@cobra have you tried gopher:// yet?
@cobra You could take look at my list of self-hosted app/services I've built over the years:

Self-hosted Golang apps by James Mills / prologic

👌

@prologic I think you forgot pollinator (might try it sometime @ kyokonet just for the hell of it >;P)
@akoizumi That one never got finished, which is why I didn't list it 😢

@cobra I like Geomyidae, but it doesn't have per-user Gopherspace. Gophernicus does, along with a few other bells and whistles.
@cobra Sounds like you _could_ adapt the hello example in the repo I linked above to suit your needs? @mckinley once upon a time (now archived and no longer online) I used to write and maintain a Gopher daemon called cgod written in Python. I never ported it to Go though, but if anyone is ever interested ,I can bring it back out of the archive and put it online. I _may_ even port it to Go if there's enough interest. I _actually_ like Gopher more than Gemini tbh 😅

@prologic It's called "cgod" and it isn't written in C *or* Go? I want my money back...

I also like Gopher more than Gemini. The problem Gemini is trying to solve is better solved by just writing static HTML 4.01 pages.
@mckinley it even has "go" in the name, but it's not written in go. I'm very disappointed.
@mckinley what problem does Gopher solve?
@eaplmx gopher solve the problem of not having enough burrows under your lawn
@eaplmx Gopher is designed to be a simple way to access information on the Internet, as an alternative to the World Wide Web. No markup, just plain text and hyperlinks to resources.

Gemini is too simple in the wrong places, e.g. the very limited Markdown-lite. It's also too complicated in the wrong places, e.g. mandatory encryption.

Gopher's continued usage even after being "beaten" by the Web speaks volumes. I don't hate Gemini. Actually, I enjoy exploring Geminispace from time to time. I think it's a fad, though. People aren't going to use it in 30 years.

(Assertions like that, when it comes to technology, never come true. In 30 years, when Gemini takes over, feel free to come back to this twt and make fun of me. It won't be the first time an inferior protocol becomes dominant.)
@mckinley I'm old enough that I used and got used to gopher before I encountered "the web", which I thought of as gopher with pictures for a long time
gopher is not a healthy ecosystem. What happened in 2017-2018 to temporarily bump it up?

@aryak I need a bit more to go on 😅

@aryak How did you build this? _Could_ be a bug... But need to repro to fix it if it is a bug...

@aryak I'll try to reproduce tomorrow and see if there's a bug... 👌

I re-tested a build of spyda (production build) and I cannot re-produce... Except... Is it possible you are running the binary with the -D/--debug flag turned on? 🤔

@aryak You are using a completely different tool for minifying the Web Assets 😢

Please install and use this one instead:

@aryak Congrats, I'm glad to see another gopherhole online. I need to set one up myself.
