gemini:// protocol and the canonical site/proxy at http://gemini.techrights.org (which was improved this morning); it is another way to read Techrights when there's Web site downtime, as there will be around 8 hours for now (storage-level/SAN migration)
TECHRIGHTS is growing. The number of people involved keeps growing, the number of Daily Links is growing, and the impact of the site in general increased a lot in recent years. Sometimes we have downtime (no site is infallible and we're not some online store with 24/7 SREs), so it helps to have mirrors and contingencies.
"Sometimes we have downtime (no site is infallible and we’re not some online store with 24/7 SREs), so it helps to have mirrors and contingencies."One of them is gemini.techrights.org, which we keep improving; it's basically just a transient proxy or gateway for Gemini. In about 8 hours from now readers can expect a downtime as we move the files to other hardware (at the time of writing Techrights has over 186,000 files) and as noted in the video above we've made progress convincing GNU (and the FSF) to add presence in Geminispace.
Today we spent a lot of time refining CSS for better presentation; we wrote our own proxy/gateway software and it is available under the AGPLv3 (in self-hosted Git).
The Web isn't dead, but a growing proportion of it is misinformation, webspam, and "marketing". ⬆
