Last month we explored the possibility of IRC participation over gemini:// (with our sights set on anonymous communication through my home server^*). Someone has just paved the way towards this with a prototype at gemini://chatroom.yysu.xyz/bin/chat0/, so we've decided to record a video and show how that works^**.

"Gemini isn't hard. It just isn't well known."Here is the announcement from the official mailing list, along with project code.

Gemini isn't hard. It just isn't well known. ⬆ _____________ ^* E-mails can be encrypted, but hiding source and destination of communications is harder (than PGP) and Tor isn't something with a sufficiently low entry barrier (the NSA also tracks who downloads/installs it).

^** Currently it feels more like a guestbook, not chat.
