Grex Gopher Server Seems to Be Having Trouble
| 
Jan 26 01:06 UTC 2021 |
The grex.org Gopher server seems to be having trouble. I was able to
connect to grex.org:70 using the 'gopher' client while logged in to Grex
today. If I can remembering correctly, I couldn't do this yesterday.
Additionally, and perhaps more significantly, I have not been able to
connect to grex.org:70 from hosts besides Grex itself. This is true both
of yesterday and today.
On a barely related note, I have lurked about Grex for a couple of
years, and I hope it can survive. I have recently gotten back into Mac
OS 9 "retro-"computing, and am currently logged in to Grex via SDF using
the new ssheven ssh client for Mac OS 9: github.com/cy384/ssheven
I like the slower, more thoughtful pace of computing that Mac OS 9 and
the slower hardware (iBook G3 500 MHz) seem to impose. "A bicycle for
the mind," not a street luge sled barreling uncontrollably down the
hill. It seems that grex.org is also more on the "slow computing" side
of things. Anyways, I don't know.
Now that I'm completely off-topic, would token donations be beneficial
for helping Grex keep going? With so many online services, I've not
often donated, but I'm thinking maybe I should be more responsible going
forward.
Multas gratias,
James
