#gopher #Linux
Ieri esploravo, anzi scoprivo, la vecchia web, cioè gopher space. Volevo dire a tutt* che non mi sentivo una gioia così dagli anni '90 mid. Ho gia chiesto ad un mio amico a Vienna se sia possibile installare un gopher daemon. Ricordate quando si doveva imparar un po dell'HTML e FTP per farsi una web page?

Is there a good browser available for Android for exploring #gopher (and possibly also #gemini) space?

Wrote a #blog post about #gopher and #gemini and adding it to my #rss reading of blogs and news.

Gopher or bust

Lately I've been enjoying reading gopher and gemini sites. It reminds me how lost I would get for hours on Geocities or various personal websites in the 90's...

I wrote a gopher web server in uxntal!
(disclaimer: run at your own risk, see below)

introducing… gopher-serv.tal :D

it's the bare minimum: no automatic directory listings, no error pages, and sandboxing is enforced by the emulator(!!)

but what it does have, is 201 bytes of gopher-serving goodness :D

src: https://codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher-serv.tal
emu: https://codeberg.org/notchoc/uxn2
run: uxn2 -N gopher-serv.rom ADDRESS

!!! DISCLAIMER: DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TO THE INTERNET !!! UXN2 DOES NOT HAVE SANDBOXING (YET) AND ALSO I DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEES ABOUT SECURITY

As I play around with #gopher more, I keep looking for browsers that can support it natively. Retrozilla does so entirely by accident, it seems.

Once I started playing around with Retrozilla some more, I discovered it had the Chatzilla IRC client installed. I keep a hyperlink to my IRC channel on my website, so I figured what the hell, I'll try it on Retrozilla.

Sure enough it logs into the IRC server and gets into my channel as intended. What an absolute delight.

Hey pals, I have a neat update for you all. My #gopher server has been up for a while and I finally migrated it to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Want to know more? Well I wrote a phlog post about it on gopher://w4nrr.servebeer.com

It’s funny how the LLM filled web is starting to cure my Web addiction. (according to my #offpunk archives, 35-40% of my online reading is now #gemini or #gopher )

It is also ironic how I’m now heavily relying on @kagihq to avoid slop, a tool/service founded by AI enthusiasts !
