the other side of that coin is that gemini is fairly simple. Ask for data and get it. A small computer can do that. it probably couldn't do the maths necessary for hosting an ipfs style system.

idea from scrawlspace: just save the text. hmmmmm this makes a fair bit of sense. Maybe a dated log of things downloaded rather than an opaque cache.

thinking about the idea of fault tolerant networks and protocols. There's a certain amount of overhead to sync-style protocols, and one aspect of this is that updates are tracked. They must be in the protocol, otherwise old versions may propagate. gemini specifically seems to have a gap here, in terms of versioning and proxies.
