@skyjake I noticed you setup a finger server! A post on what finger server you used and how you set it up would be pretty cool - I'm considering setting up one myself.

@gnuserland Finger is a really old-school Unix protocol from the 70s, so more related to Gopher. It can be sort of integrated with Gemini, though. I've set up mine to serve a specific .gmi page that goes through a formatting script so that the output is hard-wrapped. 路 2 years ago

The server is `efingerd`. It's nice because all responses can be generated via shell scripts. I'll see if I can make a post about it. 路 2 years ago
