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. |
