Gday
1.
I would love to see newsgroup rival
for news (textural), low bandwidth photos/pics and low bandwidth files (podcasts,recipies, wood working/3d printing plans)
2.I would like to see secure
IRCS , FTPS, newsgroupS and fingerS come back
without bloated http web, corporations, , centralised cloud servers ,
subverive elements
I'd say that none of these are really in-scope for Gemini. A lot of thethings in (2) already exist. For example, I access a couple of NNTPservers that use TLS. NNTP has its problems, and I'd love to seesomething that both modernizes and simplifies it, but that's going to beits own protocol, not something build on Gemini.
3. Also has anyone dissussed a method to transfer email in bulk at certain times using gemini like the old fido mail BBS system
for gemini situations of low bandwidth, bandwidth limits
or partial uptime periods of time or different quota/speeds on the connection if self hosting at home or grid down issues
What you want to look into for this is NNCP(http://www.nncpgo.org/). It is a successor protocol to UUCP, which wastraditionally used for those purposes. Building on top of NNCP is areally promising approach to any attempt to rethink news and mail.
4.
Also whats the best Gemini server progrma to use
without systemd, dbus, policykit, java, python, dotnet
, snap, flatpak
for a low end vps to serve gemlog, gemcast stream
and a few picutures
There are several Gemini servers in C with limited dependencies.
