I’ve recently started organising my “library”. This includes physical books, electronic books, posters, QSL cards, challenge coins and other interesting artifacts. The process of documentation has helped to remove some of the feeling of clutter, and turned it into something more valuable. In particular, manuals and leaflets that came with appliances and electronics that would usually be thrown in a box and forgotten about can now be found easily by simply searching a list to see if I have it.
Installing Gophernicus on OpenBSD was actually rather simple. It is packaged so a simple:
doas pkg_add gophernicus will install the necessary files. According to the pkg-readme the preferred way to run it is through inetd so that’s what I set up. The exact line I added to /etc/inetd.conf was:
gopher stream tcp nowait _gophernicus /usr/local/libexec/in.gophernicus in.gophernicus -h irl.xyz In the example, the hostname is in double quotes but the quotes ended up appearing in gophermap outputs so I removed them and testing with lynx everything is working now.
