Gday 1. I would love to see newsgroup rival for news (textural), low bandwidth photos/pics and low bandwidth files (podcasts,recipies, wood working/3d printing plans) Problem is gemini protcol would have to support * Username and password * Encyption * Proper text entry I dont see the current workaround as a valid solution that pass's text input back to the site as a half baked workaround for search engines currently It would be good if old opensource/foss newsgroup clients were patched to support GNG (Gemini News Group) both CLI + UI Would the newsgroups support opt in multi server linking system eg Kitty Server - cotton balls - treats - those dogs - silly owner You could connect to treats if other sections were down -------------------- 2. I would like to see secure IRCS , FTPS, newsgroupS and fingerS come back without bloated http web, corporations, , centralised cloud servers , subverive elements Along with support for alt DNS such as IPFS/OpenNic or something else to get around Centralised Censorship ------------ 3. Also has anyone dissussed a method to transfer email in bulk at certain times using gemini like the old fido mail BBS system for gemini situations of low bandwidth, bandwidth limits or partial uptime periods of time or different quota/speeds on the connection if self hosting at home or grid down issues -------------- 4. Also whats the best Gemini server progrma to use without systemd, dbus, policykit, java, python, dotnet , snap, flatpak for a low end vps to serve gemlog, gemcast stream and a few picutures ___________________________________ Regards Charliebrownau People's Republic of Australia * charliebrownau@protonmail.com Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. βββββββ Original Message βββββββ On Tuesday, September 28th, 2021 at 11:00 AM, <gemini-request@lists.orbitalfox.eu> wrote: > Send Gemini mailing list submissions to > > gemini@lists.orbitalfox.eu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/listinfo/gemini > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > > gemini-request@lists.orbitalfox.eu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > > gemini-owner@lists.orbitalfox.eu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > > than "Re: Contents of Gemini digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I'd say that none of these are really in-scope for Gemini. A lot of the
things in (2) already exist. For example, I access a couple of NNTP
servers that use TLS. NNTP has its problems, and I'd love to see
something that both modernizes and simplifies it, but that's going to be
its own protocol, not something build on Gemini.

What you want to look into for this is NNCP
(http://www.nncpgo.org/). It is a successor protocol to UUCP, which was
traditionally used for those purposes. Building on top of NNCP is a
really promising approach to any attempt to rethink news and mail.

There are several Gemini servers in C with limited dependencies.
