i+   short success, it declined, but is now striving  again	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   to be used for its simplicity and hierarchy.  For bet-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   ter visual display  of  your  gopher  experience,  use	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   something  like links, lynx or sacc.  Those are gopher	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   clients.	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+   >> How does Geomyidae help with getting  started  with	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    gopher?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   The installation of Geomyidae is very simple.  You can	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   setup your Geomyidae right away:	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   git clone git://bitreich.org/geomyidae	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   cd geomyidae	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   make	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   curl -s gopher://localhost:7070	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Yes, curl supports gopher!  And it supports gopher and	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   TLS too!	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Are there many alternatives among gopher daemons?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Yes, there are many.  Some are there due to historical	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   reasons, others have gone out of shape over time.  One	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   of the most popular alternatives is pygopherd.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> How does Geomyidae compares  to  other  implementa-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    tions?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Geomyidae offers a unique simple way of expressing go-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   pher  content.  See the manpage or the examples in the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   source for how .gph files are formatted.  And it  does	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   just  what  you want it to do.  No strange abstraction	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   files like in the original gopher daemons are the  de-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   fault way.  In the newest release of Geomyidae compat-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   ibility scripts were added.  But those are to preserve	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   the unique history of gopher.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Did Geomyidae have significant evolutions since the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    beginning?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Yes.  Originally Geomyidae was named gopherd for  Plan	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   9.  It then was ported over to Linux.  On Linux it was	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   renamed to Geomyidae.  During  that  development  much	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   has  happened: There were significant speedups (due to	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   the patches and work of other people!), features  were	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   added especially in new dynamic content handling.  You	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   can easily see all features in the  documentation  and	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   especially the simple manpage.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Does Geomyidae work with all gopher clients?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Yes.  Geomyidae supports the  original  protocol  from	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   the  beginning, up to modern gopher with TLS.  For the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   intermediary gopher+ protocol there is a compatibility	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   layer.	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> How does gopher help with privacy?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   The gopher protocol has the unique property  that  all	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   data  you  send over the line can be easily controlled	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   and seen.  This is different to HTTP,  where  headers,	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   HTML  and  Javascript got so complex, it is uncontrol-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   lable.     See    the     gopher     onion     project	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   (gopher://bitreich.org/1/onion)  for  how  to  combine	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   this with tor for total privacy and anonymity.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Are there TLS support on some  gopher  clients  al-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    ready?	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   There is support in curl, mpv/ffmpeg, sacc  and  more.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   It is very easy to add TLS support to any client.  You	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   simply connect via TLS and if it works, keep that con-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   nection open.  s,via TLS,& on the gopher TCP port (de-	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Are there been any evolution of the gopher protocol	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    itself  since  the beginning of Geomyidae?  The tech-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    nology used is simple.  Gopher  does  not  allow  re-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    quests, which begin with the first bytes of a TLS re-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    quest.  So any proper and old gopher daemon will sim-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    ply  refuse  the connection.  Then the client is free	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    to reconnect without TLS based on its  security  con-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    figuration.   Any  ISDN line will handle such probing	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    requests for TLS easily.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Did Geomyidae have to adapt itself  to  the  gopher	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    protocol?  Did  it  make  gopher  change?   Geomyidae	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    changed the part of gophespace it was able to  reach.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    Many  servers  run  on  Geomyidae.  There is software	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    written just for Geomyidae and its gph  format.   The	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    TLS  extension  of  the protocol came from Bitreich /	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    Geomyidae.  We also set the standard  to  simply  use	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    UTF-8  as  default representation in gopher menus and	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    so bring it into the 21st century.  I  can  conclude:	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    Yes,   Geomyidae  changed  and  will  change  gopher.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    s,changed,&,	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Have you seen Geomyidae ever used outside  a  hobby	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    project?   Well,  Bitreich is serious in changing the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    software world.  Most of gopherspace is  »hobby  pro-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    jects«.   But  then, most of gopherspace is made from	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    heart blood and love, which makes it part of the life	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    of the authors.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Is Geomyidae ready for non-hobby  uses?   Geomyidae	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    is  ready for any use.  It is stable and optimized to	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    scale better than the cloud.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Geomyidae uses ".gph" files.  Does it  replace  the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    gophermap  standard?  Yes, in Geomyidae it does.  Gph	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    is simpler and easier to adapt  to,  especially  when	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    you come from some markup world.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   >> Does Geomyidae support  dynamic  pages?   Geomyidae	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    supports  two  forms of dynamic pages: One which uses	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    the gph markup and one, where the  script/application	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    outputs  raw gopher output.  Additionally it supports	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    in the latest release a form of REST, where paths are	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    transformed into arguments to scripts.  There is also	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+    support for index.dcgi/index.cgi scripts to have bet-	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+   It is essentially a pioneer of Open Hardware for crit-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   ical  medical devices, step-by-step paving up the road	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   toward certification: designing and  building  devices	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   to  test  these  equipment, issuing standards for data	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   (like a JSON schema received over a  serial  port  di-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   rectly from the device).	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   The strategy: offering reproducible tests as an anchor	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   for  trust.   Precious  argument for facing big pharma	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   equipment vendors that are having an interest in lock-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   ing  their  device down, preventing repair or even in-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   spection.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   In a same journey toward  braving  Goliath:  accessing	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   the  Outter  Space.   And it is, as crazy as it looks,	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   far from impossible to contribute  to  space  research	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   even without a diploma: The RTEMS [2] project is  open	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   to contribution.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   But that does not discourage the authors of the respi-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   rator project to keep going.  Not in a blind trust for	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   the medical industry, but in full foresight  that  no-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   body would want its mom's life given to a hobbyist toy	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   made in a garage.  With this reality in  mind,  "what-	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   ever  it takes" turns into "whatever is done", and the	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   road to certification  progresses,  one  breath  at  a	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   time.	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Compiled languages, in particular those with  a  small	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+   so,  to  this day, we use it.  It was ported from For-	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+   Nobody ever actually understood it, so they didn't fix	Err	bitreich.org	70

i+   times since it was written.	Err	bitreich.org	70
i+	Err	bitreich.org	70
