Eploring Gopher — Hi guys, since Gemini I heard about Gopher so many times but I've never dug into a Gopher hole... Can you share with some Gopher holes to learn and understand more about it? Thanks... 🙏

Running Gemini and HTTP from a 12US$ SBC — I am proud to have migrated my Gemini capsule and web blog into an Orange Pi Zero that I bought years ago and never really knew what to do with because it was so underpowered. However, hosting both protocols is requiring only a handful of megabytes of RAM, so I am eager to think about more use cases for it!

post-web zine vol 1.1 — I stumbled upon the Post-Web Zine. Its authors clearly want out of the status quo web. Notably, they also see "web3" and related efforts as insufficiently concerned with interoperability. I think folks interested in permacomputing and the smol web might find something interesting here.

Looking for an alternative, smolweb inspired, web browser... 🙏 — Hello folks, I am currently using LibreWolf but unfortunately it is still Firefox. I tested other alternative browsers and the best one I found has been: Surf; however it didn't match all my needs, which are: smaller footprint fast & light, alternative UI toolkit tab support ADS & Tracker block sock5 support easy bookmarking JavaScript support Usually lightweight browsers, like Dillo, does not support JavaScript therefore it is...

Analytics for the smol web and geminispace — Is there a software for analytics that is suitable for the smol web and geminispace? Something as simple as analyzing Nginx/Molly Brown logs and building static HTML with charts, maybe using client-side JS, and running periodically with Cron. Preferably to be in the Debian repositories, but I also consider other options. Free and open-source, of course. I am able to create something like this myself, but I hope to save time and get something well...

Which parts of the web want saving? Which can we do without? — Let’s have an unrealistic hypothetical here. Suppose the http web were replaced entirely by a new protocol (or maybe set of protocols?) which allowed for client side scripting, unrestricted styling, and all the other aspects of the web which make it distinct. Except this time, everything was being built from scratch, with person-first values in mind, like privacy, accessibility, ease of use, etc. The designers of this protocol are...

Question about the Small Web — I'm not sure about a lot of the benifits of the small web. Like there's nothing to stop web crawlers from mining data and using LLMs to associate a user name to a legal name, there's very few people that share the same life story. I bet the archives in Textfiles.com has pointed what a kid said 35 years ago to his late 40's legal name by some Pinkertons. There's also nothing we can do about if one day there's spam like there's Spam in usenet now. There's also...

A humble website list (An interstring experiment) — Like many people here I suppose I'm feed up with the "current" state of the web. Tracking is ubiquitous, you have no expectation of privacy and search results are most of the time utter crap. So I started to simply make manually a list of website I find interesting. I just enter them in some very simple cloud note app so I can get them whenever I need to. In a way its similar to bookmarks but I prefered the "full page" list experience, and...

superTXT — so I'm trying to wrap my mind around this SuperTXT protocol but I'm just not understanding it all that well. It seems to be a version of gemtext that is accessed via SSH based tools. I haven't tried the graphical browser but was wondering if this is the basis of it?
