Bonum Certa Men Certa

Over 1,500 (Known/Unorphaned) Gemini Capsules and Over 160,000 Page Requests in gemini.techrights.org During July

Summary: Techrights is expanding at gemini:// (Gemini space) and over 1,500 capsules are reported to have been found (less than 4 months ago it was about 1,000)

THE most exciting development on the Internet, at least from our possibly 'narrow' perspective, is Gemini protocol. Sure, we may be biased, especially as we're a participant in the migration to Web alternatives (as in, substitutes that can replace the bloated World Wide Web to some degree, at least some of the time).



Our July statistics for Gemini were published around midnight (0:00) of the last day of the month. By at the actual end of the month we've served over 160k page requests in gemini:// (in one month, a new all-time record); we can't help but wonder which capsules get the most traffic as it's not impossible that among them it is in fact gemini.techrights.org, which remains the largest one, according to these August 1st statistics.

We recently added our wiki to the archive of all posts. It can be found at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/wiki/ (still alpha).

Gemini seems to be growing in general. Recent developments in Gemini space can be tracked here (signal/noise ratio improved by mild moderation).
