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 !

@someodd Two points for the un-gopher-knowledgeable.

gopher+ was proposed https://github.com/jgoerzen/pygopherd/blob/master/doc/standards/Gopher%2B.txt . Where gopher specified a gophermap put a CRLF, gopher+ allowed a <tab>+CRLF to indicate gopher+.

Gopher+ queries are like
specifier<tab>$+metadata-I-want-one+metadata-I-want-two+..<CRLF>

for some compulsory but also arbitrary metadata "blocks" or just $ for 'all of them'.

vs gopher's

specifier<CRLF>

Request for comment: vision for content publishing on Gopher.

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

Evert Pot: Burrow, a new Gopher client in the browser. “After building a gopher server and website, I couldn’t quite get enough of the Gopher bug, and decided to build a Gopher client in the browser. To be honest, this is actually more like a HTTP proxy for Gopher, but I might at some point turn this into a standalone client or even port it to some native platforms.” Those of y’all old enough […]

Hey @evert I love Burrow! Just wanted to let you know the Gopherpedia link is throwing an error. The other links seem to be okay.

Thanks for your work!
