Do more of what increases happiness, and less of what doesn't?
I've been enjoying the heck out of Gopher and Gemini spaces the last couple months.
Found "Bombadillo" a fun way to experience both in a somewhat consistent way.
Funny story of frustration down that path, though. I wrote a Lua script that presents a list of Gopher/Gemini servers via "less -X", then prompts for one of them, and launches Bombadillo against the one I select. Love it.
But then the other day I accidentally hit 'q' while reading the post in someone's phlog (or was it gemlog? whatever...), bouncing me out of Bombadillo and back to the list displayed by "less -X"... and I've no idea what server that phlog/gemlog was in... no idea what link-following shit I did to get to it... so, ugh... I was sooooo looking forward to reading more of that author, and now I have to wait until I chance upon their phlog/gemlog again, because Bombadillo has no notion of a saved URL history.... I'll have to see if it has a setting to 'q' leads to an "Are you sure?" dialog instead of just immediate death... (just peeked its manpage... nopers....)
