@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.
A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.
With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.
@prologic@twtxt.net that seems to match my numbers. are you picking up the few gophers out there?
kinda makes me wonder about the ~300k you have cached. y’all got the library of alexandria over there.
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.
Enough gophering and twtexting for now, taking a break to enjoy the evening

All of my content (including this file) is now on gopher too. gopher://tilde.team/~dgy
@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net yah. the service can have a flag for allowing non-TLS for development. but by default ignores.
are there some users that use alternative protos for twtxt? like ftp/gopher/dnsfs 🤔
Can I interest you in the latest edition of Tales From The Dork Web when it’s about Gopher, Gemini and The Smol Internet? https://thedorkweb.substack.com/p/gopher-gemini-and-the-smol-internet
Thinkin I might quit twtxt and gemini, tidy up a bit,just use tilde club web, or gopher.
Looks good. Next stop: gopher://hex22.org? :-)
@johanbove@johanbove.info After hearing about your Gopher server and seeing a .plan link on your website, I was disappointed to not see a finger daemon running on your server
New post on my Gopher site. Back to updating it once a month.
What I need is to serve gopher and http behind a proxy and under the same domain, in a way that a unique container serves each protocol

Need to fix the infraestructure that lets me serve content via gopher and http. Sometimes https calls go to my gopher server.

Well @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net they way I am serving my content via http and gopher may need some fixing, thanks for the following #twtxt

I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?
Btw. there is a nice BBS reachable via telnet gopher.su 1234 (Extra Plus: It’s running on a Playstation 3)
@kas@enotty.dk I like your gopher server’s formatting, nice and clean and how did you implement the TLS certificate?
@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.
Enjoying the constraints of the Gopher protocol as a minimalistic zen-mode kind of online publishing revival.
@mdom@domgoergen.com The news site at gopher://taz.de:70/ is really cool. How did you make it?
My gopher site is about 38K big - still plenty of space left on the 1.24MB floppy disk

@davebucklin@davebucklin.com Welcome to the IndieWeb! Thanks also for introducing me to #twtxt. Gophering this for sure.
Phlog update: gopher://codevoid.de/0/posts/2019-04-27-manage-dotfiles-with-git.txt (https protocol works too)
Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.
it’s really weird that my most popular medium post thus far this year is a rant about extensions to the gopher protocol

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org: Also, maybe switch to my https url: https://codevoid.de/tw.txt - txtnish can deal with gopher, but it would always fetch the full file even when nothing has changed (gopher doesn’t support HEAD requests). So https might be faster.

@sdk@codevoid.de Although i’m a gopher fanboy, I wouldn’t use it for twtxt. It’s really a optimal fit.
@sdk@codevoid.de You don’t even need the HEAD, you can just GET the twtfile with a If-Modified-Since header.
@sdk@codevoid.de Great! Though i don’t see any metadata on your feed?
