RPoD - Wyoming Gopher | |
Site Log | |
20240128: Mirrored Project Gutenberg (text | |
files only) and the Survivor Library | |
(survivorlibrary.com, PDF files). Both of these | |
are in a new section of the main RPoD gophermap. | |
20240101: Due to a couple of guestbook posts, | |
I feel compelled to put out that I do not run | |
floodgap, I do not host an instance of veronica, | |
look at the server in the selectors you have | |
issues with. This is 1436.ninja and I link to | |
numerous other servers. If the post about veronica | |
was actually referring to my moku-pona, when I | |
upgraded to v2 some phlogs were lost. Contact | |
sysop [at] 1436.ninja to rectify. Thank you. | |
20231111: Worked on the Port70News rejection | |
logic. It was supposed to catch URLs returning | |
empty results, usually due to JS generated | |
pages. It was buggy and didn't give useful | |
feedback. It seems to be working now. Drop me a | |
line (contact info is top of main menu) if you | |
have issues, please. Also fixed utf-8 handling. | |
20231015: Port70News now uses rdrview, a | |
readability port for commandline, piped through | |
lynx -dump for a much cleaner output. Long | |
overdue. | |
20230916: Major upgrade to my internet | |
connection. Went from 7 megabit/sec down, 256 | |
kilobit/sec up to 50 megabit symetrical. | |
20230912: Main gophermap, Port70News, and | |
My Guestbook are all feeding from recutils | |
databases. I am really liking the flexibility this | |
lends itself to. | |
20230823: As I mentioned in my 20220606 phlog | |
entry, I have been kicking around the idea | |
of running this gopherhole via a recutils | |
database. Well a portion of this gopherhole is now | |
being produced thusly. If I decide to keep it this | |
way, I'll expand it to the entire site. | |
20230814: Upgraded the Lenovo ThinkCentre now | |
hosting RPoD to 10GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Posting | |
to the guestbook and Port70News is reenabled. | |
20230805: RPoD is no longer a Raspberry Pi 4, | |
it is now a Lenovo ThinkCentre. Gopherd is now | |
gophernicus. Some things are not currently | |
working, but I will be working on this. | |
20230317: After a foolish experiment with trim on | |
the RPoD ssd, it went down for a week while I was | |
out of town. Sorry about that. | |
20221231: Power outage downed the site. fixed some | |
formatting in the server information file. | |
20220401: Increased security. Wrote script to | |
restart gopherd after checking if down. Increasing | |
availability. | |
20210902: Took RPoD down today and copied | |
everything over to a new Raspberry Pi 4 with a | |
256GB M.2 SSD in a fan cooled case. It took some | |
doing. I may be tinkering with designing a more | |
portable gopher- hole. Time will tell. | |
20210705: Messed up my crontab while editting it a | |
few days ago, which led to extended downtime for | |
the site. | |
20210310: Rewrote the gophermap.cgi for my | |
phlog. Got rid of the archive pages, switching to | |
one long list to the beginning of time. Truncated | |
entry titles at 50 characters to stop line | |
wrapping on most standard devices. | |
20200722: Minor maintenance on the logging of | |
Xylophar for the host count on the SERVER INFO | |
file. Rebooted server for the first time in a | |
couple of months. | |
20200510: I took RPoD down tonight at 1800 UTC-6 | |
and performed a backup with dd to an external | |
drive. This took several hours. | |
20200201: Loads of minor tweaks to Xylophar and | |
the RPod Gopher=>HTTP Proxy. Bugs were found and | |
killed. There are some RPoD specific additions to | |
the Proxy such as the (c) notice on the phlog, | |
that are not present in the git repo. | |
20200126: Xylophar was "getting stuck" this | |
was pegging the CPU on RPoD, degrading | |
performance. Added a SUB to the Xylophar | |
sourcecode to shell "kill -9 $$" and called it as | |
the last command in all spots where the gopherd | |
should be finished. Worked like a champ! | |
20200123: https://leveck.us now points directly | |
to this gopherhole using the RPoD Gopher=>HTTP | |
Proxy. The robots.txt file will prevent (ethical) | |
bots from spidering gopher. | |
20200120: Added http redirect support to Xylophar | |
and upgraded RPoD to this new version. | |
20200116: RPoD has been migrated to Xylophar as | |
its gopherd. https://gitlab.com/leveck/xylophar | |
20190927: NO UPDATES NO MOSH NO CORE NO TRENDS NO | |
FUN | |
20190913: Reversed the moku-pona change from the | |
last SL entry... after moving moku-pona fully to | |
the RPoD chroot. | |
20190911: Did some remodeling. Improved the | |
formatting of the Palm Doc version of the | |
Phlog. Changed the moku-pona instance to check on | |
the hour, but not to touch the gopherhole unless | |
there is an update. | |
20190902: Added a Plucker file collection in the | |
Document Collections section. Infused my moku-pona | |
with gopher.black's sites.txt (cat'd with mine, | |
sort'd, uniq'd, manually deduped). It'll settle | |
down once again after updates naturally occur. | |
20190831: Added a Palm Doc version of the phlog, | |
yeah I know it mangles source code I have | |
