What happened to Grex's Gopher server?
| 
Apr 4 12:44 UTC 2017 |
I have been told, Grex had an awesome Gopher server at one time. What happened
to it? I see there is a Gopher client, and it points to quux.org ( think?)
rather than alot pointing to floodgap's gopherhole. It would be nice to have
a Gopher server here, maybe like SDF offering gohper hosting? Een better
though, imo - would be a shared gopher server. A collaborative gopherhole.
Is anybody still interested in gopher here? What do you think of a grex
gopher server?

I see it as one more thing we don't have time to administer myself, and
I'd question if we could even build it at this point, considering the
overall state of the system.

Hi tonster,
There seem to be two questions now:
How difficult would it be to administer a gopher server here on grex?
What is the overall state of the system?

I gave up gopher holes.

The overall state of the system is bad, frankly. We're many
years behind on upgrading the basic OS and frankly we want
to move to FreeBSD anyway.
But I'm not sure what the appeal of a gopher server would be?
Aside from a certain "retro" thing, Gopher's pretty much gone
by the wayside....
