Gophernicus server uptime leaderboard | |
------------------------------------- | |
Kim Holviala's popular Gophernicus gopher server has an automatically | |
generated selector (/server-status) which displays some server | |
statistics, including details such as uptime, number of requests | |
answered and number of kilobytes served. I've written a simple Python | |
script to scrape this content for all the Gophernicus-powered gopher | |
servers I know of, and nicely format the results into a leaderboard, | |
showing who has the most uptime. | |
I wrote this mostly for fun and out of curiosity as to the results. I | |
hope it might be useful for people thinking of joining a free | |
gopherspace provider who want to make an informed choice, but remember | |
that uptime isn't everything, and sometimes restarts are unavoidable | |
Often they're outside of the admin's power. | |
