  1. With the recent release of SmolServe v1.0, a lightweight server for serving #Gemini, #Gopher, #Finger and #Spartan, and the upcoming release of a Smolnet browser for Android devices which will also support lesser-known/newer protocols such as #Nex, #Text, #Scroll, #Titan, #Guppy, #Scorpion, #Mercury, #FSP, #Molerat and #Terse, it seems like the #smolweb and interest in it is far from having peaked yet.

  3. Mein Gopher-Server PyGopherd und der Client DeBurrow verstehen einander nicht. PyGopherd spricht offenbar nur IPv4 und DeBurrow nur IPv6.

  4. Gibt diverse Gopher-Clients:

    Molasses für Linux, MacOS und Fenster
    lynx und gopher für Linux (CLI)
    DiggieDog für Android (Play Store, Aurora)
    DeBurrow für Android (F-Droid)

  5. Und wo wir schon dabei sind: Die Fediverse-Blog-App WriteFreely beherrscht nicht nur ActivityPub und RSS, sondern auch das Gopher-Protokoll.

  6. Experimenting with custom user-supplied themes for -- so users can create and use their own themes. Trying to make a variety of monochrome terminal looks.

    It's also highlighting a couple of annoyances with the design of Textual's themes that I think are going to work against an ideal solution.

  8. Yes, the guy that resurrected UMN #gopher is at it again. This time, I've made the first new #Kermit release in 15 years! changelog.complete.org/archive This protocol, originally for serial lines, lives on and I use it as a powerful ssh wrapper daily. I added a modern test suite, fixed a ton of bugs, added IPv6 support.

    And, rather to my surprise, ENJOYED working in a legacy #C codebase.

  10. I've been publishing a lot on my phlog. And I'm having much more comments and appreciation emails than I ever had in my blogs (on blogger).

    Gopher community really is great.

  11. #IYKYK #techno #acidhouse #smolweb #gopher

    There's nothing more satisfying than the following:
    1.) Browsing the smolweb, specifically gopher via Lagrange
    2.) Listening to a mix from Acid Pimp that is pure acid house/techo, AND, almost 2 hours long.
    3.) The nostalgia that comes back from items #1 and #2 above.

    That's the link to the mix if you're interested.

  12. Related to that, I've discovered that there is no emoji for gophers. Not that I have any links to gopher holes on my site, but if I did, and I wanted to use an emoji to tag them, which one do you think would be a better choice:

    #gopher #emoji

  16. What's up on the #smolweb? July 2026 roundup

    New blog post !

    July 2026 was a quietly busy month on the smolweb. The #Geminispace keeps growing toward 3,500 active capsules. A Gemini browser landed on a handheld game console. The Old Computer Challenge brought the #permacomputing and #smolnet communities together. Protocol design debates (SMTP vs #Gemini extensibility, TOFU improvements) show the community is still thinking critically about its own foundations. And the #gopher scene, far from dead, continues to produce practical content and welcome new operators...

  20. Next up in #Rogallo -- how about some optional "badges" to show alongside each type of link in a #gopher map?

    #SmallWeb #smolweb

  21. I think I'm very close to calling the #Gopher support for #Rogallo initially complete. Still some testing to do, but I'm navigating various servers just fine now.

    #SmallWeb #smolweb #python #programming

  22. I'm kind of surprised to find that there doesn't appear to be an #Emacs package that provides a handy mode for editing #gophermap files. Like, sure, they're not *that* tricky, but it seems like it could be (or could once have been) a handy mode.

    #gopher

  23. I guess, if I'm going to run with #Gopher support in #Rogallo, I should have a wee site too: gopher://tilde.team/1/~davep/

    #SmallWeb

  24. Una etapa que llega a su fin. Agradecido con #flounderonline este blog con dicho soporte llega a su cierre de ciclo y apertura de nueva modalidad.
