I miss gopher support on kolibriOS, it's the brother "simple" protocol for hypermedia. No TLS support as IRC, but you can either: - use TOR over a gopher client. - use and promote Gemini in paralell. With Bitlbee and sacc(1) I can access even HN via Gopher and comment it on Telegram via sic(1). Magical and my setup could work even under a 286 with Minix2.

Gopherus will run on dos on a 8086. I believe it will even work with less than 512KB.

Yeah, I know that. There are even some clients for the ZX Spectrum Next.

The spectrum not-next would be cool.

The next is very OP.

I wonder if an Altair could use Gopher over serial<->ESP wifi.
