The stigmatization of Gopher:// has unclear roots for me, as does the browser-level removal of its support. Why do globalists oppose gopher:// in every possible way, but not ftp?

The problem with gopher:// is that it is discriminated against, unlike ftp . People with globalist-washed brains somehow believe that they are complicit in progress, and gopher is some kind of deviation.

whaaaat. how did i get here? last time I used gopher/veronica/etc was in the mid 90s, in the Temple University computer labs. Probably on a DEC Ultrix Unix account

Welcome Gopher - Welcome HOME !

For Gopher:// exist a lot bunch solutions for Windows, stop raping Internet Explorer :)

I only have internet explorer 6. Therein gopher not blocked.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, well, it’s a bit like twtxt. There is a Gopher community, but it’s small. I actually don’t like that HTTP is so easily accessible. I don’t like it that much when people post links to my site on HackerNews or something like that. Too much exposure.

Gopher is a small world. It’s slow and cozy.

And much like twtxt, the protocol is simple®, so it’s easier to tinker with it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?

Gopher and Mastodon are two completely different things. That’s where my confusion comes from.

@bender@twtxt.net Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to “babble”. 😅 I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesn’t really work for me. It’s too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (I’m not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons don’t really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).

I’ll probably keep reading Fedi stuff, I just won’t post that much, I think.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how does Gopher relates to Mastodon? Are you getting off the Fedi completely?

Gopher server is back online and I’ll be phasing out Mastodon.

gopher://uninformativ.de

(No, I won’t do multi-protocol twtxt again. 😅)

hello_gopher!_just_like_the_other_anon_said_its_summer_and_everyone_is_out_enjoying_our_time

It feels like all the people have suddenly disappeared from Gopher.

When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:

“Should I use GPL, which I don’t really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product … and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? I’m not going to do that anyway, so I’ll just use the MIT license.”

And now we have those LLM scrapers and now it’s suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didn’t expect that back then.

GPL wouldn’t help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)

I’m honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.

(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)

I’m just tired.

if we got gopher holes, we need a protocol named ass, for assholes.

Evil gopher forces

Hello fellow gopherites! Show of hands: how many of you have your own gopher hole?

In english: lynx gopher://gopher.rbfh.de/1/Bible

On termux you can use telnet, lynx and netcat (command nc) to reach gopher servers.

@e8959 Gopher is thriving in the underground scene! rimshot I use it a lot for little tasks. The Archive.org interface on Gopher is sweet.

i’m using netcat installed on an android phone as a gopher client rn lol

Gopher is great

My favorit browser fir gopher is overbite for android from gopher.floodgap.com or DiggieDog from Google Apps.

Gopher browser (not a client) for all Windows starting with XP. Do not suffer http://shibboleths.org/roman/index.html

What’s your go-to Gopher client?

Some gopher browsers handle type i and spaces better than others.

Hi gopher folks. Glad to see you all checking in.

Want to revive Gopher? Just store your public files in gopher: // it’s simlpe

Atualizaei meu gopher com um passo a passo para compartilhar a tela no sway: gopher://vaporhole.xyz/1/~orahcio

I feel like Gopher would look great on an e-ink screen. Too bad I’m terrified of borking my e-reader while trying to mod it.

@prologic@twtxt.net OH SHIT using this for a protocol like gopher is smart! might have to try that for gemini so i don’t have to keep a port open for that

@bender@twtxt.net Sure! 👍

Glad gopher is alive!

What’s gossip, gopher fishers? :)

Good enening gopher gang. Whats 1 good thing that happened today?

Is this thing on? I didn’t know gopher could accept text submissions…

it’s+funny+how+old+phones+don’t+support+gopher

If you have an old phone with a browser able for http, you can look at gopher sites by using the gopher portal http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?

Gopher is hero!

Gopher is heroine

Gopher holes are not on the web, they are in gopher space

are gopher holes not websites? they’re on the web after all

Haiku gets new malloc implementation, removes Gopher support from its browser
We’ve got the Haiku activity report covering February, and aside from the usual slew of bug fixes and minor improvements, there’s one massive improvement that deserves attention. waddlesplash continued his ongoing memory management improvements, fixes, and cleanups, implementing more cases of resizing (expanding/shrinking) memory areas when there’s a virtual memory reservation a … ⌘ Read more

This is a Gopher hole, not a website.

I like gopher so far. Probably gonna increment the amount of gopher servers by 1 soon. Could also make custom client and server software for it, since it’s so simple.

RSS for Gopher? Never seeeeeeeee

Also, does anyone know a decent RSS reader that supports gopher:? I primarily use Newsboat, but it says the gopher: URI scheme is unsupported.
