Venelles<p>I use a couple of php backends in my gopher hole, and they work well. To do this I added php as a filter in /usr/lib/gophernicus/filters. However I discovered that in order to also make php files available for download, I needed to add the .txt extension, or gophernicus would attempt to run the file instead of displaying it. So instead I've opened an anonymous read-only ftp server and linked to it here:</p><p><a href="gopher://spike.nagatha.fr" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible"></span><span class="">gopher://spike.nagatha.fr</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gopher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gopher</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gopherprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gopherprotocol</span></a></p>

OldCoderSubject: Lightweight FOSS web browser<br><br>There aren't many realistic FOSS alternatives to the Firefox and Chromium families of web browsers. Most actively developed <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/foss" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> browsers are forks or spoons of one or the other. The exceptions, such as Ladybird and WebKitGTK MiniBrowser, typically aren't far along in development [e.g. Ladybird] or are limited in scope [e.g. MiniBrowser].<br><br>However, I compiled and tested a lightweight <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/qt6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Qt6</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/browser" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browser</a> named <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/dooble" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dooble</a> today and I'm pleased to report that it works well for general browsing. As one test, this post is being made using Dooble.<br><br>The primary limitation that I've noticed is that most videos won't play. In general, the browser is usable even on modern and/or high-JavaScript sites such as LinkedIn and Google News.<br><br>Dooble doesn't support uBlock Origin, but it does support domain-level blocklists in AdGuard format. Other features include tabs, cookie management, search suggestions, <a class="hashtag" href="https://dansu.org/tag/gopher" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gopher</a> support, custom search engines, CSS and JavaScript injection, low dependencies [aside from Qt6], and multiple security measures. The GitHub link for the browser is:<br><br><a href="https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble.git" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble.git</a><br><br><span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>itsfoss</span></a></span>
