Today Netsensei showed me his Gopher client he was working on. The
project name is Bougie and can be found at:
(HTM) https://github.com/netsensei/bougie
Looks like a fun project. Back to the old times of the Internet,
when things were still smooth and simple.
What does one need more than a text based client? All the layouts,
videos, images are just making us into dumb scrolling monkeys
spending countless hours consuming social media junk.
I was wondering if Gopher could be used in a scholarly
communication context. Installing the server was quite easy:
apt update
apt install gophernicus
and you are up and running. Next, create a /src/gopher directory
for the content. Et voila, ça marche.
