@ckeen @mwlucas @tomasino GOPHER? There is a protocol you don't see every day!

BTW, some guy has worked out a #C64 #GEOS gopher client.

@profoundlynerdy @mwlucas @tomasino Wow this is awesome!

@profoundlynerdy @ckeen relevant: https://blog.soykaf.com/post/gopher-support-in-pleroma/

@lain @ckeen thanks. Also, blogging in markdown looks cool.

@profoundlynerdy @ckeen @mwlucas @tomasino well, some of us do see it every day!

@dbucklin @ckeen @mwlucas @tomasino I'll be interested when gopher adds support for TLS.

@profoundlynerdy @dbucklin @mwlucas @tomasino

Oh that's a recurring topic and no consensus has been reached yet.

As gopher works over any transport protocol I recommend using a Tor hidden service. You get an authenticated and encrypted connection for free, works behind NATs and additionally protects your identity...

@profoundlynerdy @dbucklin @ckeen @mwlucas oh, I've got notes on gopher tls somewhere around here

@tomasino @profoundlynerdy @dbucklin @mwlucas
