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.
Now that lockdown is lifting a bit in Scotland, I’ve been going a bit further for exercise. One location I’ve been to a few times is Tyrebagger Woods. In theory, I can walk here from my house via Brimmond Hill although I’m not yet fit enough to do that in one go.
Instead of following the main path, I took a detour along some route that looked like it wanted to be a path but it hadn’t been maintained for a while.
I worked on HamBSD today, still looking at improvements to aprsisd(8). My focus today was on documentation, tests and tidying up. It’s good to keep technical debt in check and while no new big exciting features got made today on anything, lots of hard work was done.
I started the day on documentation, adding details on the new -b flag for aprsisd and details on which packets will be sent to APRS-IS.
