Wherein the cromulence of gemini is considered: by no means perfect, but already a nice fit. It seems about right. Links are on their own line!
The modern web was (and remains) not very comfortable on OpenBSD; perhaps this had much to do with the 2011 lenovo being not performant, nor really the 2009 macbook when measured against all that progress the web has made. Now, in 2022, with a modern system, it is rather mysterious why a single page displaying a static table with about 30 rows in it should cause a CPU fan to spin up on account of ongoing work for several of the CPU cores. What Andy giveth...
Tooling for gemini is easy, especially if one already has tools not tied to a particular browser, and has need to map various aliases to URL or directories to URL. The rest of the ecosystem needs more study, but there appear to be a goodly number of command line clients and libraries and nice servers to choose from.

Meanwhile, a website helpfully changed the link gemini://thrig.me into https://gemini/thrig.me. I mean, what else is there besides the web?
