Talked to some colleagues at work today about the #gopher protocol. So lovely to see the expression on their face being like: #WAT?

# Announcing decoded.legal, gopher-edition

Always keen to stay at the forefront of modern technology, you can now access much of the information on the decoded.legal website through the gopher protocol.

To do this:

* install a `gopher` client
* access the gopherhole using `gopher decoded.legal`

Why? I felt like it.

Getting real reviews for things is increasingly difficult.

I find myself pining for things outside the whole web-advertising landscape. Not something inside an AI-advertising landscape either, but...

I'm ready for more #Gemini and #Gopher sites!

Or, to be sure, more personal websites, written by humans with a passion for things. We used to have those! We even had #blogs ! I still have both of those, in fact.

Are there hosted solutions or public hosts for Gopher servers? Is self hosting the only option these days?

I have no need for a Gopher server but I'm curious.

#gopher

@kelbot Then there was #Gopher. There was something freeing about its structure, you know? A document is a document, a menu is a menu, and a search box is a search box, and they are different things. I built a WAP/WML (let's see how many people remember THAT) frontend to Gopher back in the early 2000s and that was pretty cool. Gemini is a nice successor, though if you're going to have in-document hyperlinks, might as well make linkable text while you're at it, I figure.

I've been surfing Gopher sites for the last few minutes using Lynx as the browser. My very first forays into the Internet were gopher sites accessed via the Internet gateway of my dial-up BBS back in the early to mid 1990s.

If you are under 30 that probably all sounds like Klingon to you.

Shoutout to @82mhz for the link that started me down this rabbit hole. And now I very much want to set up a Gopher site somewhere.

Also, I found this lovely old school hosting provider on a gopher site.

Cl-gopher is a Common Lisp library that implements the server and client sides of the Gopher protocol, as well as a sample text client. An easy to understand and well designed example of using CLOS.

Amin Bandali gopher://kelar.org/1/~bandali/https://kelar.org/~bandali/ of #emacsconf / GNU

I expect to talk about #emacsconf #smallnet #smallweb #gopher #software packaging,

viz #emacs/conf @eduardoochs ' eev and @ramin_hal9001 's view of emacs' linux-app-platform

Lots of things. I want to know what Amin's @corwin's-dungeon-mode is.

Two questions about hacker communities

No se uds, pero ayer mi di cuenta que #Gopher (el protocolo) tiene como nombre al sitio de uno como un hoyo porque la traducción del inglés es ardilla terrestre, que creo será topos aquí en Argentina. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher

#climateCrisis #haiku from @kentpitman

This week, DJ @damaru of the Evolution Revolution will talk, including about using emacs as a #writer.

I will share my #eev mode experience, and @eduardoochs should be in #emacsconf on IRC.

I'm going to mention incredible show artist @prahou with reference to gef's last episode.
