Explore a random Gopher hole

Created 2022-07-01

Here's a fun thing to try: explore a random gopher hole! It's

simple. All you need is this simple script:


     #!/usr/bin/env bash
     #lucky dip on a gopher site

     # FreeBSD users should: pkg install shuf

     RND=`echo /links | nc kamalatta.ddnss.de 70 | egrep ^1 | shuf -n 1 | cut -f3`
     gopher gopher://$RND

Downloadable script

It works on the fact that kamalatta.ddnss.de keeps a list of work-

ing gopherholes. This script downloads the list, and picks one at

random using the shuf command.

Enjoy :)
