@tomasino @saper Yes, and especially simple as many times people read gopher via ssh, as I do. It’s quite nice like bbs. But there ought to be a terser way of coding colour like IRC, especially since the escapes swallow up linespace for more intricate colour ASCII art in gophermaps.

@tomasino @dirtycommo I didn’t know that, thanks heaps! But how can one authenticate as particular user? What if one wants one’s own key?

@tomasino Yes, I love lolcat | cowsay

@tomasino @dirtycommo Can you please explain to me, perchance, the whole “we don’t need a secure gopher because you can just put it behind Tor” idea to me? I seriously am trying to understand how that secures gopher. How would Gopher best work with TLS?

@tomasino @dirtycommo I try to be sympathetic. There is an undeniable charm to the elegance (or laconic terseness) of Gopher. And there is some golden age nostalgia mingling with a rightful fear of what the Web has become. But somehow I doubt Faceborg will be swamping Gopherspace any time soon. And some of the filetypes in gopher are pretty stale. So a Gopher++ wouldn’t be a bad idea. And why not have fun with it?

@tomasino Haha, no, I meant 16 colours. Not 16 millions. 256 is a befuddling plethora to my plebeian tastes.

I actually had heaps trouble getting terminal colours going on my systems for a while because often the xterm256 (sic?) bit isn’t flipped by default or isn’t transmitted by ssh by default etc. I suppose it is not important for most. But I like to have a pretty rainbow cowsay!

Asterisk email notifications of voicemail on #SDF are ever so polite and endearing.

*Terribly sorry to bother you, but you have a voicemail. When you have a chance and have done some self care, it might be nice to have a listen. Until then, please take a delicious cordial and enjoy some soothing music.

Sincerely Yours,
Asterisk*

I wanna be a script kiddie when I grow up.

@lesbianhacker @dirtycommo Seconded.

@technomancy This is proactive solidarity. Thanks!

@dirtycommo Counterpoint! I love the phrase “somewhat smol”.

@dirtycommo @tomasino Better fools than us have tried! Gopher+ is now abandoned and reviled as a pretender. But apparently Gopher Colour may yet have legs, as it’s not a sPeCiFiCaTiOn enhancement per se, but just a content enhancement. It has been poo-pooed from on high regardless, apparently. But I’m ever so glad to see them what have skills make it a reality.

What tasty toasties would you fancy to develop in gopher, FW?

@tomasino How come you chose h, l, n etc. For your colour tags?

Do you reckon this colour cgi will work if expanded, like I reckoned to make a 16 colour version to at least do xterm rainbow per line easily. Is that alright?

What do you call this bash cgi whatsit?

Sorry to spam, but this is very cute.

@tomasino Thank you! I am looking at it and even think I know how it works. So a Agent looks at gopher and a cgi index serves a gophermap and bash script defines colours. That’s crazygonuts! No doubt it is naughty to purists. But I think it’s simply gorgeous!
