tootik v0.16.0
=> github.com/dimkr/tootik
tootik is a federated nanoblogging service for the small internet.
tootik allows people to participate in the fediverse using their Gemini, Gopher or Finger client of choice and makes the fediverse lighter, more private and more accessible. tootik's interface strips content to bare essentials (like text and links), puts the users in control of the content they see and tries to "slow down" the fediverse to make it more compatible with the slower pace of the small internet.
It's a single executable that handles both the federation (using ActivityPub) and the frontend (using Gemini) aspects, while sqlite takes care of persistency. It should be lightweight and efficient enough to host a small community even on a cheap server, and hopefully, be easy to hack on.
tootik implements only a small subset of ActivityPub, and probably doesn't really conform to the spec.

Oh, MAN, I miss the early Internet days.

In 1991 or '92, I brought a tractor-fed dot-matrix printout about 8-10 pages long of a #NewEnglandJournalOfMedicine #NEJM article/study that was possibly related to my malady, to my #Cardiologist, & he was genuinely appreciative.

I'd used #gopher to find it. Or was it #archie ?

Can you imagine a Dr these days paying ANY attention to something I printed off the Internet today?

@webdev_discussions Well... i rather move completely over to the "Tech Amish" in their #gopher holes than jumping on THAT bandwagon. Yeah, i have played around with AI, but it always felt like cheating...

A tiny little striped gopher (Thirteen-lined ground squirrel) enjoying a snack!

#Animals #Forest #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #Squirrels #gopher #wildlifephotography #Rodent #Fotomontag #Photomonday

This small and slender ground squirrel, also known as the "thirteen liner" has 13 stripes running along the length of its body. The dark brown stripes are wider than the tan ones and have rectangular tan spots along the middle, and are either seven wider dark brown stripes alternating with tan or seven narrow tan stripes alternating with six dark brown ones. They have short ears and their tail is thin and a little bushy.This small and slender ground squirrel, also known as the "thirteen liner" has 13 stripes running along the length of its body.

If our softwares were optimized, and if the web wasn't bloated, we could have dirt cheap computers. People already do a lot with RPi Pico.

I think the biggest problem is web. With an RP2040 you can do #gopher, #gemini, #email, #paint and #wordprocessing to say the least. A computer based on this could be very useful for schools. I am being tempted to do a startup or try getting a grant.

Et un nouveau gopherhole (un site #Gopher, donc) vient de se lancer ! Qui a dit que ce protocole né en même temps que et concurrent du Web était du passé ? ^^

Advanced Goroutines Patterns в Go: Fan-out, Fan-in и Pipelines

В языке Go одним из важнейших преимуществ является мощная поддержка многопоточности и параллелизма за счёт горутин и каналов. В этой статье подробно разберём три продвинутых шаблона работы с горутинами:

I stood up a local Gopher server, got my hole dug out the way I like it. Still need to make some ASCII art headers, and then put it on a server. Trouble is, where?

Uuuugh do I gotta fuck around with name sellers & DNS now? Or I can just open a port on mysticdungeon.club, that'd be fine I guess. I have some domains doing not much, but they're not suitable.

I tried getting telnet working, but it just opens Terminal and immediately exits, can't get it to debug why.

after an incredibly fruitful discussion with @ve3qbz about adding gopher support to #kiki, i decided to do some historical research on the protocol before i implement it

found this absolutely fascinating interview with Mark P. Cahill and Farhad Anklesaria - two of the five original gopher developers in 1991 - about the early history of the protocol and implementation. nice to hear a NeXT cube was used in the original design.

so who's going to be the first to redesign gopherspaceVR for 2025 😎

Anoche me adentré en el mundo texto-plano, finger , gopher , gemini, y cli; me parece que me he perdido y creo me será difícil volver al mundo tal y cual lo conocía, queeee hermosura!!! , todo conocimiento, sin distracción y con muchas cosas útiles. A propósito, usen Lagrange en el celular, precioso desde donde se lo vea. Dejo una imagen a modo de muestra.

#Gopher has a trivial open wire protocol where the selector and a handful of item type characters do all the work, while heavy HTTP has a header and method for every kink and everything is encrypted, so Gemini splits the difference by requiring TLS 1.2 with SNI and MIME types but doesn't cache, compress or cookie.
