Nice to see cool projects in this timeline

Drop what you're doing and listen to @masinter Larry Masinter talk about computing history and lore. He tells first hand stories on the early web, Gopher, Hypertext Coffee Pot Control Protocol, mailto:, and a whole lot more including Interlisp.

@Jayhoffmann may be interested.

I solved a problem with the #Intel HD Graphics 520 on my #Thinkpad X270, namely DRI3 was not enabled in #xlibre and provoking warnings from mpv and odd results from glxgears.

You can also now read all about it in my #gopher phlog via #smolweb too. Hehe.

Today I added to the Gopher Archaeology section of my gopher hole the pdf: "Oral History 328: An Interview With Mark P. McCahill". I found it a very interesting reading.

Hackernews on #Gopher. Of course. How can I be surprised that such a thing exists? Whelp.

Reviewing Goophy's devlog I realized that on Christmas Eve it will be exactly four months since I put the first private beta in production and started my gopher hole at

#Goophy #Gopher #GopherProtocol

Today I added new features to Goophy:

- Keep alive config param in order to disconnect idle connections after the configured time.

- Disconnect new connections on max connections reached until there is an available connection slot.

New version up and running on my gopher hole. This will be the last version with all the code in one single file. It's time to refactor and split things 😉

#decemberAdventure day 9: back to #gopher

A number of years ago I setup my own search tool for the gopherspace. I've not re-done a full crawl since getting it working, and due to some design issues, it eventually stopped working reliably enough to keep running. Due to RSI issues, I have prioritized other projects in the intervening years, but have slowly made a list of notes and plans for fixing it. Today's adventure is the first part in implementing my plan and getting it back to a useable state.

I've rewritten the crawler. The new one is a lot less buggy than the original, and has a number of improvement including a correctly working filter (supporting robots.txt and a defined list of servers not to index), better discovery of servers from the gopher maps, tracking when servers were last scanned, request rate limiting, and facilities for avoiding recording duplicate entries.

My initial tests have been on my main gopher server (forthworks.com:70) and a number of my private ones. This totals 32k selectors across 3 servers. I'm going to start a broader scan of the public gopherspace soon, so will update once I get through the initial scan of a few servers.

My full logs are at https://charles.childe.rs/DA2025

@lfa Al leer sobre tus avances con Goophy, me he acordado de este escrito en el que su autor hacía refería a una experiencia similar:

I've found a use to the bad bots that scrape the internet 24/7. Finally my friends from China managed to break Goophy 😆

Because of it I've discovered a bug managing the max connections of the server. I knew I have a bug somewhere and I was waiting to find and fix it before continue to add new features and improvements. New version up and running. Let's see if my testers from China will find something else 😂

I just found a nice documentary about #Gopher and what happend to it.

Sorry for the YT link. i'm still not sure which Invidious instance I should refer to in such postings.

"What Happened to #Gopher? The #Internet We Lost"

This is a very interesting video. And I learned that there is a successor of Gopher [1]: #Gemini [2][3]. I never heard of it before (it was "born" in 2019).
