Are there any protocols that could be used with (say) Gemini for capsules that are not always online ?
Gemtext-over-DNS (GoD): base64-encoded gemlogs served as TXT records. :)
A more feasible idea is for Gemini and Gopher clients to keep localarchives of visited pages, so that they can be accessed when servers aredown. This was suggested by Solderpunk in:
gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space:70/0/~solderpunk/phlog/the-individual-archivist-and-ghosts-of-gophers-past.txt
Locally archived pages can also be versioned, as in git, so visitors cansee the diff when a previously accessed page changes. Amfora allowssubscribing to pages (it fetches them periodically and notifies you whenthey change); this feature would work well together with a versionedlocal archive.
To echo some other suggestions:- with something like geminitrack, you can save entire capsules in gempub format for offline reading;- resilience against servers going down is one of the main goals of IPFS.
