And we have liftoff! I have a gemini capsule now.

If you already have a gemini client enter in the following address:

gemini://gemini.lottalinuxlinks.com

Gemini is a new privacy-respecting internet protocol that seeks to
fill the space between the web and gopher. It is still new to me, so I
am just getting into it; but @Samsai, has a really good post about
what makes gemini intriguing.

Much like gopher, except way more modern, you will need a gemini
client to view gemini content.

Here is a list of clients, proxies, and servers that can be used with
gemini.

If you don’t have a gemini client yet, you can use the gemini portal
to access gemini capsules with a web browser.

There isn’t a lot of information on the web about it, but Project
Gemini, and of course wikipedia, have a little more information if you
are interested in learning more.