posted. I still think it is cool. Also added a | |
feed version of my Twitpher (not atom, like that | |
website for microblogs). | |
20190625: Imported, sorted, and uniq'd a sites.txt | |
from another moku-pona instance. I forget | |
who's it was, but thank you for the infusion | |
of phloggers! Consequently the local moku-pona | |
instance is a mess today. It'll resume normalcy in | |
time. | |
20190123: Upgraded my moku-pona install finally. | |
curl'd The update pages from the two major | |
circumlunar.space sites into my sites.txt. Moved | |
the other circumlunar.space links to the Bookmarks | |
section. | |
20190119: Modified the Phlog gophermap to only | |
display current year. All prior years are | |
available via a link to Archives at the top of | |
that menu. All links still work, files have not | |
moved. It was just getting a tad cluttered. | |
20181218: https://leveck.us once again mirrors the | |
phlog. It uses mod_markdown for transformation. | |
20181201: Cleaned all extra, superfluous software | |
off of RPoD, increasing performance. Added | |
photograph of my (current) complete PDA collection | |
to the PDA_Collection section. | |
20181130: Updated RPoD's storage from 32gb to | |
256gb on its main drive. Continued hosting | |
expansion is assured for some time to come. Also | |
setup cron'd rsync backup of the gopher chroot. | |
20181001: I am seeking Palm Device donations. If | |
you are interested in finding a home for your | |
device, please write me at: [email protected] | |
20180929: Changed a couple of gosher configuration | |
items and got moku-pona to work with my phlog. | |
20180809: RPoD is now runing in chroot | |
using gosher as the server! Report bugs to | |
[email protected] ::IMPORTANT:: I Moved My Phlog -- | |
update your links. ALSO: Took down the leveck.us | |
www site. The world wide web increasingly | |
represents all I hate. | |
20180708: Complete reorg of main | |
gophermap. Everything is still here, just | |
restyled, moved, consolidated. Major redo of phlog | |
20180704: Started streamlining, deleting, | |
combining links & sections on the main gophermap | |
to start figuring out a good starting point for | |
the ongoing gopher + wiki project. | |
20180630: Added Asatru Section. Contains the 8chan | |
Asatru trove and the text version of the RPoD | |
Asatru Wiki. | |
20180607: Did a lot of work to the www blog | |
frontend of the phlog. All text, fast, uses | |
same text files as the phlog so no upkeep. | |
https://leveck.us | |
20180605: added a plaintext only (type 0) view of | |
my phlog Diggie Dog on Android dislikes my type 1 | |
format pick your view below... | |
20180517: symlink from phlog to | |
/var/www/html/blog. https://leveck.us now displays | |
a blog version of the RPoD Phlog. | |
20180419: added sourcecode for my note/task app | |
to the software projects section. added an RPG | |
character backstory creation guide to the games | |
section. | |
20180325: purchased 1436.ninja, pointed all | |
local selectors to it. gopher.leveck.us and | |
rpod.leveck.us still functional. | |
20180318: added a twitpher as /~leveck on | |
gopher.leveck.us | |
20180316: added GAMES section | |
20180312: Guestbook was broken too, completely | |
rewrote it. now uses /bin/sh, par, tac, and sed | |
for urldecode. preserved old entries. | |
20180311: Moved some content around, removed | |
the forum as the code is broke AF. This should | |
be rewritten as initially I did not know what I | |
was doing. The gophermap in that directory is a | |
symlink to the main gophermap so as not to break | |
links. | |
20180307: Implemented search/filter on my | |
phlog. Since I am not archiving it, and the | |
listing could become burdensome, this is a nice | |
alternative. I may end up linking directly to | |
current year from my main gophermap. We'll see. | |
20180304: In the last couple days got a | |
gopher server up & running on my VPS. This | |
is hosting the music related gopherhole. | |
gopher://namtaraum.productions | |
20180212: Changes to PDD (my phlog engine) and the | |
script I use to write my phlog. Also relocated | |
the atom feed script for the phlog to RPoD and | |
modified it I did change the IDs. I apologize if | |
this messes with your feed reader (look at me | |
assuming people subscribe to my feed). | |
20180211: After a protracted absence, I am | |
back. Yesterday I posted a link to the Project | |
Gutenberg rewrite and am seeking testers to poke | |
holes in it to improve the code which is a WIP. | |
20180116: New logo. Started work on the Gutenberg | |
rewrite. The parsing code will be interesting... | |
20180106: https://leveck.us is no longer merely | |
a proxy for the gopherhole. It is now a plain | |
looking personal page that links to the gopher | |
proxy in addition to other things. | |
20171217: Redid the site completely, after | |
an email con- versation with Christopher | |
Lohman. Split each section into its own | |
gophermap. Put them into a directory named | |
SECTION. The main gopermap just =cat | |
/var/gopher/SECTION/* | |
20171216: Added GOPHER SEARCH section, included | |
Contrition and The Gopher Lawn. Added GOPHER ENTRY | |
