The archaeo-librarian concluded the speech with another warning, “so always remember that the ancients had to structure most of their work along a timeline, in nice chunks that they could post on the social media and feeds and newsletters of their time. A very limited way to structure to work with, for sure, but that’s what they had and so we must keep this in mind.”

The Long Range Comms Engineer shrugged. "It is true, many capsules can be found in Transjovian space. The main problem is that they are not inhabited. Otherwise we'd see their traffic on the great Antenna, no? But we do not.

The Simulation Coordinator and Zone Separation Enforcer Captain returned with rolling eyes from that meeting. "You know what they said? They said that this framework we're using is faulty. There's this other test package called 'gemini-diagnostics' which was used in the old days to verify whether implementations were any good and it seems that our simulation fails the test because this Perl language thing doesn't send a TLS close_notify signal. Does it it or doesn't it? And is it because of Mojo::IOLoop and it's TLS integration, or IO::Socket::SSL, or Net::SSLeay? Who can explain this arcane nonsense to me? Call one of those Archaeo-Librarians with a scripting language tag. Now!"

The Simulation Uptime Coordinator looked back in exasperation. "I know, these capsules are hosted by the same person, on the same site, using the same software, but they are very different! These capsules are single-user sites, as hard as that might be to comprehend. Do not look at me, I don't know why these people want to refuse the help of others. Those old times people did not trust other people, think." – gemini://transjovian.org/phoebe/page/Capsules

The Autonomous Research Assistant Second Class was watching the output of the Archive Processor, following interesting leads whenever something promising showed up. “Using git as a building block for the sneaker net, huh? What ever became of that?” He started following leads. A discussion of RFC 8142 and how URNs could be used to link to files in other repositories without domain names. He started looking for resolution services where people would submit repos and the service indexed all the hashes in it. Given a hash, it would then know the URL. Definitely something to talk about with the Git Protocol Tech Librarian on the next shift.

“Boss, boss, remember that site in the archives that appears to implement every single protocol? I just discovered that in the early third millenium they even had an implementation of the rare Spartan protocol! Look at it: spartan spartan://alexschroeder.ch – check it out, I’ve set it up in our early Internet emulator.” The young Early Digital Communications Protocol Technician positively beamed with happiness. The Subaltern Digital Simulatinos Librarian chuckled and thought, ‘Crazy! How can these silly discoveries make them so happy. I shall have to reward this young one with a recommendation to some Archive Studies course later this rotation.’

The Research Assistant Third Class chuckled in his corner. The supervisor called him out, "What is it that amuses you so, young one?" The assistant managed a coherent answer: "Madam! I was studying these fail2ban instructions. They seem to indicate the beginnings of the Butlerian Jihad in Gemini Space. It's amazing how convoluted the ancient infrastructure was. Did they do this on purpose?" The superintendend was bored already. "Go ask the Head Archaeo-Librarian at the Net Vault, I'm sure you'll get your answer there." gemini://transjovian.org/gemini/page/fail2ban

"I hate this mess! I really do! The ancients could not keep stuff in one place, and whenever somebody complained, the solution inevitably involves yet another place to keep stuff." The junior Engineer of Archaeo-Library Science was fuming. I had just pointed out to him that there was a community wiki dedicated to Gemini. You could mount it as a WebDAV server. You could use the Titan protocol. But in the end, it was just yet another place, there was no denying it. gemini://transjovian.org/gemini

“Intruder alert! Intruder alert!” The red lights are flashing and I’m scrambling for the locker where my fighting sticks are. I grab my gear and as the combat armor wraps itself around me, I see the reports scrolling across the visor. It’s them bots again. They are relentless and fast and they wear you down unless you have defence in depth. Later that day, Chief of Security Protocols invites us all for feedback on his update.

Our superior Team Historical Contact was in the Silent Dome talking to the Head of Station Security Auditing. "I know this is a strange question to ask. But I just noticed that Station systems don't seem to have a way of updating our records. Our junior recently ran into this as they were trying to fix mistakes. And what happens when we fire them? Do we keep their records?"

The Head of Station Security Auditing sighed. "Why are you making it this complicated? Are you trying to sabotage operations? Are you mistrustful of Station Command and Control?"

"No. Of course not."

In the bowls of the station there's a lab that calls itself The Historical Protocol Lab which used to be big about old transmission and storage formats. These days they are struggling with the various ways in which the WebDAV protocol was implemented back in the dirtside days. Chief Engineer of Unicode is cursing the retro implementation the junior Developer of Minimal Solutions provided, since it doesn't handle encoding correctly. "The filenames are encoded, too, junior!"
