Summary: We've been Building Back Better so far this month; with site migrations ongoing the plan is to further expand the use of Git (self-hosted) and add support to facilitate Gemini, perhaps along with other emergent protocols

HERE in Techrights we're using Gemini Protocol to present Git to the outside world. We're tracking other capsules, sharing all of our posts in real time (including past ones, going all the way back to 2006), and I personally use it to check the local weather several times per day [1, 2].

"At the current pace of growth, Techrights will have about 45,000 Gemini pages by year's end."Now that we're moving the sites to Alpine we've taken Git to the next level and are planning further expansions in Geminispace, as the video above explains. Geminispace is nowhere as big as the World Wide Web, but it is steadily growing. So far this week (since Monday) we've served nearly 50,000 pages. It's hardly "just a niche" anymore. It's growing fast.

As shown in the 3 images below, Gemini has largely rejected the centralised CA model and has instead chosen to trust capsules based on past certificates transmitted to visitors:

At the current pace of growth, Techrights will have about 45,000 Gemini pages by year's end. If Tux Machines gets added to Gemini, it'll be truly massive (the Tux Machines Web site has about 170,000 pages). ⬆
