That's because I usually do my family video call on the 3rd Sunday of a month. :-) Let's do it! Plan for our FreeDOS virtual get-together for NEXT SUNDAY, August 27 at 11am US/Central. (Use your favorite timezone converter to find your local time.) We usually alternate topics every month (technical v social) but we didn't get to meet last month - so this meeting will be focused on "technical." As usual, I'll share the URL here on the email list (and the website, and Facebook, and Mastodon) shortly before the meeting starts. We'll use BlueJeans, which you can use via a web browser (they recommend Chrome) although you may see a video lag. We find you get better performance if you download the (free) desktop client. Also: BlueJeans has announced they will be closing down, sometime in the "first half of 2024." So I'm starting to look again at other video meeting options, for the few times that I need to do remote workshops for my consulting practice. (Most of my work in the last year has been in-person.) We might experiment with some of these later this year. :-) ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Well, I did not known much Gopher (that seems to have come down in popularity at the end of the nineties). I think Gemini is about middle ground between Gopher and HTML. Gemini seems to be Unicode (rather than ASCII), have 3 text heading levels (seems Gopher had none), have list and preformated text regions (that Gopher have, did not have). The fact also that carrier returns are respected in gemini-text, make it much more easier to create/format than HTML (comparing to the web rather than Gopher here). Contrary to HTML also, no stuff in the middle of text: links, change to bold, etc. Only links on full lines. It is probably this simplified HTML, but not to the point of Gopher, that make it interesting today. About TLS, seems most capsules (term for Gemini sites I was searching for in my previous message) are using self-signed certificates. Meaning, you know that the author is the same as last time you visited (unsure how well the gemini clients handled certificates history)... just not sure it is really who he claims to be. (My knowledge about TLS is relatively limited). ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Online Get-together
We haven't scheduled the August get-together, and today I have another video call at that time (family call). However, how about a virtual get-together *next Sunday*, August 27?
