Although you are spam, I’ll reply anyways.

Yes my content is stolen all the time. I didn’t do good enough of a job to protect it, so there is that. On the otherhand I have the originals…

I’ve retained lawyers before, and yes it’s 10-15k USD to start something, usually finishing around 100-500k to finish. YES I’ve done this before.

No it really wasn’t worth it, turns out the worm had no blood to squeeze.

So occasionally I make nonsensical posts, and get people banned/censored for making fun of their autocratic dictators/and/or untouchable classes.

Hopefully I haven’t talked it up too much. I figured I’d get it to a “good enough” stage. Source and binaries at https://github.com/pgodwin/GopherServer/releases

Config is in GopherServer.exe.config. It’s set up to listen on 127.0.0.1:70 and point to this site.

It seems to work okay from my testing, but needs some caching, etc.

This is so awesome! I have a Windows machine or 12 so it doesn’t matter.. NFS will get me what I need so I’ll be fine.

You’ll have to get this to the overbite and other gopher people to bring the protocol back.. as always, content is King, and by proxy “haha” you’ll have made it a great platform again!

Its just consuming the WordPress API (https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/). So you just point it to that and it does the rest. I was originally going to use the RSS feeds, but this ended up being a fair bit more flexible.
It does some basic html parsing to try and format things as much as possible (this probably needs the most work as there’s a lot of room to improve that). There’s a proxy for images to convert them to gif on the fly. I’m considering building a http proxy in too.

It’s currently a .NET app, but should run under mono as is. However I do want to make sure it runs under dot net core (https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/linux).
I’ll put it up on GitHub by the weekend.

whoa! that looks awesome!!!

How would one feed it? mysql access, or does it just rip the pages itself?

Either way, I’d be delighted to run it on my gopher!

I’d been considering doing a small Gopher server for my old machines here. I wanted to build something where you could plug in your own “providers” into it (ie you code however you want to process a selector)

It’s still a work in progress, but here’s a couple of screenshots of it consuming the WordPress REST API:

Hoping to finish it and release it this weekend.

$99 is a bit much for something I’ll honestly not use for more than a few hours. I still run OS/2 2.00 for my BBS, and the problem is that it does such a good job, it’s daunting to even think about going back to mess with it.
