Bonum Certa Men Certa

Shifting Back to Fundamentals and Basics of the World Wide Web (and Gemini)

Video download link



Summary: Gemini protocol or simplified Web might be the way to go; it's easier to maintain, secure, and it's vastly better in terms of performance

THE Web has become undoubtedly bloated. More and more people now come to realise it; after the reckoning comes the complaining.



So, what can be done about all this bloat? Can the Web itself be redeemed?

"Sometimes going back to basics is a positive move or a gradual move in the right direction."One option is to just leave the Web aside and start afresh with a new protocol like gemini:// (which is not alone).

The trust monopolies are another kind of issue, so Gemini allows self-signed certificates. It's still gaining in popularity and Gemini use is definitely on the rise. Adoption increases as every month we see more unique IP addresses in our capsule.

This video, partly conjured/inspired by this, gives an outline of some of our processes and the vision of where we'd like to be. Sometimes going back to basics is a positive move or a gradual move in the right direction.
