> A plan is a text file named .plan that is located in your main directory. It is displayed when someone checks your account with the finger command. A project file is similar to a .plan file, but is only one line long and has the filename .project. Most people put personal information, such as a weekly schedule or office hours, in a .plan file, and a very brief description of current goals in a .project file.
I've vaguely wondered about .project for a long time.
The man page has never been explicit about it, at least on Linux.
Even the OpenBSD man page doesn't explain.

Gemini client torture test suite.
Fixed a few things in gurl.
Love Go.
Grab somebody's Go project, and there's a 98% chance it will build on the first attempt.
Grab somebody's C/C++ project, and there's a 60% chance it won't build without significant screwing around.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_protocol
> Supplying such detailed information as e-mail addresses and full names was considered acceptable and convenient in the early days of networking, but later was considered questionable for privacy and security reasons. Finger information has been used by hackers as a way to initiate a social engineering attack on a company's computer security system. By using a finger client to get a list of a company's employee names, email addresses, phone numbers, and so on, a hacker can call or email someone at a company requesting information while posing as another employee.
This seems so quaint — we abandoned a whole protocol, and fled to Facebook and LinkedIn.
Trying out the Dark Reader extension for Firefox.
Chatted with Jay on Signal a bit, then for quite a while on Jitsi.
Another pretty moon tonight.

> Gopher is the information without the flair, the HTML without the Javascript. Gopher gives me what I want when what I want is to read stuff, not like/comment/interact/favorite/share etc. I'm a big fan of all of those things, but sometimes I just want to read a thing on an old computer and follow a few links. Gopher lets me do that. It's ultimate Old Web and I am one of those ultimate Old Web ladies who still uses Lynx occasionally just so some BOFH will see it in their web logfiles and, hopefully, smile.

I love the Gemini protocol, but I still haven't found a client I love.
(Plus, it's fun writing software for it.)
I've already written gurl, a curl-like client to download a Gemini document.
What if we build a proxy (or even a full client, eventually) piece by piece?
Gurl is the downloader/gateway to the outside Geminiverse.
What other components?
A filter to turn Gemini into HTML.
