I read a nice and long article about how fun the internet can be.

[Lagrange](https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) is a nice GUI app that you can use to read it. Or, if you prefer the #terminal I can't recommend enough [offpunk](https://offpunk.net).
The article can be found [here](https://offlinecrush.substack.com/p/how-to-use-the-internet-again-a-curriculum) as well.

It’s funny how the LLM filled web is starting to cure my Web addiction. (according to my #offpunk archives, 35-40% of my online reading is now #gemini or #gopher )
https://ploum.net/2023-08-01-splitting-the-web.html
It is also ironic how I’m now heavily relying on @kagihq to avoid slop, a tool/service founded by AI enthusiasts !

Exactly 4 years ago, I released #offpunk 1.3. I explained why I was doing it and what my plans were : breaking offpunk into several #UNIX like components.
https://ploum.net/2022-04-02-offpunk13.html
I’m proud to say that I managed to follow those plans with ansicat, netcache, openk and, thanks to @vjousse , unmerdify
-
One year ago, I joked that #offpunk would be renamed #xkcdpunk
Today, I can say that "xkcdpunk" is a command-line that I use every day! And this was not anticipated!

Offpunk 3.0 "A Community is Born" Release
-
Making the #smolnet social with share/reply in #offpunk
-
@jappie3 @ploum I was trying to parse that number in various ways because surely #offpunk was closer to 5 thousand commits than half a million 🤣
(See https://offpunk.net/index.html - It’s about 1221 commits on the default branch right now)

RE: https://chaos.social/@librewolf/115716906957137196
Librewolf is my browser of choice. It’s exactly what Firefox should have been. It allows me to easily reject all cookies/tracking except when I truly want it.
I like Librewolf (when #offpunk is not enough ;-) )

Updated #offpunk development guidelines to be clear about the use of chatbots:
https://offpunk.net/dev-guidelines.html
The code of the website is in the git repository in the "tutorial" folder. Patches to fix typo or improve the website are welcome:
-
@mpaluchowski @pluralistic : this approach is automatized and crowdsourced to extract the real content from enhshitified webpages.
ftr-site-config is a communautary project to create xpath rules for websites (more than 2000 websites supported currently)
unmerdify is a python library using those rules to parse a webpage.
#Offpunk is a command-line browser using unmerdify by default when available to read a website.
Say goodbye to the enshitified Web!

I’m very sad that I can’t read acm.org without javascript (which I don’t have in #offpunk )
-
When I worked on #offpunk 2.0, I divided the code into the netcache, ansicat and openk components, hoping someone would, one day, use them to do something I never imagined.
Well, it happened: there’s now a #neovim plugin using Openk to render gemini/web pages in you #vim editor!
https://git.thatit.be/neopunk.nvim.git/
The whole story:
gemini://thatit.be/2026-02-19-21-26-12.gmi(yes, it is a #geminiprotocol link, #gemini is a protocol, not a Google bot!)

Multiple people have requested an easy way to install #offpunk under Windows 🪟
My last Widows experience was XP, I cannot help. But maybe you can help by creating an Offpunk package for Scoop:
Packagers are also requested for:
- Homebrew 🍏
- OpenBSD :openbsd:
- Fedora :fedora:Don’t hesitate to join the mailing-list:
https://lists.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk-packagers -
As I mainly browse the web using #offpunk, which has no JS support, I can say that, yes, some sites require JS.
Some site that, when loaded in a full browser, display only text! Blog posts! Not even pictures or shiny effect. No, a few paragraphs of text.
And they don’t load at all without JS.
What kind of effort does it require to make sure that you straight-text-only blog doesn’t work without #javascript?
Seriously…

@bituur_esztreym @kozlika @LaurentChemla @pep : ça m’intéresse de savoir comment tu fais pour implémenter le rendu des tables HTML dans #offpunk

There are obvious missing platforms in the #offpunk packages:
https://repology.org/project/offpunk/versions
No #openbsd ! :openbsd:
No #fedora ! :fedora:
No #opensuse !and probably several other missing. If you are doing package for one of the missing platforms, join us on the dedicated mailing-list:

Offpunk 3.0 will, by default, display pictures in Gemini pages. This could be disabled.
What do you think?

He’s a bépo user, and loves split mechanical keyboards.
Today, he shares his thoughts on mailing lists, #bikes, #Gemini, Calendar.txt and #plaintext files, and #Mussels and Chips.

I did a first attempt at integrating the #unmerdify tool from @vjousse in #offpunk
It means to become a way to strip html pages from all the unnecessary cruft and displaying the content, only the content.
In the long term, this could become a way to browse the web in a mindful, unenshitified way (and, for those who don’t like the command line, a GUI could be done without too much trouble, I would accept contributions about it)