POINT section. Added link to the Gopher Project. | |
20171212: Backed up gopher and http servers to | |
private git repos. > 61,000 files between the two, | |
the vast majority in /var/gopher | |
20171211: Added q to PROJECTS | |
20171209: Changed the site header again. I love | |
the ornate ASCII skull motif, but simple seems | |
more "gophery" | |
20171204: Added pinout diagram I made of Adafruit | |
USB to TTL Serial Cable to the RASPBERRY PI | |
section. Made the RPoD DocumentStore sourcecode | |
available on the DocumentStore page. Also added | |
some more description to the links in the LOCAL | |
CONTENT section. Updated the site_information | |
document. | |
20171202: Added site_information text file in | |
SITE INFO section. Added sitelog atom feed | |
via https. Added sliderule section. Updated | |
stagit-gopher I have taken to mirroring useful | |
projects from other git servers to my own in | |
addition to only hosting my own code. Part of my | |
file hoarding initiative. | |
20171201: Created favicons for a variety of | |
platforms. So regardless of where you save a link | |
to leveck.us, there will be a nifty icon. | |
20171129: stripped the main gophermap of loose | |
text. This involved some editting of the site's | |
mySQL database -- I stil need to write a front | |
end for that. phpMyAdmin is perfectly usable, but | |
it is not convienient. My mySQL server is not | |
accessible outside my home network so I have to | |
run phpMyAdmin via VNC. Another project... | |
20171126: wrote a new phlog script, it so greatly | |
simplifies writing a phlog entry that I now have | |
extra time on my hands... Also mirrored some vim | |
plugins on my gogs server. Also uploaded to my | |
git the sitelog atom script. They, and the phlog | |
script have been updated via stagit. look in the | |
[PROJECTS | |
20171125: updated my bookmark stash script, | |
implemented password protection on the webserver, | |
uploaded to git server, updated stagit *** | |
implemented atom feed for this SiteLog implemented | |
a weekly dd based backup of RPoD2. I can run | |
manually in case of big changes. On my next set of | |
off days, I want to craft a sollution that only | |
copies files I specify and only uses standard | |
commands so I am not tied to any software package | |
that may or may not be maintained. | |
20171124: updated LevPherCMS to 0.21, did | |
some minor optimi- zation to code, compiled, | |
installed. Posted to git, ran stagit. Section | |
codebase finally released. | |
20171123: wrote myself a bookmark stasher in bash, | |
uploaded the code into my git. NOTE, the live code | |
omits piping to ~/bm, but I do not want to include | |
my live file location, so screw it, you get the | |
idea... TODO: create an atom feed for this sitelog | |
20171120: added gallery, just a place to put | |
images. by the suggestion of Tomisino on mastodon, | |
also hosting the phlog atom feed via gopher now. | |
20171119: fixed the atom feed script now properly | |
escaped in CDATA tags and functional in all | |
clients I tested with. my phlog is syndicated at: | |
https://leveck.us/phlogfeed/phlog.atom | |
20171118: wrote an autogeneration script to turn | |
my phlog into an atom feed. It may not be 100% | |
compliant, this is very much a fast and loose, | |
embrionic state bit of code at the moment... It | |
lives on sdf, and another script on RPoD runs | |
it via ssh and scp's the atom feed to a public | |
http directory which is linked to on the phlog | |
page. NOTE: lynx sometimes chokes on type h | |
pointing to https, so I point to http and let my | |
webserver redirect. | |
20171115: due to the unicode header | |
art not showing correctly on some of | |
my test clients/ devices, went back to | |
straight ASCII also inspiration from here: | |
gopher://zelibertinegamer.me/0/phlog/2017-11-12_13 | |
33.txt got me thinking trad is the way to go. | |
20171111: fixed the slashdot feeds slicing | |
20171106: added slashdot feeds. haven't been a /. | |
regular since the 90s, but they have tech content | |
all in line and curl-able... inspired by the image | |
upload on 70chan, wrote a document uploader in | |
bash, using curl. my wife has termed it "an all | |
text nerd pinterest" -- I'll take that. also phlog | |
entry announcing it, and new link to 70chan, along | |
with new chan section. | |
20171105: phlog entry, wrote auto phlog shorty | |
script: #!/bin/sh nof=$(date +%Y%m%d) cd | |
gopher/dat nano $nof.post chmod 0644 $nof.post cd | |
~ | |
20171104: phlog entry, added Solene link, backend | |
stuff | |
20171103: uploaded and linked new Cavernlord song | |
20171102: modified LevPherCMS, added section | |
table, ability to sort sections. *not* currently | |
ready to release. TODO: add section view where | |
only display section which is hotlink. an aweful | |
lot of reshuffling and resorting, new section, | |
etc. | |
20171101: OC skull ASCII art head/foot. | |
20171029: ported stagit-gopher to standard \t | |
delimited gophermap gen'd static pages pointing to | |
the gits on https://leveck.us/git, added them to | |
projects section. Pointed gutenberg link at the | |
live gutenberg site. |
