🖥️ Three protocols that have their own ecosystems, their own communities, and their own aesthetics:

finger://
gopher://
gemini://

🗓️ Two predate the World Wide Web entirely, but one was created in 2019

đźš« None of them require a GUI

đźš« None of them require JavaScript

🖥️ All three of them run in a terminal

Gemini, Gophers, and Fingers. Oh My! Alternative Internets Beyond HTTPS

Finger from 1971, Gopher from 1991, and Gemini from 2019. These protocols offer decentralized, terminal-based alternatives to the modern web. The small web's is in a renaissance. On the solarpunk philosophy of intentional technology, and how these protocols meet you where you are, whether you're on a machine from 2005 or just tired of Chrome's monoculture.

Built a custom Raspberry Pi 4 RT OS using Buildroot.

Manually downloaded the Raspberry kernel (6.12.61) and PREEMPT_RT patch (6.12.57), applied locally and produced a bootable SD.

It works.

No GUI, CLI tools only, deterministic boot and real-time behavior.

In KOrganizer, you can also create todo's which also is supported by CalDav. So I want to use it as well. But like good unix design, khal does not support that. Instead I need to use a different task manager which is not available on OpenSuse Tumbleweed...
I struggled to find this package on OpenSuse. I did not feel like actually building it from scratch. Surely, there are alternatives, but without CalDav support.
I might just stick with KOrganizer for now. #nogui

I am running a caldav server. It has 1 calendar of 1 user. I try to sync this across multiple devices and applications. On the laptop I have KOrganizer and khal. It was quite easy to setup in KOrganizer in comparison to khal. After failure with authentications, I finally got it to work. However, it comes with a disadvantage, I need to sync it constantly. I have not put it in a cron job.I guess that's the good and bad part of it. I still need see if this can replace KOrganizer in my case #nogui

Replacing your application with applications in CLI/TUI. I thought this was an interesting experiment and something I would like to try as well. It seems doable, but with every illusion, I am probably up for a rude awakening.

Let's start with calendars and todo lists. I am starting my holidays and need to be sure to plan my days to not waste days resting or worse, scrolling mindlessly on YouTube. Here I started with khal, vdirsyncer and caldav. #nogui

🔥 It’s here.
BashCoreT — the first CLI-only live ISO built on Debian 13 “Trixie” (Hard Freeze), featuring Linux 6.12 + PREEMPT_RT.

Minimal. Lightning fast. Realtime-ready.
No GUI. No noise. Just pure terminal power for advanced users, pentesters, and system engineers.

⚠️ Trixie isn’t stable yet. BashCoreT is for those who know what they’re doing.

Testing BashCore's stability.
This week, I'm running a continuous 7-day uptime test on BashCore: #noGUI, minimal setup, real usage.

6 terminals, 6 tasks:

- htop

- tshark (live capture)

- ping (via proxychains + Tor)

- msfconsole

- stress loop: while true; do echo ""; sleep 5; done

- stress-ng --cpu 1 --cpu-load 15 --timeout 7d

Running on an old Acer Aspire One (D160) with 2 GB RAM with NordVPN installed.

No disk writes. No frills. Just to see if it holds.
