So I did the writeup for the rationale for opening up my #gopherhole content to web users. It also made me think that in times of restricted/intermittent Internet, any protocol that's lean and mean will help you get your content quicker. Read it at https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20260208-Building+a+Better+Gopherhole.html We also have an RSS feed.

Added a #phrack archive to my #gopherhole.

Enjoy responsibly!

@jbowen as I will get some free time I'll setup a #gopherhole on a cheap VPS.
I prefer gopher because it can be accessed by vintage computers.

Just a quick update today from the gopherhole today...the state of Oklahoma has passed "An Act relating to crimes and punishment; and punishment which relates to cockfighting exemptions; providing an exemption to allow cockfighting with a robot where no harm comes to the fowl". Thank goodness your Represantives have their finger on the pulse of what's really important, and you can continue to organise that robotic cock-fight for NYE!

Updated the links section of my gopher hole (English version) with "Gopher Holes I Enjoy"

After almost 2 days online I can say that Goophy is doing well. I already have my gopherhole with more content online and I made it bilingual English / Spanish but I don't plan to keep 1-1 translations of everything. We will see.

Some screenshots below for showing it up & running. The client used is Lagrange Gemini / Gopher client.

You can visit my gopherhole at gopher://lucio.albenga.es

A new gopher hole and gopher server are born!! 🎉

Finally the first private beta of Goophy is up and running on the Raspberry Pi with NetBSD. You can check it out with your favorite gopher client at:

I promise I'll put more content in the following days, but right now I'm excited to have it online 😅 Let me know if you find any bugs.

Gonna try to get my #GeminiSpace back up and running tonight since I finally spun up a new droplet that I can actually update. Might throw up a #GopherHole too since I've done that before as well.

Nope but I plan to try it at one point. I have tried #gopher and I've got a #gopherhole somewhere. It hasn't been updated in ages. But you know, I like trying unconventional things and approaches.

I'm wondering whether I should set up a #GopherHole on my server🤔 (basically make my website reachable through the #gopher protocol).
I've already done that for the #gemini protocol :)

New entry on my sdf gopherhole phlog. Today I was in reflection mode.

If you ever feel like mastodon is becoming "too mainstream," you can always see my latest toots (is that what these are called?) on my #gopherhole instead. There's a link in my bio.

The less time you have, the more projects you can think of... I think it's a disease, anyway...

I'm converting old programming books into plain text, mostly #Amiga pubblications, but why?

1) The first book weights 24Mb as PDF and only 370Kb as text

2) I want to share them on my #gopherhole and on my #BBS (both not yet public)

3) I want to make them accessible for retro systems with few resources.

4) I'm forced to read them because I fix the text to be 74 chars width.

5) #smallweb

🤟
