Tagging @bouncinglime and @Kyle Barbour for obscure counter-culture animation.

It's just not the Halloween-to-Thanksgiving holiday season without the Great Pumpkin putting a hit on Charlie Brown. "Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown" (1986).

Although he was a lovely guy, he was a member of the university swordfighting club which was always kind of a magnet for dickheads.
-
Just found an old university friend on YouTube. He looks like a serial killer. Did he always look like a serial killer? *Is* he a serial killer? So many questions.

What's worse is I want that extension so bad. I want it more than Spacey wants kids. I did a similar Greasemonkey script once that would alter the names of any months on any website you visited, and it replaced them with names I came up with. June was Strangelymoist. July was Cleanpants. It was great. Though I did try to watch some YouTube videos by a musician called April March and it screwed her name up to buggery.

God damn right. This might be the only good news in politics I've heard in nearly two years. After everything the no-vote people have said — all the petty, bizarre, insulting, and emotionally manipulative bullshit — they can eat my turds. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/14/world/australia/yes-same-sex-marriage-gay.html

@h That's gorgeous. Does it have an HTTP library? Let's roll a webserver in Colonoscopy.
-
@h I'm-a put in a vote for Prolog. And *when* are we going to get Firefox ported to Brainfuck?!
-
@mwlucas They did have a dreaded "Mastodon has set fire to your shoes" bug, but that was patched pretty quickly.
-
@mwlucas Surely not! The whole point of Mastodon is being able to host your own instance to do whatever you want and still talk to anyone in the Fediverse. Although it *is* against the law to use a domain name that isn't hilarious. Just FYI.
-
Eeesh, you were absolutely right. I opened the site with a different browser and it looked ghastly. I switched out all the unicode for ASCII and that seems to have made it a bit less cruddy for now. Thanks for the tip-off.
-
Thanks! I also appreciate the feedback, but I'm not sure how to set the encoding. Gopher menu files don't have any encoding information, and there aren't any settings for that in PyGopherd. It looked okay with Lynx when I was getting things set up.
Actually encoding is a really interesting question. Back in the day files were probably just assumed to be ASCII, but I don't know if there's unicode support now.
-
Not that the web interface works especially well, but buggered if I'm spending any time at 1:40 am debugging it :P
-
@bouncinglime Whaddya know, it looks like there's a web interface too!
http://gopher.fuzzjunket.com:70/
Spoiler alert: it's just a mirror of my normal blog, www.fuzzjunket.com. It was kind of fun using Gopher, though. Maybe I'll do some Gopher-only content :P
It's been refreshing to browse Gopherspace the last couple of days. Remember that time in the 90s when everyone had a homepage? Hell, everyone's *dog* had a homepage. They might have been crap, but at least it was something someone made. Gopher reminds me a lot of that time — people making their own sites just for the fun of it.
-
@bouncinglime Twidere just does Twitter, I think, but you should be able to follow Kyle from your Mastodon instance because Mastodon and Friendica talk to each other. You can grab someone's username@instance, go to your contacts page, and add them there. Kyle would be kyle@mulligrubs.me.
-
@ajroach42 Oh man, I've been wanting to do that and bring it in to work. People would freak out if they saw me reading my work email through Mutt using a Tandy 100.
-
@ajroach42 If the earliest one is a 386 (or thereabouts) I think most of them could be made useful today. A home mail server or a static web server (or your gopher server) could happily live on something that small and slow. Just whack a 500 MB hard drive in there off eBay and you're good to go.
Even older stuff can be useful too. There were some gorgeous little portables like the NC100 which give you a full keyboard, a small LCD screen, a word processor, and BASIC. Those things are wizard for writing on the go. Anything that needs an external screen, though, like a Commodore 64, is probably only good as a hobby machine.

@ajroach42 I've only recently been getting into this too. I've got to say it's very cool, and definitely refreshing to see such a minimalist alternative to the Web. I busted my hump and decided to port my blog to a "phlog", so come say hi sometime:
gopher://gopher.fuzzjunket.com
Let me know when you've got your phlog ready to rumble — I'd love to have a gander.
-
I can't believe I just spent the last 24 hours doing this, but I ported my whole website to #Gopher and am now serving up a Gopher #phlog:
gopher://gopher.fuzzjunket.com
This might be a new level of nerdy hipsterism, but goddamn I am so tired with the modern Web. It's so nice to see a platform that only serves up things people actually made.
