I just use my software #bartleby to maintain a library catalog of almost everything in my Gopherhole, which includes generating atom feeds. See: gopher://gopher.someodd.zip:70/1library/catalog

#whisperradio is now reachable via #Gopher, served by my #venusia, relayed by a Literate #Haskell script (Markdown):
* runghc is too slow, can't pin deps/GHC
* So I built a launcher that compiles/fetches cache
* Each literate script declares its own deps + resolver
Try it:
nc gopher.someodd.zip 70 <<< /applets/icecast.lhs | mpv --no-cache -
Messy writeup (cataloged with my #bartleby):

I feel like I must apologize publicly for being flakey and hard to reach at times
I've been battling with severe sleep issues that makes the smallest of tasks daunting

Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World". I went the other way.
Introducing GASM: A Gopher server in pure i386 Assembly.
💾 Binary: 1.5KB
🧠 RAM: 24KB (Verified with pmap)
🚫 Dependencies: 0 (No libc, pure syscalls)
🦕 Min Spec: Intel 386DX (1985)
Probably runs on the shittiest hardware you can find, or on your Ryzen 9.

Anyone ever check out Granule?

Which programming languages (bonus for the strange and academic) excite you?

Private namespaces are frustrating in my opinion.
its better off as a warning/sugguestion like starting a name with an underscore to say "hey beware there be dragons here," or "you know there's probably a nicer way of doing this?"
I keep running into wanting to extend Haskell code, but a lot of Haskell libraries overzealously hide everything they don't want to be the public facing API .

If you appreciate the #GopherProtocol please reply/like/repost.
I have something to ask of the community!
