Welcome to my little corner of the geminisphere. Here you will find a gemini version of my blog, my blog archives, books, and Usenet articles that I find are important, interesting, or otherwise notable.

## textfiles.com mirror
A while back, I grabbed a copy of Jason Scott's textfiles.com because I am an unashamed digital hoarder. Now I present it to you.
Read the disclaimer. Some of this stuff is highly dangerous (think, anarchist cookbook). Much of it is outdated like phone phreaking, and also much of it is offensive to all walks of life. Most of this was written and disseminated in the 80's and 90's through BBSs, though some of it is from the Usenet and other places.

Update: I've converted all of the index.html files to index.gmi for my Gemini server. Their still kind of iffy because they don't exactly follow good gemtext formatting, but everything works. I spent a couple of hours searching for sed commands to get them to the current status en masse because I don't have the time to edit them one at a time.

If you do something stupid with anything you read here, it's your own fault. Read at your own risk.

## CypherPunks Mailing List Archive
The CypherPunks are an interesting group of people. Most of them are vaguely Libertarian or anarchist. From this group you get people like Julian Assange and the founders of the EFF (Electronic Frontiers Foundation). Their heirs include the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto and Edward Snowden. Reading through these archives, you will see some famous names and a lot of trash. However, for the history lover, it's gold. What's the different between a Cyberpunk and a Cypherpunk? Cyberpunks cosplay. Cypherpunks write code.

## The UTZOO Tapes
From Wikipedia:
"In mid-December 2001, Google unveiled its improved Usenet archives, which now go more than a decade deeper into the Internet's past than did the millions of posts that the company had originally acquired when it bought an existing archive called Deja News.

Between 1981 and 1991, while running the zoology department's computer system at the University of Toronto, Spencer copied more than 2 million Usenet messages onto magnetic tapes. The 141 tapes wound up at the University of Western Ontario, where Google's Michael Schmidt tracked them down and, with the help of David Wiseman and others, got them transferred onto disks and into Google's archives."

Here is a local copy of the UTZOO tapes compressed and in tgz format.
