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

From #Gopher and #usenet to #tiktok and #chatgpt

I'm tired boss.

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.

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 !

Request for comment: vision for content publishing on Gopher.

If Gopher had won, we wouldn't be using web-metaphors.
