Re: [gopher] the final stage of the buildup of the beginning of the planning of the inception of the moving of gopher.floodgap.com

[gopher] welcome to the new hotness

The new gopher server is, finally, up. As promised it has two 4.2GHz cores,
8GB of RAM and a RAID 5 SAS array. It's pretty fast.

It's still accessible as gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/ (but if you are using
helsinki, you need to change the hostname, as helsinki is now an internal
system only once more).

Veronica-2 has been rewritten to take advantage of the bigger beef. Multi
keyword queries now work better. Try stuff like

	windows gopher client
	commodore 64 emulator
	obama economy 2011
	colorado springs weather
	gopher manifesto
	veronica 2

I am trying to work on concurrency with the robot so crawling can proceed
apace while complex queries can still function. This is sometimes tricky
with MySQL. I'm looking at a generous internal limit to see if I can reduce
lock contention timeouts, which are now more of an issue since I migrated
from MyISAM to InnoDB.

Because of the bigger limit, VISHNU is not as effective since it gets
mired in a whole bunch of minimal folders. I'm working on adding relevance
weighting to its groupings, but this is harder and so VISHNU is "more
experimental" than usual right now.

Note that the database is smaller, not only because there is less crap in it
but also because it has not crawled as extensively yet. Some of the mega

[gopher] RSS -> gopher: who was working on that?

Who was working on RSS -> gopher solutions? I have someone who could
really make use of them. I have a few for /feeds, but they're custom
oneshot jobs written for specific feed parsing.

I was looking at some XML-based ones a while ago. The relevant
gopherspace was: <gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/jacobh/rss> but it seems
not to be working at present. I'll have a look when I have a spare
minute to see what's gone wrong.

a fast hack is here [0]. See the source at [1] for further
details. For making it useful in a raw output, you will only
have to change the print lines. The raw ones would be type 'i'
and the links only need some tab replacements.

The intended use is [2]. Since there is no real security check-
ing, this is inhibited.

Christoph and Jacob, I'm going to put you in touch with Edward Vielmetti,
who's looking at using this for some local resources (target is mobile
devices). See separate E-mail.

Looks okay here, I just checked

	gopher://gopher.r-36.net/0/rss.py

in OverbiteFF and I get a Python script.

[gopher] Same machine, new domain

Hello all,

Some years ago my host has been added to the list of remaining gopher
servers. (Thanks for that, btw). Now the machine still exists but
DynDNS blocked the domain last week. Thus ncc-1701a.homelinux.net has
become there-is.no-ip.org because I didn't bother to pay for
reactivation ...

I don't remember who maintains the list or if it's still active. But it
would be great if you could change my entry. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Dennis Schulmeister
