Did I lose you? :)
While setting up my HTPC, the last thing I wanted was a desktop youtube app. Found this - https://freetubeapp.io/
Supposed to be Beta but on the KDE Discover app for finding software, it has 200 reviews and 5.0 stars. You can subscribe to channels without being signed in to youtube/google. Looks similar to youtube but no ads, no cookies, no tracking.
Ubuntu/Linux version is working flawlessly so far for me. One feature I really like is Full Window as opposed to Full Screen. I don't mind full screen for watching a movie but I generally don't like how it takes over and you can't even get to your menu. They have FreeTube for Win/MAC too.
I looked over Gemini and watched a short video about it but didn't spend more than 15 minutes and never did visit this -https://www.obsessivefacts.com/gemini-proxy
To be honest, I speed read your post and didn't catch that the http address connects to gemini addresses and that the gemini links below that could all be accessed from the proxy. Pretty cool.
My first thought with gemini was, no images on a page? Why not? Since I've built some websites for other people, I quickly remembered that some people want 20 images on a single page and will send you 10 mb images straight off their digital camera.
Just installed Lagrange to check it out.

I don't mind full screen for watching a movie but I generally don't like how it takes over and you can't even get to your menu. With full window, you still have a title bar and access to your menu but can maximize the window for almost full screen. They have FreeTube for Win/MAC too.

That internet in a box is not what I thought it was. You install it on the latest raspberry Pi OS or latest Linux. I'm always looking for a use for these old Thinkpads I have. Never cared for any of the small Linux distros and most won't work with any new apps. That includes gemini clients evidently, unless you go with a terminal version as opposed to GUI. Lagrange is for 64 bit and half of my old laptops are 32 bit. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)#Software
Have you seen LibreWolf browser? Tor, Brave and LibreWolf are the three most secure browsers and LibreWolf is based on Firefox which I prefer over Chromium based.
