The Wandering Geek phosted about "Gopher Annoyances"[1] on 20210417
and has some interesting comments regarding authoring gopher phosts
It had me thinking about how I format my phosts and the organizatio
of my gopherhole.
For my gopherhole, I generally stick to 69 characters for the width
cuz "69, dude!" Also, that seems the most comfortable for my viewi
I have a generic template for my phosts and I use my top and bottom
horizontal lines for loose visual guides.
There is no automation or scripting for my gopherhole. My content
is basically manual. Perhaps because that is what I am used to.
Even my web site[2] is done manually in vim and actually looks very
much like my gopherhole.
I have tried Pocket Gopher client on Android and it seems wrong to
me. Especially touching the screen. I prefer to view gopher from
the terminal, usually with lynx, like the Wandering Geek. I have
tried bombadillo for both gopher and gemini, but it took me awhile
to get used to navigation. Also, in gemini some of the sites I try
to visit via CAPCOM or SPACEWALK have certificate or access issues
and I cannot access them in bombadillo so I load them up in a gemin
web proxy, which seems kinda silly to me. I think the proxy just
ignores the errors or something and displays the content. Even
loading gopherholes via the Floodgap's web proxy in a GUI browser
seems odd to me. I guess I just want my gopher/gemini text in the
terminal.
So for now, I have pretty much defaulted back to lynx as my main
client for text browsing. No issues with gopher and I can view
gemini in lynx via the gemini to web proxy hosted at portal.mozz.us
and stay in the lynx client. I usually use the Project Gemini
Capsule[3] over at cirucumlunar.space for my gemini exploration
launching point. Maybe I will find something better, but for now,
lynx seems to be the path of least resistance.
