I've been curious about exploring other non-HTTP minimalist internet protocols such as Gopher or Gemini, but frankly I don't know where to begin. Are there any good tutorials out there for folks looking to get started, or can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I haven’t had a chance to check this out yet, but worth a look. https://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/

I’m more interested in using these protocols on some vintage tech, but this might be a quick way to get started.

Nice, thanks! Exactly what I was thinking - I have some old laptops that I was hoping to revitalize, and this seems like a good way to get some use out of them

I have an old NeXTStation from that era…the company Steve Jobs started when he left Apple. I need to get it connected to the network and see if I can get it to connect with something via Gopher.

Mental Outlaw and DistroTube (both on YouTube/Odysee) have some decent videos on each.
