Well after months of dormance,
lucid.observer is back online
with a new home.
gopher://lucid.observer
It's now built on openBSD and
at the moment it's a gopher
server. I'm pretty excited to
have created that,
although it was quite simple
it took me a while.
Server specs:
- OpenBSD
- Gopher (gophernicus)
- Per user and public gopher
- ssh, shell tools and local mail
- 300gb shared user home space
- i5 4xCPU 2.84gz
- 16gb ram
Hopefully some local chat/
message board, although local
email could cover most of the
communication, like group
email can be easily reached,
and everyone could save these
conversation personally.
Garden:
The garden is a big part of
the idea. Where we can store
books, in the library section
and have some sort of wiki to
record ideas, practices and
concepts.
How I see the gopher and
community used:
I want to open up the server
for those who want to explore
their spiritual and creative
life. Gopher can be used for
dream journal, karma yoga
journaling, creative process...
Gopher is very well suited for
music and audio too!
Example of gopher space:
- Dream Journal
- Personal growth
- Creative process
- Smolweb music sharing (your own)
- Community building
- Hacking and permacomputing
- De-digitization
What I want to focus on is
creativity and human evolution.
I understand that might seems
a bit limiting but I want to
have a 'theme' around this new
community. I'm not looking to
create a huge community either,
I understand that 'spiritually
inclined' and smolweb, ssh and
gopher are quite opposite in
a sense!
If you are interested to help
and share and use the space,
please email me at
[email protected]
and let me know how you would
like to use your account.
Once you're approved I'll create
the account for you and you can
send me your key for password-less
access.
This is not for 'backup' account
or secondary tech shell account.
It's not a development shell
where tons of tools will be availble.
I'll keep the number of packages
install to a minimum, while making
it fun to use.
It's also on the 'experimental'
phase. It's hosted in my studio
therefore it's limited in bandwith
and powerfailure are frequent
in the winter.
