schestowitz[15:50] <thddx> you guys have a presence w/ gopher?Oct 12 00:26
schestowitzmaybe we should if the demand exist for it, but I never checked how to configure it with the existing stackOct 12 00:27
thddxi've not researched implementation extensively, but it looks easyOct 12 00:28
thddxthere's also the up-and-coming gemini if encryption is a priorityOct 12 00:28
thddxthe community seems rather apropos as wellOct 12 00:29
schestowitzI don't even know what features of browsing are supported and howOct 12 00:31
schestowitzmaybe serving simplified pages like RSS items can be made possible over gopherOct 12 00:32
schestowitza sort of alternative transport daemonOct 12 00:32
schestowitzbut URLs would then need to be converted as wellOct 12 00:32

schestowitzdo you know many who would use it?Oct 12 00:52
schestowitzI'd hate to spend days on something only one person usesOct 12 00:52
schestowitz(and could use http for)Oct 12 00:53
schestowitzgnunet is also an optionOct 12 00:53
schestowitzbut sometimes the people promoting these can help set up mirrors with those protocolsOct 12 00:53
thddxi do not have an estimate. probably not a good use of time if you are after scale, but i think it has potential to 're'-grow in timeOct 12 00:54
schestowitzI need to read about demon changesOct 12 00:57
schestowitzand protocol/port etc.Oct 12 00:57
schestowitzmaybe Ariadne has experience doing that because of pleroma work he did (they supported gopher at one point, maybe still do)Oct 12 00:57
schestowitzand we might move the site to a new environment at the back end "soon"Oct 12 00:58
thddxfloodgap is a good place to start: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com ; they probably have an http tooOct 12 01:02
thddxi'll probably fiddle w/ setting up a server this week, so i'll know more about it soonOct 12 01:02
thddxwhile probably small, the audience just seems on point. lots of weary refugees from big tech and the javascript-burdened webOct 12 01:07
XRevan86schestowitz: They have? That seems unlikely considering Pleroma FE can't work without JS (and even display an error message).Oct 12 01:11
XRevan86thddx: It doesn't seem like the Gopher community is interested in encryption.Oct 12 01:12
XRevan86As someone in Russia I find that unappealing.Oct 12 01:12
thddxwell, some are which is why gemini is being developedOct 12 01:12
thddxor just serve via a .onionOct 12 01:13

schestowitzno JSOct 12 01:15
schestowitzit has JS as optionalOct 12 01:15
schestowitzbut I toggle it offOct 12 01:15
XRevan86schestowitz: That is new-ishOct 12 01:16
schestowitzthe articles link to http(s) sitesOct 12 01:17
schestowitzso even if we made it 100% gopher, one might still need a web (www) browser at handOct 12 01:18
schestowitzthe whole thing isn't idealOct 12 01:18
schestowitzimagine mailing lists with a pgp key for each recipientOct 12 01:18
schestowitzand the references included in full as attachmentOct 12 01:18
schestowitzit would not scale well, would it?Oct 12 01:18
schestowitzthen you add images and videos as a factorOct 12 01:19
schestowitzand you see swapping http for something else would be lossyOct 12 01:19
thddxyeah, it's certainly not the protocol to use if multimedia is a core reqOct 12 01:21

*XRevan86 looks at gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/software/Oct 12 01:23
thddxbut yeah, gemini does include mime types in headersOct 12 01:23
XRevan86The Android client just crashed on me trying to load the Wikipedia mirror.Oct 12 01:26
XRevan86And the proxy to HTTP can't handle input, so Wikipedia is unusable.Oct 12 01:27

MinceRmaybe you should just say "Please hold. Your call is important to us." and play some elevator musicOct 12 19:31
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Seems it pisses Walmart off if you go there with $20 in small change and slowly feed it into the self checkout.Oct 12 19:48
DaemonFC[m]I've had them say "We have a Coinstar machine." I said, "Yeah, with an 8.9% counting fee.".Oct 12 19:49
DaemonFC[m]I suppose you could just skip the counting fee and get a Walmart gift card. Oct 12 19:49
MinceRthey should be glad you're feeding them to a self checkout and not to a cashierOct 12 19:50
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, next time I'll say "Well, I can bring a coffee jar of nickels, dimes, and pennies to a cashier that you have to pay $13.50 an hour to if it makes you feel better.".Oct 12 19:50
DaemonFC[m]They're saying coin shortage and then getting mad at you for spending  your coins.Oct 12 19:51

MinceRthey kept whining about how they didn't want to do business and making extremely lame jokes about closingOct 12 19:53
DaemonFC[m]They print them up every now and then because the law says they have to replace old ones that were in circulation.Oct 12 19:53
DaemonFC[m]I think the last batch was series 2006 or something.Oct 12 19:53

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: I outdid myself this time.Oct 12 22:51
DaemonFC[m]I stood there paying for my groceries with a jar of pennies while I was waiting for Mandy to get off work.Oct 12 22:51
DaemonFC[m]Turns out there's a little over $12 in an instant coffee jar of pennies. Oct 12 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Took me bout 25 minutes to feed it into the self-checkout though.Oct 12 22:52
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Oh, then it's fine :)Oct 12 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Everyone hates pennies. Oct 12 22:52
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: I thought you fed it to a cashier :)Oct 12 22:53
DaemonFC[m]They cost more to handle than they're worth. Oct 12 22:53
XRevan86The shop will probably throw them away too :DOct 12 22:54
DaemonFC[m]Well, when a single cabbage costs $2.67....Oct 12 22:54
DaemonFC[m]267 pennies just to buy a cabbage. Oct 12 22:54
DaemonFC[m]You're not really supposed to spend them like that, but they build up on you.Oct 12 22:56
DaemonFC[m]So just using them to make exact payment doesn't really work and you have to drop them in a coin counter eventually.Oct 12 22:56
DaemonFC[m]<XRevan86 "The shop will probably throw the"> They just spit them back out as change I guess.Oct 12 22:59
