Yes, the guy that resurrected UMN #gopher is at it again. This time, I've made the first new #Kermit release in 15 years! https://changelog.complete.org/archives/44456-celebrating-45-years-of-kermit-with-the-first-new-c-kermit-release-in-15-years-and-working-with-a-decades-old-c-codebase This protocol, originally for serial lines, lives on and I use it as a powerful ssh wrapper daily. I added a modern test suite, fixed a ton of bugs, added IPv6 support.

And, rather to my surprise, ENJOYED working in a legacy #C codebase.

I am not accepting to treat bandali as a stallman effigy.

We *will* talk about human #emacs (anti #ai faction).

We are promoting awareness of bandali's new personal #snac #fedi instance (thanks @grunfink ), if you could follow / boost to that avail.

@WoodooProd

Under layers, the site forgot to mention #gopher :). Also #gemini protocol is rather new I find it quite good.

FWIW I moved my WEB Site to #gemini and using #gopher as a mirror. Both together are far easier to maintain than html.

Anyway I find the link interesting and I added it to my #lynx bookmarks.

"For instance is there anything similar to RSS for gopher."

'cURL' should be useful since it support gopher, although you will have to custom script it.

'Lynx' browser also handles gopher quite nicely and you should be able to use the -dump feature and parse what you want.

'sfeed' may also help: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/resolute/man1/sfeed_gopher.1.html

Debian / Ubuntu APT Package Manager
$ apt search gopher
$ apt-get install gophernicus bombadillo lynx curl kristall pygopherd sfeed

profit!

Lynx is great for browsing gopher and nntp.

Kristall is a graphical browser with gopher support.

Gophie browser:
"Gophie is the Open Source Gopher browser for Windows, macOS, Linux and many more operating systems with Java support. Gophie allows you to navigate the Gopherspace, read text, watch images and download files with the integrated download manager. If you don’t like what you see, then Gophie is also fully customisable!"
