Simplify your web experience with this internet protocol alternative
|
||||
======
|
||||
Discover new corners of a quieter and simpler internet with the Gemini
|
||||
Protocol.
|
||||
![Person typing on a 1980's computer][1]
|
||||
|
||||
If you've been on the internet for a very long time or you're just very resourceful, you might remember an early text-sharing protocol called [Gopher][2]. Gopher was eventually displaced by the HTTP protocol, which of course is the basis for the modern World Wide Web. For many people, the "internet" and the "World Wide Web" are the same thing, because many people don't consciously do anything online that's _not_ on the www subdomain.
|
||||
|
||||
But there have always been a variety of network protocols to share information over an interconnected network: Telnet, FTP, SSH, Torrent, GNUnet, and many more. Recently, there's been an addition to this collection of alternatives, and it's called [Gemini][3].
|
||||
|
||||
The Gemini protocol, named after the space mission between the rudimentary experiments of Project Mercury and Project Apollo, is meant to sit peacefully between Gopher and HTTP. It doesn't aim to replace the modern web, by any means, but it does try to create both a simplified web and a modernized Gopher.
|
||||
|
||||
This development, young though it may be, is significant for many reasons. People take issue with the modern web, of course, for reasons spanning the technical and the philosophical, but it's also just plain bloated. A million hits from a Google search can feel like overkill when all you really want is one reliable answer to a very specific question.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people use Gopher for this very reason: it's small enough to allow for niche interests that are easy to find. However, Gopher is an old protocol that makes assumptions about programming, networking, and browsing that just aren't applicable anymore. Gemini aims to bring the best of the web to a format that approximates Gopher but is easy to program for. A simple Gemini browser can be written in a few hundred lines of code, and there's a very good one written in about 1,600 lines. That's a powerful feature for programmers, students, and minimalists alike.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to browse Gemini
|
||||
|
||||
Like the early web, Gemini is small enough that there is a list of known servers running Gemini sites. Just as browsing an HTTP site requires a web browser, accessing a Gemini site requires a Gemini browser. There are already several available, listed on the [Gemini website][4].
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest one to run is the [AV-98][5] client. It's written in Python and runs in a terminal. To try it out, download it:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
`$ git clone https://tildegit.org/solderpunk/AV-98.git`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Change directory into the downloaded directory and run AV-98:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd AV-98.git
|
||||
$ python3 ./main.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The client is an interactive prompt. It has limited commands, and the main one is simply `go` followed by a Gemini server address. Go to the list of known [Gemini servers][6], select one that seems interesting, and try visiting it:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AV-98> go gemini://example.club
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to the example.club Gemini server!
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some folders of ASCII art:
|
||||
|
||||
[1] Penguins
|
||||
[2] Wildebeests
|
||||
[3] Demons
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Navigation is a matter of following numbered links. For instance, to navigate to the Penguins directory, enter `1` and press Enter:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AV-98> 1
|
||||
|
||||
[1] Gentoo
|
||||
[2] Emperor
|
||||
[3] Little Blue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To go back, type `back` and press Enter:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
`AV-98> back`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more commands, just enter `help`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Gemini as your web alternative
|
||||
|
||||
The Gemini protocol is simple enough for beginner-level and intermediate programmers to write clients for, and it's an easy and quick way to share content on the internet. While the World Wide Web's ubiquity is advantageous for widespread distribution, there's always room for alternatives. Check out Gemini and discover new corners of a quieter and simpler internet.

使用此互联网协议替代方案简化你的 Web 体验
|
||||
======
|
||||
用 Gemini 协议发现更安静、更简单的互联网新角落。
|
||||
![Person typing on a 1980's computer][1]
|
||||
|
||||
如果你已经上网了很长时间，或者只是了解很多，你可能还记得一个早期的文本共享协议，叫做 [Gopher][2]。Gopher 最终被 HTTP 协议所取代，当然，HTTP 协议是现代万维网的基础。对于很多人来说，”互联网“和”万维网“是一回事，因为很多人并不会有意识地做_不_在 www 子域下的事情。
|
||||
|
||||
但一直以来，都有各种网络协议在互联网络上共享信息。Telnet、FTP、SSH、Torrent、GNUnet 等等。最近，在这一系列的替代品中又多了一个，它叫 [Gemini][3]。
|
||||
|
||||
Gemini 协议，以”水星计划“和”阿波罗计划“的基础实验之间的太空任务命名，旨在和平地处在 Gopher 和 HTTP 之间。无论如何，它的目的并不是要取代现代 Web，但它确实试图创造一个简化的网络和一个现代化的 Gopher。
|
||||
|
||||
它的发展虽然可能很年轻，但意义重大，原因有很多。当然，人们会因为技术和哲学上的原因而对现代 Web 表示质疑，但它只是一般的臃肿。当你真正想要的是一个非常具体的问题的可靠答案时，那么无数次点击谷歌搜索的结果让人感觉过头了。
|
||||
|
||||
许多人使用 Gopher 就是因为这个原因：它的规模小到可以让小众的兴趣很容易找到。然而，Gopher 是一个旧的协议，它对编程、网络和浏览做出了一些假设，但这些假设已经不再适用了。 Gemini 的目标是将最好的网络带入一种类似于 Gopher 但易于编程的格式。一个简单的 Gemini 浏览器可以用几百行代码写成，并且有一个非常好的浏览器用 1600 行左右写成。这对于程序员、学生和极简主义者来说都是一个强大的功能。
|
||||
|
||||
### 如何浏览 Gemini
|
||||
|
||||
就像早期的网络一样，Gemini 的规模很小，有一个运行 Gemini 网站的已知服务器列表。就像浏览 HTTP 站点需要一个网页浏览器一样，访问 Gemini 站点也需要一个 Gemini 浏览器。已经有几个可用的，在 [Gemini 网站][4]上列出。
|
||||
|
||||
最简单的一个是 [AV-98][5] 客户端。它是用 Python 编写的，在终端中运行。要想试试的话，请下载它：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
`$ git clone https://tildegit.org/solderpunk/AV-98.git`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
进入下载目录，运行 AV-98：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd AV-98.git
|
||||
$ python3 ./main.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
客户端是一个交互式的提示。它有有限的几个命令，主要的命令是简单的 `go`，后面跟着一个 Gemini 服务器地址。进入已知的 [Gemini 服务器][6]列表，选择一个看起来很有趣的服务器，然后尝试访问它：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AV-98> go gemini://example.club
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to the example.club Gemini server!
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some folders of ASCII art:
|
||||
|
||||
[1] Penguins
|
||||
[2] Wildebeests
|
||||
[3] Demons
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
导航是按照编号的链接来进行的。例如，要进入 Penguins 目录，输入 `1` 然后按回车键：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AV-98> 1
|
||||
|
||||
[1] Gentoo
|
||||
[2] Emperor
|
||||
[3] Little Blue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
要返回，输入 `back` 并按回车键：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
`AV-98> back`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
更多命令，请输入 `help`。
|
||||
|
||||
### Gemini 作为你的 web 替代
|
||||
|
||||
Gemini 协议非常简单，初级和中级程序员都可以为其编写客户端，而且它是在互联网上分享内容的一种简单快捷的方式。虽然万维网的无处不在对广泛传播是有利的，但总有替代方案的空间。看看 Gemini，发现更安静、更简单的互联网的新角落。
