2023.11.13 Mon 22:04 The weak are consumers, strong are producers All I wanted was to update my old website because it (\__/) was very outdated. THIS IS ALL I WANTED! Somehow I (*-* ) ended up in rabbit hole, or rather Gopher Hole. __/ \ /_\__ / `__ Y Y \ You see, upgrading personal website was not enough. ( (= \(__/ ) It felt naturally to also have an Gemini Capsule as | ) \ \ / very recently I created gmi100 [0] Gemini CLI client \_____/\____/ written in 100 lines of ANSI C. So I got myself and |(+) ( account on tilde.pink. But they also run Gopher. /"`'"\ This is actually very nice as I have now 3 layers of accessibility. Website for normies, Gemini for geeks but still not that obscure like my last deepest cave - the Gopher hole. Here I can write anything without expectation that anyone will read it and this feel liberating. Problem now is that I don't have a client for browsing Gopher space. I know that there are many great open source projects and official web proxy [1]. Still as a programmer capable of writing my own software I feel obligated to do so. It's a curse, constant suffering. The days when it was hard to have an idea for a project are gone and will never come back. How did that happen? I was programming for many years yet there always was and invisible unbreakable wall setting the limits of my power. Now I have problem with procrastination by programming [2]. It's probably because I learned ANSI C. And by that I understood how computers works. Now all I see are numbers. With that nothing feels impossible anymore. Without limits I feel free but freedom is just another cage. Anyway. Universe decided that I have to write Gopher Client someday. When I think about it I imagine that it will be yet another universal browser for multiple protocols. We will see, but not now as I already have ongoing project and plans for another right after. Don't expect any Gopher clients just yet, unless I will procrastinate, sigh u__u [0] http://irek.gabr.pl/gmi100 https://github.com/ir33k/gmi100 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36786239 [1] https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw [2] Yes it is a thing. It's like regular procrastination but instead of watching YouTube videos when you should work I secretly code my own stuff for hours promising myself that this is the last line that I will write but then another hour goes by, and another.
