| Gophernicus server uptime leaderboard
-------------------------------------
Kim Holviala's popular Gophernicus gopher server has an automatically
generated selector (/server-status) which displays some server
statistics, including details such as uptime, number of requests
answered and number of kilobytes served. I've written a simple Python
script to scrape this content for all the Gophernicus-powered gopher
servers I know of, and nicely format the results into a leaderboard,
showing who has the most uptime.
I wrote this mostly for fun and out of curiosity as to the results. I
hope it might be useful for people thinking of joining a free
gopherspace provider who want to make an informed choice, but remember
that uptime isn't everything, and sometimes restarts are unavoidable
Often they're outside of the admin's power.
