@bortzmeyer salut, Je découvre ton article sur #geminiprotocol j'adore le coté bien minimaliste.
Je me demandais si il est possible d'installer le serveur (agate) ou un autre sur un #synology ? Je précise que je bidouille sur #linux depuis longtemps, mais je suis une "quiche" en reseau/server, port forward...
Si tu as des conseils, par avance, merci

My latest story Ticker (flash fiction, medical horror, sci-fi) is now up on my Gemini capsule!

@monterosato : c’est que fait le #geminiprotocol mais sans prétention.
Un réseau conçu pour empêcher le flicage, empêcher la monétisation des vues et interdire toute évolution car il fait ce qu’il doit faire, car un navigateur Gemini doit pouvoir être programmé en un week-end par une personne seule.
Moi, j’adore. (et oui, j’ai même mon propre navigateur)
Mais c’est vraiment très geek ! Ça ne va pas arranger l’image que tes collègues ont de toi ;-)

Parmi les tristes choses que font les gafam: https://xslt.rip/ - je pense de plus en plus que Stiegler avait raison quand il disait qu'il fallait faire un autre web, un autre numérique... ailleurs... ici on se fait bouffer par la bigtech

(I don't dislike gemtext. And I love the idea of a web built on lightweight markup. I would love it if user agents had native support for plain formats like markdown or asciidoc. I even like the #GeminiProtocol. And I see no reason why you shouldn't ship text/gemini over HTTP or HTML over Gemini.)
This, by the way, is part of the same rant. There is absolutely nothing preventing, say, #Firefox from adding support for the #GeminiProtocol and for the gemtext format. It would have been a better time investment for their engineers than the time they wasted adding integration with #LLM chatbots that people now have to waste their time disabling (or removing from the code).
I appreciate that part of the #indieWeb is “running away” from the corporate controlled web in #GeminiSpace, and there are some very interesting idea being developed around there. There's something to be said about not wanting to share your environment with the poison that a large part of the web has become, but at the same time, there's also something to be said about throwing away the baby with the bathwater. The problem with the web isn't technical, it's social. The tech itself is fine.

I'm feeding bots with #FreeBSD. https://j.agrue.info/bot-feeding-on-freebsd.html. Many thanks to https://maurycyz.com/projects/trap_bots/ ! I (think I) improved the software slightly.
Do you know of AI bots using #GeminiProtocol ? Do you know what AI crawlers do and don't do, and what defenses work this week and don't? What are the next moves in what feels like a long game of cat-and-mouse?
@jaredj On the BBS someone wanted to use generative AI to populate Gemini with more content. It was a pointless and stupid idea and it never went anywhere, to my knowledge. Not quite crawling but it shows the AI boosters are there (or at least were) on Gemini too.
For now I think Gemini is only protected by obscurity and that to implement a Gemini crawler would not be profitable for crawling companies.
I haven't yet seen AI crawlers in my server logs that I could identify, but there is even less protection with Gemini than with HTTP because of the protocol. Like you cannot require cookies, and javascript things (captchas, Anubis) won't work either. And because it is plaintext it would be easier for crawlers to ingest as well.
I have been thinking about this and I see three lines of defense for #Geminiprotocol possible:
1) firewall level blocking of crawler ip's
2) Requiring client certificates for simply viewing content
3) For a harsher lockdown require server certificates
Something like Iocaine by @algernon with an SNI-based reverse proxy in front of Capsukes would be also great fun.

Occasionally, I'll see things about #GeminiProtocol, and it seems interesting. How do I get into it? I can't even open links to browse them without a new browser, it seems. I am interested in browsing, and then maybe crossposting blog posts.
Technical knowledge level:
- Just made a basic HTML website on the regular Internet, following a tutorial
- Didn't know what RSS was until a couple years ago
- I skip past most coding toots because they're essentially in a language I don't speak
Relevant accessibility needs:
- Animation hurts me (I have an extension on Firefox that stops it)
- Dark mode also hurts me
Edit: I've downloaded Lagrange and it's working great so far! Thank you to everyone who suggested it!
