Hello Geminaut, I wonder if trying to limite the non human and individual human internet bandwidth usage, could be good for the planet? Way to do this could be: - no more than 1 req/s from one IP - explicit autorisation for crawler with a maximum of req/day How to manage multi-user http2gemini gateway? freD. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Software are more and more bloated too. I read a news this morning about using python script into web page for client side execution to replace javascript... Reading the paper I saw that it is javascript code that interprete python code !!

To my knowledge, no server yet supports configuring this, but I do plan to add it to Molly Brown and have been thinking of simple ways to implement it. Anyway, that would be the obvious way to do this. I fully understand and appreciate the issue and motivation, and want to be mindful of the issue, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that things like Gemini and Gopher are, by default and without any special effort, orders of magnitude less resource intensive than most of the modern internet.
