Systemd and Gopher Tags
I'm so fed up with systemd. I wrestle with it at work where we have
nothing but RHEL7 servers. At home, I tried recently to install
gophernicus on my home workstation, Debian 8 (Jesse) - the first
release they switched to systemd. Somehow the installer sets up a
listening gopher server on IPv6 only, and the systemd interface is
completely broken. I don't even want to spend the time to debug it,
the CLI interface and config file layout is so awful. I think I'll
install Devuan and say goodbye to systemd.
Solderpunk writes about tagged gophers [0], and Jynx is right [1] in
that my gopher phlog engine Slerm [2] supports tags and tag searches
natively. I agree a tag-search facility outside of any given client
would be very useful, a nice middle ground between full-text and
selector searches. Speaking of full-text search, I have a prototype
of a full-text search engine I wanted to bolt onto Slerm, but I
never finished the integration. Maybe I'll do that one of these
days.
