The Gopher that won't die in any way Traditionally, I publish statistics on the traffic of our gopher:// server for the previous 3 months: ------------------------------------------------------------------ month rx | tx | total | avg. rate ----------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- 2025-01 1.97 GiB | 51.63 GiB | 53.60 GiB | 171.91 kbit/s 2025-02 2.76 GiB | 59.02 GiB | 61.78 GiB | 219.36 kbit/s 2025-03 2.60 GiB | 38.69 GiB | 41.30 GiB | 132.45 kbit/s As you can see, gopher:// will died again, and continues to become "obsolete", creating decent traffic. I want to say once again that the death of the gopher protocol is greatly exaggerated. It is now common to writing a lot about the fact that there are too few servers left in gopher://. In fact, you can solve this problem very easily. Place all your public files not on ftp or cloud storage, but on gopher servers. Think of gopher as a very convenient ftp with script support and no BigTech censorship, and not as something exotic. It's a great working cataloging tool and publish archives. People appreciate that you let them download files directly without SMS, registration, QR codes, and so on. The programs that I post here, as you know, are focused on legacy computers and devices. This is a market of about 500 million computers in Asia alone. And I want the users of these computers not to run through HTTPS:// sites in an attempt to download the necessary drivers and programs. I just want them to come directly from any legacy hardware here and download what they need. If we boycott the HTTPS protocol at least as a repository our public files and archives. Then the power of the globalists will be shatter even more. Publish your programs, scripts, books, and music for download via gopher:// And I think at least people will thank you for direct file access. In my opinion, HTTPS:// has "outlived its usefulness" as a protocol, it should burn out, just as the globalists' hopes for world domination burned out. Thank you for staying at GopherSpace!
