I have been kicking around the idea for a while of doing a rewrite on RPoD. I want to remove the textfiles mirror and all other content I did not produce. I am also kicking around the idea of changing to a different gopherd (still to be determined), in any case, I also want to go fully static and so I need to figure out what CGI apps I want to absolutely keep (moving them to SDF), and what I truly am `meh' about. My phlog auto archive (past years still reachable by same selector, but hidden from the main listing) may be a deciding factor to not go fully static. I need to explore all stable options, and there are a lot of these!
The eleven and a half gigabytes of the RPoD gopherhole is too damn much for any sort of portability. This is another driver of the thought process that has led me to consider this action. If nothing else, being unemployed has made me wary of perceived permanence. A reasonable size and thoughtful structure will greatly aid this endeavor.
Got opinions on gopherd's or any other topics this entry touched on? Just finger redacted@1436.ninja to get my contact info and drop me a line, or make a reply post as is traditional.
