A few minutes ago its author, Lars Windolf, contacted me by email for letting me know that latest version of Liferea, 1.16.6, now supports Gopher. I already added it to the list of RSS clients with gopher support[2]. ...Sun, 14 Dec 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1214-liferea_now_supports_gopher.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1212-interview_with_mark_p_mccahill.txt Today I added to the Gopher Archaeology section of this gopher hole the pdf: "Oral History 328: An Interview With Mark P.

After updating the devlog[1] I reviewed it and I realized that the next Christmas Eve it will be exactly four months since I put online the private beta and started this gopher hole. Also on Christmas it will be exactly four months since I published the very first post on the Spanish version[2] of this phlog. ...Thu, 11 Dec 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1211-four_months_on_christmas.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1201-setting_up_a_gcc_toolchain_for_programming_arduino_in_plain_c.txt I published on the articles section of this Gopherhole a new howto about setting up a GCC toolchain for programming an arduino in plain C.

In this post I'm going to explain what I've done to make them work on my ThinkPad T430. I know not every Thinkpad is the same but I hope this little guide will help Phil with his X270 and other people who also own a ThinkPad. ...Thu, 27 Nov 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1127-setting_up_the_fn_keys_of_a_thinkpad_t430_on_freebsd.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1126-changes_on_my_mail.txt A few days ago I switched my mail client from Thunderbird to Mutt[1]. I'm one of those people who still download their mail via POP3, I don't use IMAP, sorry but no sorry. Call me oldman if you like it but I prefer to have my things on my own computer rather than on someone else's and I prefer to have them offline, so for me a mail client is a very important piece of software. Over the years I've used several and, if my memory doesn't fail, the two I've used the most have been Evolution and Thunderbird. ...Wed, 26 Nov 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1126-changes_on_my_mail.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1116-free_as_in_freedomn_versions_of_devuan_and_debian.txt I had seen in Simon Joseffsson's blog that he released the project "Debian Libre Live". A project that aims to release Debian GNU/Linux Live images with only free software, i.e. what Debian was before taking the decision to include non-free things inside the main distro Live images. Simon talks about this project in his blog[1] and you can check out his Gitlab repository[2] too. ...Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1116-free_as_in_freedomn_versions_of_devuan_and_debian.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1114-gopher_archaeology.txt Today I added to this Gopher hole a new section called "Gopher Archaeology".

On Mastodon Phil of Nagatha [1] did the comment that Fossil just needs a Gopher interface ;-)[2], and this morning browsing my list of favourite Gopher holes I came accross this post by Ben Collver: "Coprolit For Gopher & Fossil SCM"[3] an awk script that does exactly what Phil was asking for. So Phil, Ben already got that covered :-) ...Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:10:00 GMTgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1113-ben_collvers_coprolit_for_gopher_and_fossil_scm.txtgopher://lucio.albenga.es:70/0/lfa/en/phlog/2025/1112-from_git_to_fossil.txt Recently I switched from Git to Fossil and today I published in the articles section of this gopher hole a longform article with my reasons for switching, how cool Fossil is and a howto with the steps for switching and how to start to work with Fossil.
