of your questions about Gemini (like what it is, how to access it, the goals, the name, what is a proxy, etc) : Gemini FAQ
PS: I also modified the forum's sidebar to include the FAQ.
PS2: You also mentioned a mirror for the anarchist library I don't know if you were talking about me or not but I'm not doing an anarchist library mirror, yet. What I done was a Raddle mirror (very very early phase)
PS3 (lol): I learned there is actually someone trying to mirror anarchist library on gemini, if you have the link to their project I'm interested ^^ I just know the nickname of that person (which I've seen somewhere else but I can't remember where)
All the links in this response are links to my proxy, so you can open them without problems.

The first link is a "proxy" for the second link. The second link is intended for people who already use Gemini and the first one is intended for people who don't use Gemini yet. Those links are the official pages of the Gemini project.
I'll make a quickstart guide about Gemini at some point. For now i made a messy page about it https://portal.snowcode.ovh/x/snowcode.ovh/gemini.gmi

Well Gemini pages can link to html pages and vice versa no problem, they are both accessable on the internet in the same way, you run a browser that turns the markdown language into an image on your screen, processes style sheets etx, the difference comes down to some pretty minor Technical things, such as theres a lot of limitations and simplification to how Gemini is Written and rendered, resulting in much smaller pages faster loading times and better accessability. Mark down languages like html have a lot of bells and whistles, and are often used together with a bunch of other languages such as css, JavaScript, and include a lot of tracking, cookies, profiling etc.
A lot of people have a lot of political reasons to want a simpler internet,
Gemini creates a niche outside of a lot of the complexities of the internet, and I'm pretty excited about what I've seen on it.

I guessed as much, but does that mean a whole separate internet, or just another way of doing the internet from within the internet, or what?

Thanks - what exactly is the meaning of WWW in this context?

Gemini is essentially like a lightweight WWW. Text only, no ads, no javascript, no bullshit.

You're actually not playing them you are just sending the files and the client handles it how it wants.

Sorry for the delay. The problem is that making it text-only would also mean loosing a lot of content from the site. I'll try to include support for comments and wiki as well so it would have more sense to have it on gemini.
Maybe we can add something like "[HTTP]" or "[IMG]" in the title of the lists?

Oh shit. I forgot. I had issues with my server as it has very little storage, so I had to make some space. I'll try to place it back when I get the time.
