I'm writing a manifesto about techno-romantic Unixism 💾✨ (DM for preview)
One of the first people I sent it to was the operator of a telnet MUD where people talk to the radio DJ live, and Gopher is a keystroke away: @screwlisp
📻🐿️
They’re already there. 🌐
#gopher #unix
Hah! I knew it. I knew the fediverse would pop up as I explore Gemini. Adding this to my collection of platforms to try.
What's the best #gopher websites you have found?
I haven't done much other than make a very small site, but I want to see what others have made.
Listen to the Lispy Gopher Climate show on anonradio at 0 hundred hours UTC Wednesday which is 7:00 PM Central Daylight Time if I've got it right!

#emacsconf proposal deadline is Friday!
Otherwise, I did lots of #commonLisp #programming this week and will talk about the #gof_ai & #DeepLearning #AI one, and maybe my spacetime-box #NicCLIM #gamedev.

Eyyy- I only just posted the stuff about vcfmw(/vcfjw) on #gopher and I've already got another one up! I guess gopher productivity is a bursted packet mode. :)
I posted a phlog post on how I'm starting a new #art business, as the tech industry has become a toxic cesspool (has been for a while, of course) - and accompanying that, I posted a #peertube video I made whilst doing some maintenance on our CO2 #laser ( https://toobnix.org/w/cxRaZUs7a9Jj5RerJhMh3T )
The new business site is over at https://photronic.art - Pleeeeeeease go buy some of our stuff, we put a lot of effort into handcrafting all the things - including the site itself, which was made from scratch in Pascal (FreePascal) without frameworks or third party corporate junk.
This is the one and only post you'll see on this account about that - I created a new account for all photronic arts related stuffs ( @photronicarts ) - so go follow that if you want to see posts of whatever we end up creating. :)
Thanks to the incomparable @someodd I am once again buried deep underground

Mirroring git snapshots over the #gopher protocol is an absolutely wonderful and convenient service.
Further, gopher specially works as a directory browser of text (and other) files, which is just what you want for #git in the first place !
I interviewed her at some point if someone has the link ;p

Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World". I went the other way.
Introducing GASM: A Gopher server in pure i386 Assembly.
💾 Binary: 1.5KB
🧠 RAM: 24KB (Verified with pmap)
🚫 Dependencies: 0 (No libc, pure syscalls)
🦕 Min Spec: Intel 386DX (1985)
Probably runs on the shittiest hardware you can find, or on your Ryzen 9.

I've been working on a little something for the past few days, and it's finally usable :D
![media-0]
introducing…. gopher.tal!
https://codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher.tal
it's a lightweight (~3.2kb) gopher client that tries to be as unsurprising as possible
features:
clickable and tab-focusable links
keyboard scroll and screen resize
support for gopher-search
special port numbers (still gotta speak gopher)
would you be better off using w3m/bopher? probably
is this still a web browser written in assembly? hell yeah!
I was inspired by @someodd's profound theory of computing to view the gopher ( #rfc1436 ) as a platonic solid of our universe's model of communication
in the same way that Alan Kay says that LISP is a fundamental part of our universe same as Maxwell's equations.
In so many words. I decided to just runtime signal the condition that I view some thing as being browsably of the gopher.
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/lispy-gopher/
Edit: Added example, then also added the running example

- @wm_annis reports an sbcl merge of slop (EDIT: REVERTED v) unlike #ecl viz @jackdaniel . #commonLisp
(#clisp)
Individual heterogeneity
- in #climate activism
- in the #gopher
- in The #Lisp Community
- My idea of sharing conditions/handlers rather than programs
Cf the fully intended homogeneity from LLMs.
- yduJ is square dancing this week, as all lisp users must.
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/partial-gopher-client/
#commonLisp #conditionHandling implemented as a #gopher protocol using #emacs #slime as the client.
This is even better than it sounds.
The condition handling system (nonfatal generalization of exception handling using lisp's local restarts/continuations) is unexplored and seen as opaque.
Using this tiny but esoteric example the available non-lexical computed restarts of an interactive condition are simply /browsable/.

#commonLisp conditions #gopher
I joined https://ontologforum.com/ #knowledgeRepresentation
Chat in #lambdaMOO! @mdhughes @rat #technology
@screwlisp is having some site connectivity problems so asked me to remind everyone that we'll be on the anonradio forum at the top of the hour (a bit less than ten minutes hence) for those who like that kind of thing:
https://anonradio.net:8443/anonradio
He'll also be monitoring LambdaMOO at "telnet lambda.moo.mud.org 8888" for those who do that kind of thing. there are also emacs clients you should get if you're REALLY using telnet.
Topic for today, I'm told, may include the climate, the war, the oil price hikes, some rambles I've recently posted on CLIM, and the book by @cdegroot called The Genius of Lisp, which we'll also revisit again next week.
Questions for other old-timers who might remember the heyday of #Gopher better than I do.
Were there any common/popular naming conventions? Like, were they 90% gopher.example.com, like every website was (and so many still are) www.example.com?
What dedicated gopher clients were around at the time? I know I used something that wasn't also a web browser, but I can't remember what.

#climateCrisis #haiku by ANSI #commonLisp's @kentpitman whom is joining us again this week!
+ @jhlagado } I am hoping these two will talk about their overlapping ( #zork / #adventure(6) #gamedev ) and parallel contemporaneous computing histories. ( #lisp / #basic #programming )
And @ramin_hal9001 !
