Grex Garage Item 61: Grex Gopher Server Seems to Be Having Trouble
Entered by jmahoney on Tue Jan 26 01:06:49 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
