Motsognir and Burrow | |

This new gopher hole is running a brand new server called | |
Motsognir [0]. It's written by mateusz [1] in c and has pretty | |
much no dependencies. It was an absolute breeze to install. | |

Motsognir is far more strict about gophermaps than Gophernicus | |
was, and it required a bit of cleanup to get my things showing | |
properly. I think this is a good thing, though. I want my gopher | |
repo to be portable in case I ever switch servers again, so | |
authoring things to the standard has benefits. The biggest | |
difference is that Gophernicus allowed you to write gophermap | |
information lines without a prefix of "i". This is great for | |
quickly editing things and I knew I'd miss it. So, I've updated | |
burrow [2] to automatically add these when creating a new post and | |
temporarily remove them when editing posts. Handy, right? Side | |
benefit: the rewrite of that code means I'm no longer limited to | |
links at the bottom of posts. I can drop them in wherever and | |
burrow will just handle it. | |
