@prologic@twtxt.net It’s called “cgod” and it isn’t written in C or Go? I want my money back…
I also like Gopher more than Gemini. The problem Gemini is trying to solve is better solved by just writing static HTML 4.01 pages.
@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.
Z7 is a new CC0-licensed 6x7 monospaced typeface for uxn environments. It’s designed to be an alternative to the specter8-frag font used in various uxn tools https://sectordisk.pw/?sectors&s=1958 gopher://sectordisk.pw:70/0/cgi-bin/sector.cgi?1958

Twtxt is still very much alive and well. I just wrote a quick tool to crawl as much of the Twtxt network as I could and here's what the results are:

@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.

I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux and @xuu I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

@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.
btw my main feed is on gopher now too gopher://tilde.team/0/~dgy/twtxt.txt
@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.

New post on my Gopher site. Back to updating it once a month.
@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
Updated my daily journal at gopher://gopher.johanbove.info:70/notes

@davebucklin@davebucklin.com Welcome to the IndieWeb! Thanks also for introducing me to #twtxt. Gophering this for sure.
@reednj@twtxt.reednj.com @mdom@domgoergen.com @durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de gopher doesn’t have zombo.com
Over the course of my life up to this point, I’ve not spent as much time using and thinking about gopher as I have today.
