      3 Gopher stuff
      4 
      5     I've  been messing around with Gopherproxy (The one from
      6 gopher.mills.io); instead of Pygopherd so I can keep Geomyi-
      7 dae as my main gopher server software and have easy http ac-
      8 cess for easy sharing. Also will  probably  use  the  Gopher
      9 edition  of Stagit alongside of regular HTTP stagit for con-
     10 tinuity.

     12 Solar??
     13 
     14     A small solar powered Raspberry Pi hosting  thing  would
     15 be  pretty  cool, in my opinion. Maybe make some sort of off
     16 grid system for long range LoRa to internet  thing.  Like  a
     17 server  that  sends  updates over the air in the middle of a
     18 field, or some remote radio astronomy stuff, like  an  array
     19 of  some  sort?   More realistically this would be somewhere
     20 with limited connection to send very limited text updates to
     21 a remote location with broader  connection  capabilities  to
     22 post  on the wider web. Like a super slow cabin logging sys-
     23 tem that can post to my favorite plain text  protocols!  And
     24 possibly  receive text based updates, like news, weather and
     25 the like.
     26 
     27     Now thinking about some sort of field station/server/re-
     28 lay/radio thing almost like some sort of  intractable  thing
     29 straight  out  of Death Stranding or something like a Cyber-
     30 punk data term. I'm envisioning something  that  looks  like
     31 Anduril's  Pulsar system, but instead of radio based defense
     32 it’s an easy deploy‐able, long range, nearly off‐grid commu-
     33 nications system. With the current  geomagnetic  storms  and
     34 talk  of  a  magnetic  pole shift; a system that is somewhat
     35 shielded from such events might actually prove useful  some-
     36 day too.

     38 Journaling?
     39 
     40     The  Netcat text wall needs some sort of real purpose...
     41 Currently guessing it will end  up  being  a  simple  public
     42 journal.  Although  resetting, simple paste service might be
     43 interesting too.
