On the day before my 0b100000 birthday, I finally deployed my personal Gopherhole on my cheap VPS. Under the domain that had waited long enough until this moment. And it’s going to have unique content, not mirrored anywhere else and not mirroring any materials from my “big Web” resources. And all my main publishing activity is going to be there from now on.
Bopher-NG has surpassed 300 SLOC. Well, it still is under 350 and probably will stay that way for a long, long time. I’m not a big fan of feature creep, and, for example, adding (optional) clipboard copying support to the link stash functionality only took a single line in the corresponding function (see the README for details). But I needed existing functions to work as they should. And this led me the way to finally contradict the assumptions made back then when creating the original Bopher prototype, the
Yes, I did it. And it lives here, in the Bopher-NG repo . And it still is under 300 SLOC of pure Bash code. And it now supports mouse, history, proper statusbar, link stashing, force downloading, standard gopher:// URIs and is overall much faster than the prototype. But that’s not what my today’s post will be about.
