@acsawdey @davidgerard Please an entire Gopher based info sharing platform would be great.

@acsawdey @davidgerard If you still want "social media" then bring back Usenet and BBS.

@davidgerard I'm already on web 5. It's a LAN covering 6 computers in some guy's house, and he's serving wikipedia off of a cd-rom, along with some other reference material, using one of those multi-cd bays that libraries used in the 90s. It's much more advanced than the current web, because there's no Linkedin.

@Walker @acsawdey @davidgerard What is BBS?
@Epic_Null @acsawdey @davidgerard
In the event that you are not trolling my advanced age, BBS = bulletin board system, traditionally accessed through a dial up modem.
Height of popularity 1980s - 1990s. About the same time as Gopher usage. BBSes were much more popular than Gopher, AFAIK.

@Walker @Epic_Null @davidgerard To be fair, gopher was doing fine until some guy at CERN wrote a paper and then some other guys at NCSA hacked together something called "Mosaic" .. BBSs I associate with direct dialup but gopher is an "early internet" thing.

We're going all the way back to RTTY on 14.080–14.099 MHz over HF... 45.45 baud should be enough for anyone!

@malvarma @davidgerard
It's certainly possible to serve an entire copy of Wikipedia and Gutenberg off a 15 year old PC.However my experiments at 300 baud on Wireless 20 years ago suggested that at that speed only NTTP, POP3 & SMTP with plain text worked sanely. The overhead for HTML, never mind HTTP, is too high. SFTP/SSH depends only what it is. A pigeon with a mircoSD card can be better. Or sneaker-net with microSd, USB sticks / USB HDD instead of 1980s floppies for large file transfer.
