+.Os "Jay Scott"
+.
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm what's the crack?
+.Nd 2025
+.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+It's been a while since I posted anything here. Usually, I posted
+after tinkering with something cool, but a few things happened and left
+me with very little enthusiasm and drive to write anything. Anyway,
+here's some general things that's happened over the year; it's just
+going to be a bit of a mind dump on tech related things.
+.
+.Pp
+I never stopped using gopher; in fact, my browsing habits have changed
+dramatically in the last year that I use gopher more. My main browser
+is now lynx, used in conjunction with rdrview to make the html more
+readable. With bongusta, lobste.rs and metafilter being daily visits
+on gopher, along with quarry/floodgap for searching and gopherpedia for
+everything in between. The only reason I open up a
+.Dq normal browser
+like qutebrowser or librewolf is when either cloudflare blocks the site
+or that new AI bot blocker anubis does. Anubis is the worst as you
+*need* javascript enabled for it to work, and so many sites are using
+it now. Some sites seem to allow you to bypass anubis if your
+user-agent is set to lynx, so with rdrview, set the following
+environment variables.
+.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+export RDRVIEW_BROWSER='lynx'
+export RDRVIEW_USER_AGENT='Lynx/2.9.2'
+.Ed
+.
+.Pp
+Man, the www is truly dead.
+.
+.Pp
+I am still using my nokia 105 phone daily, I have my old smart phone
+which sits next to my work laptop, it is purely used for the
+authenticator app to login for work. I wish they allowed the use of a
+yubikey or similar. I also have a SIP desk phone, a snom 370, which is
+hooked up to a local asterisk box I am running, outbound / inbound
+calls to this are via localphone.com. I used to work in an ISP where
+asterisk and voip was main product for them, I loved playing around with
+it. Being of the generation brought up with redboxing, and blueboxing if
+you could find (or told) a number for a foreign operator as it wasn't
+possible to bluebox directly on BTs network. I even contributed quite
+heavily to rapid7 warvox wardialer many moons ago, when it was still a
+thing. Oh to be young again! The snom only cost £5 on ebay, and I pay
+£1.20 a month for my sim with lebara. It gives me unlimited text/calls
+and 10gb data, I don't use any data though with the dumbphone. No
+contract. So works out quite a cheap tech toy for the amount of time I
+spend messing around with it. I always wince a bit when people say they
+are paying £30+ a month, while also hooked into a 24 month
+contract - expensive!
+.
+.Pp
+OpenBSD is the go to for all my servers still, gopher and public git
+repos are hosted over on openbsd amsterdam. I had a replacement beelink
+u59 sent to me which I use for my own self-hosting, it has around 4TB,
+and setup as a nas, along with hosting git, asterisk and jellyfin. My
+daily driver is still alpine linux, if something happens to it, I will
+switch back over to openbsd on that also but it's been rock solid for
+well over a year now.
+.
+.Pp
+The only flaw in my setup is a fire stick I use on my TV, it runs the
+jellyfin app. The problem, outwith the fact it's an amazon device, is
+it fails to work if there is no internet connection. So while I do have
+everything selfhosted, I still can't watch stuff on jellyfin if the
+internet is done - madness!
+.
+.Pp
+Looking a head at tech projects, and more specifically, these are some
+of the gopher related projects I want to do this coming year, most
+focus on things I still use the www for. So getting them under gopher
+would be pretty handy!
