+i've recently thought about maybe going no gui on my laptop, basically just using tui apps. of course this wouldn't work for all things, like visiting bank websites and such - but you get the point.
+
+this is because i kinda wanna see how much of my laptop usage can be from the terminal instead of using gui apps all the time. maybe a future post for this about me testing it for a month? :eyes:
+
+thinking about this brought me back to discovering [the gemini protcol](https://geminiprotocol.net/) back in 2024, which i finally took the time to test out the past week. for those who don't know, the gemini protocol is _"a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents"_.[^1]
+
+it feels like a little miniture web, like [the small web](/blog/the-internet-is-fun-again) - just even smaller! i love how browsing feels; simple, clean, and smaller. you decide whether you want to view an image or not. pop up ads? no way. pop up shorts?! hell no. (yes it's an actual thing on [some websites](https://www.bustle.com/))
+
+it's so refreshing.
+
+there's some cool projects on there already. a well known project, [The Konpeito Tapes (mirror)](gemini://gem.chiajlingvoj.ynh.fr/konpeito/konpeito_media_mirror.gmi), was a quarterly lo-fi hip hip & chill bootleg mixtapes that was distributed exlusively through the Gemini protocol. how cool is that?! it even got games! i tried out the [geography puzzle game](gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/witw.cgi) while testing it the first time and this alone could actually make me make the move alone lol.
+
+i might create a gemini capsule of my website sometime in the future, as it seems to be something i actually want to keep using.
+
+[here's a quickstart guide](http://geminiquickst.art/) if you wanna check it out yourself!
