I accidentally destroyed my gopherhole today. I was just
trying out the Phetch gopher client, and I noticed that my
phlog was no longer available. Apparently, the ASCII art I
had included in the gophermap was causing some errors, so I
started doing some edits, changing file permissions, etc.
Long story short, in the end I removed it by mistake. And
by "it", I mean the whole thing, not only the gophermap.
Wise as I am, before doing any of that I had created a
backup ... of the symbolic link pointing to the gopherhole,
not the gopherhole itself.
To be honest, not much was lost -- I hadn't updated the
phlog since 2019 -- but I feel like an idiot. I'll use this
opportunity to take this phlog more seriously. I think
it'll be fun to look at this in the future, and I might
improve my writing skills in the process.
