Going Dark: Looking for the End of the Internet, Part 3: The Gemini Project
cheapskatesguide.org
This continues my on-going exploration of 1) lesser-known places on the Internet, 2) computer networks that can be reached via the Internet with additional software (e.g. darknets), and 3) networks that may someday evolve into the next Internet or Internets. This week's topic is the Gemini Project.

“Gemini Project” refers to a new network protocol and document format created by open source enthusiasts - it has nothing to do with Google.

I found this article from 2020 (shortly after the launch of the Gemini Project) interesting.

    Specialists are usually boring, that is good, it means they aren’t just superficial hype guys just trying to dumb things down to get attention. To make them interesting, you need to ask good questions and to care about the answers you will get.

      Oh yeah, I agree. Though there are some exceptions of specialists who are also great storytellers too and can get you interested in anything, and then there are super generalists who get into rabbit holes and can connect niche concepts across multiple fields in unexpected and cool ways.
