Gemini is a minimalist and modern document transportation protocol. This talk dives into how Gemini works, reading the actual Gemini spec and a basic implementation of a Gemini server.


Gemini is a minimalist and modern document transportation protocol created by Solderpunk in in 2019, aiming for the maximal power-to-weight ratio. And have gained traction by computation minimalists. Now there are a dedicated small community of Gemini users. This talk dives into the Gemini documentation protocol and the "Gemtext" hypertext specification. And how one might write their own Gemini client and server.

Gemini although simple, is piratical and used. Serving as a gateway into working with the more complicated IETF RFC

Systems software, HPC, GPGPU and AI. I mostly build AI libraries and occasionally stupid code in C++.
