All EPO Articles Are Available Over Gemini Protocol

Summary: For lighter and more privacy-preserving access to Techrights use the Gemini capsule instead of the Web site

HAVING just done a quick tally, there are now 4,070 articles in the EPO wiki (this one included), with some of them being translations or items which only partly cover the EPO, so let's say about 4,000 in total. We've posted a lot; published over 30,000 blog posts in total, so 4,000 is over 10%, not taking post length -- or depth of coverage -- into account.



"We've posted a lot; published over 30,000 blog posts in total, so 4,000 is over 10%, not taking post length -- or depth of coverage -- into account."All the EPO posts are in Gemini, with a simple URL substitution enabling access to them.

For http://techrights.org/2021/04/11/juri-poem/ (just published), for instance, use gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/04/11/juri-poem/ in a Gemini client of choice or a Web proxy.

BombadilloBombadillo on the right may seem retro and "Brutalist"; but some Gemini clients are almost indistinguishable from a Web browser and they render pages very neatly while adding neat navigation effects, sometimes even images.

Lagrange has plenty of features and Moonlander is promising (still alpha stage). I've recorded my very first experience with the former just to show how simple it is to wrap one's head around everything. The Gemini (gemini://) protocol is vastly simpler than HTTP/HTML/WWW, so the learning curve isn't steep.
