  • day 9: back to

    A number of years ago I setup my own search tool for the gopherspace. I've not re-done a full crawl since getting it working, and due to some design issues, it eventually stopped working reliably enough to keep running. Due to RSI issues, I have prioritized other projects in the intervening years, but have slowly made a list of notes and plans for fixing it. Today's adventure is the first part in implementing my plan and getting it back to a useable state.

    I've rewritten the crawler. The new one is a lot less buggy than the original, and has a number of improvement including a correctly working filter (supporting robots.txt and a defined list of servers not to index), better discovery of servers from the gopher maps, tracking when servers were last scanned, request rate limiting, and facilities for avoiding recording duplicate entries.

    My initial tests have been on my main gopher server (forthworks.com:70) and a number of my private ones. This totals 32k selectors across 3 servers. I'm going to start a broader scan of the public gopherspace soon, so will update once I get through the initial scan of a few servers.

    Day 10: I was given some really awful, but intense, pre-workout this morning, and the jitteriness hasn't really left yet, I bounced between things all day. I've improved SunflowerBASIC so that it handles theme files better, I added a 80 columns marker to Left to see how wide the paragraphs are at a glance, I spent some time setting up ScummVM, so Rek and I can play The Neverhood over the holidays. I also played with Spirographs and did some proof-reading for the Victoria-Sitka Logbook.https://rabbits.srht.site/decadv/#DecemberAdventure

    ** ** *_* / /_____ ____ / /_(_) /__ / **/ ** \/ ** \/ **/ / //_// /_/ /_/ / /_/ / /_/ / ,< \__/\____/\____/\__/_/_/|_| tootik v0.19.9=> https://github.com/dimkr/tootiktootik is a federated nanoblogging service for the small internet.tootik allows people to participate in the fediverse using their Gemini, Gopher or Finger client of choice and makes the fediverse lighter, more private and more accessible. tootik's interface strips content to bare essentials (like text and links), puts the users in control of the content they see and tries to "slow down" the fediverse to make it more compatible with the slower pace of the small internet.It's a single executable that handles both the federation (using ActivityPub) and the frontend (using Gemini) aspects, while sqlite takes care of persistency. It should be lightweight and efficient enough to host a small community even on a cheap server, and hopefully, be easy to hack on.tootik implements only a small subset of ActivityPub, and probably doesn't really conform to the spec.Changelog:=> https://github.com/dimkr/tootik/releases/tag/v0.19.9#Gemini #Gopher #Guppy #Fediverse #ActivityPub
