@flexion #Gopher? WTF!

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

looks like gopher is still around and more active than usenet :) just signed the guestbook on magical.fish 😎

@flexion Irix was where I learned Alias PowerAnimator v6.0 back in the '90s. A friend of the family was going on vacation for a few months and didn't want his expensive Indy workstation to sit unused so he lent it to me. I was madly impressed by Irix. It still looks like the best GUI design ever!

@flexion how is this not dead? This is astonishing.

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@flexion oh to be capable of scheduling laundry

Not only Gopher, but also Gemini! gemini://taz.de

Old and new awesomeness!

#gopher #gemini #smolweb

@flexion (though i guess just in time is a type of scheduling)

[lfa@hostux.social]

@bojanlandekic @flexion I still hear the crystal clear sounds when clicking on the toolchest or an icon on the desktop while sitting at an Octane in 2000, maintaining an art installation by Sommerer & Mignonneau during the exhibition „vision.ruhr“ in Dortmund. https://235media.de/2000/12/vision-ruhr/?lang=en Great experience.

@flexion Wir sollten in Ergänzung zum Telnet-Feedbackkanal vielleicht auch mal über eine Gopher-Seite nachdenken, @eba 🥸

[santiago@mastodon.uy]

@flexion That is one gorgeous desktop, can you comment a bit more about the system specs and software? absolutely beautiful

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

@andi
@flexion Makes sense to provide both at once, since Gopher and Gemini use a very similar syntax

@santiago The screenshots were taken on a SiliconGraphics Indigo2 Solid IMPACT 10000 with 195MHz MIPS processor and 384 MB RAM running IRIX 6.5.22.

Thanks for the information. This means I can use my VAXstation with VMS and mosaic as well :)

@flexion good to know! lynx also does gopher.

Not sure it I manage to start reading a daily newspaper, but.
