schestowitz>> Maybe the slowness can work in our favour, on the tech side at least.Oct 12 16:37

schestowitz>> Yesterday someone suggested we run over gopher, too...Oct 12 16:37
schestowitz>>Oct 12 16:37
schestowitz>> Don't know how many Net romanticists would use that thoughOct 12 16:37
schestowitz>>Oct 12 16:37
schestowitz> Gopher is easy to set up but making a converter to save the WordPressOct 12 16:37
schestowitz> pages as static text would be another matter.  For the connoisseursOct 12 16:37
schestowitz> maybe gopher as an Onion service?Oct 12 16:37
schestowitzI don't have any experience doing this.Oct 12 16:37
schestowitzDo you?Oct 12 16:38
schestowitzNot a loaded question (text lacks nuance)Oct 12 16:38
schestowitz> It's very simple to set up Onion services.  Have the service listen at aOct 12 18:30
schestowitz> port, restricted to the localhost address.  Then have tor point to it.Oct 12 18:30
schestowitz> Only two configurations are needed beyond the normal ones - one each inOct 12 18:30
schestowitz> Tor and the service to be Onionized.Oct 12 18:30
schestowitz>Oct 12 18:30
schestowitz> If HTTP can listen on the localhost, which it seems to, that could alsoOct 12 18:30
schestowitz> be set up as an Onion service in a minute or two.Oct 12 18:30
schestowitz>Oct 12 18:30
schestowitz> However there is a backlog of more important changes and updates.Oct 12 18:30
schestowitzYes, and if we're about to make large changes, then better to put aside tasks that would require re-doing. I've uploaded a new mouse button-bound script to ~/bin last night. On TR. I also updated some old versions of your scripts, based on the latest in ~/binOct 12 18:30
