Gibt noch keine richtigen Inhalte, aber wer einen Gopher-Client hat: gopher.molthagen.de, Port 70.

Warum heutzutage noch Gopher?

Weil ich es kann. Weil es interessant ist. Weil es nur geringe Ressourcen benötigt.

Ich hab jetzt einen Gopher-Server am Start...

(Bevor es das World Wide Web gab, gab es Gopher.)

@flexion Makes me think @thomholwerda might want to build and run geomyidae on his HP thingie.

Given how minimal it is the chances of building on pretty much anything are high.

Where’s my #Gopher #osnews .

arghh moment while tweaking my client config this morning:

why does everyone blindly use "h" as a selector for both an html file AND a url that may or may not be a html file (like a Gemini url).

The only answer I have is to only display directory and query selectors in my client because frankly most selectors are either obsolete or useless.

@gokayburuc One of the first posts in Gemini space I read was a call for the community to write more non-technical stuff on the smallweb. And that's probably very good advice (to attract more non-tech people). I published two cooking recipes so far 😅 and am working on a piece about my hometown. Maybe we should apply that "don't sleep with people who do not have books at home" thing to the smallweb. 😀

I reread the open letter on human focused computing at perma(dot)computer every couple of months. It inspires me and the signatory list is also a great #smolnet directory of interesting #gopher and #geminiProtocol spaces.

Pelo momento os dados da #lacraia (sem contar o sistema para servir eles) caberiam em disquetes. :floppydiskspin:

Captura de terminal:

Adicionei mais uma captura da #lacraia sendo visitada via #Gopher por nada menos que uma estação Indigo da Silicon Graphics  do final do seculo passado no sistema Irix (Unix da SGI).

Not only Gopher, but also Gemini! gemini://taz.de

Old and new awesomeness!

There we go, realized I broke the photo gallery on my #gopher hole when I switched from SmugMug to self-hosted Piwigo, so now that's switched from the gophermug CGI to piwigopher and it's all working again at gopher://sen.cx:70/1/cgi-bin/p

Also now piwigopher exists! It's quick and dirty, but it does the job. It's at github.com/sarahemm/piwigopher for all your gopher photo gallery needs.

Rocking the Web Bloat: Modern Gopher, Gemini and the Small Internet (2022)

The web is a mess, bloated with data-gathering trackers, predatory UX, massive resource loads, and it is absorbing everything it touches. The Small Internet is a counter-cultural movement to wrangle things back under control via minimalism, hands-on participation, and good old fashioned conversation. At its heart are technologies like the venerable Gopher protocol or the new Gemini protocol offering a refuge and a place to dream of a better future.

Join me and be reintroduced to Gopher in 2021 and learn what this old friend has to offer us in a world full of web services and advertising bombardment. We will also explore the new Gemini protocol and how it differs from Gopher and HTTP.

We will explore the protocols themselves, their history, and what the modern ecosystems are like. I will briefly review the technical details of implementing servers or clients of your own, and how to author content as a user. Discussion will cover limitations, grey-areas, and trade-offs in exchange for speed and simplicity.

Through these alternative protocols we’ll see the small internet in action.

stumbling around gopher in my pyjamas this morning I saw an inline picture. Before snapping my laptop shut in wretched fear, I checked to see if the sky had darkened. It hadn't, so what is this infamous devilry? Turns out it's just a markdown file, and as I'm running Chawan in Kitty it automatically displays .md files with image content. Phew, I almost ran to church.

Gopher vừa ra mắt SDK mã nguồn mở miễn phí cho giao thức MCP – công cụ hữu ích để xây dựng server/client MCP với quyền kiểm soát cao. Phù hợp cho dev muốn tìm hiểu hoặc tùy chỉnh sâu về MCP, học cơ chế hoạt động nội bộ (phát hiện, gọi client-server) và thử nghiệm không bị lock-in.

Remember to update your Lagrange
gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/
client so you can see the new gopher sites of 2026, which won't render right in last year's gopher clients.

(Lynx still renders it just fine. Lynx is forever.)

I'm recruiting for people to move to gopher. Anyone needs help getting started? I'd love to have more people over :D #gopher is #resistance

2026-01-26

@jbowen It's a small act of resistance, but it's a step anyway!
The #geminiprotocol seems to be more active than the #gopherProtocol , I find both interesting, but I must admit Gemini is a bit easier and more convenient for making a basic page with hyperlinks.

Someone made an interface to some LLM from Gopher, did you know?

Strange enough, both #gemini and #gopher keywords have now been taken for some IA shits so now even on the fediverse we have to deal with this :(
