The end times approach. Gopher protocol over HTTP and support for TLS.
But seriously I now have the weirdest Masto timeline with Adam Curry NoAgenda Show folks and retro-hacker Gopher Protocol people.

I have that whole email thread archived.. What a trip.. Quite pleased that you're still leading on alternative ways to fund, create, and deliver quality content.
Indeed! I've been following the growing #gopher community. Definitely an example of a Retro Upgrade for our current computing environment.

Blaming the IRS for your poorly engineered software is sad. Most people can e-file.
Instead please:
1. Apologize for the problem.
2. Tell us when it will be fixed.
3. Remove the flippant smiley from your signature.
Looks like Adam Curry spoke about Internet Gopher on the Rogan Podcast, so I had to dig this out of the email archives from September '93

If you want you can refer to case #457576616 It's closed, but should have details.
Intuit/TurboTax has a market cap of $74B, and just spent $7B to buy Credit Karma. They can afford to hire people to manually fix these returns...
Heather -- please read the full thread (there are three pages of unhappy customers) It's a bug in Turbotax and it needs to be fixed.
Sending people who have experienced a loss to read IRS forms is just cruel.
Turbotax, you had one job.. Because of this bug surviving spouses have had to mail instead of e-file for years. I escalated with support. They said it would be fixed, but could not notify me when. Just keep trying...

So yeah, don't forget about your Drive Birthday quota expiration..
The current deal is 2TB for 9/year, which isn't bad. You also get 100 'play points', which nets you in raw play credit or more if you use in-app.
And plus it saves me from looking at S3 compatible archive options now... (I use restic + rclone to backup to drive..)

I miss the local ILEC ISPs. They really got so many people online while remaining true to their communities.
Glad that Gopher got the job done for you!
In 1991 a GB was ~$7k
Still amazed that we could pay for all that expensive hardware and had such lousy salaries.. At $30k/year 1 disk would be .3 SWE/y

Clarinet archiving looks to be taking up about 100K blocks (~50 Meg) a month, and if this is the case, we're going to want to get another disk for it, ideally 600+ Megabytes.
Bob forgot to mention that he maintained paperboy.micro.umn.edu, a Mac IIfx running INN for a good long while. That enabled Clarinet UPI news.
Having full text searches in 1992 blew people's minds. Plus you could bookmark a search, which was another game changer!
