My Phlog is Now on the Republic
I've moved my phlog over to the Republic server, which seemed
natural since as the admin I'm logged in there all the time anyway.
I'm keeping this phlog up so that any older, inbound links are not
broken.

A Quick Update, Thanks and Comments on Perl
Just a quick phlog post as I've been insanely busy at work and left
with no energy to phlog lately.

More Republic Updates
Work on the Republic and the greater circumlunar.space universe
continues!
Zaibatsu sundog visiblink has setup an XMPP server for use by all
circumlunar.space users.
(TXT) gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~visiblink/phlog/20181228_XMPP
This is a really great idea, thanks to visiblink for setting that
up. I've tested connections from the Republic to
xmpp.circumlunar.space and they work great, using mcabber.
New user requests continue to come in. I added two more users
yesterday to bring the total up to seven. I've updated the republic
gopher homepage to reflect the new additions to the gopher-verse,
and I'll also setup a moku-pona page similar to the one on the
Zaibatsu to show recent updates, once more of the gopher holes start
to be populated with updates.
On the email front, the republic now allows email (TLS on port 25
required) to and from the the bigger pubnix domains, including SDF
(sdf.org, tx0.org, freeshell.org), grex.org, and tilde.team, and of
course internal email between any circumlunar.space servers has
always been allowed. This is thanks to Solderpunk's rework of the
postfix config on the Zaibatsu.
My next priority is to update the user orientation and setup a
shared VC repo so that interested users can assist in maintaining
the help documents. I envision something similar to SDF's tutorials,
albeit on gopher, not the www.

New Users and a Quick Update on the Republic
The Republic had four new user requests this week (three of them
yesterday and today), as I set them up you'll see their gopher holes
come online. Lntl was the first, and he has already started updating
his phlog. The others will be linked from the Republic's gopher
homepage in the next few days. Welcome all!

Solderpunk and I have also worked on getting finger servers
configured on Zaibatsu and Republic. FreeBSD's finger daemon is a
bit more secure as far as providing the ability to hide login
database info (particularly the remote IP address of a user), so
I've opened up finger requests from SDF, grex and tilde.team. I can
open up access from other pubnixes by request.

Registration is Open for The Republic Server
Registration is now open at republic.circumlunar.space! And just in
time as the flagship zaibatsu server is now full and no longer
accepting new users.
Solderpunk and I have completed integration of his 'telem' bbs
client, so now users on both servers can read and reply to posts
made by users on the other server. As I noted before, inter-server
email and a private IRC network are also online. I spent some time
writing up some new user documentation and so we're as ready as we
will ever be.
If you would like an account on the new server, which comes with
shell access and 500MB of disk/gopherspace, email me at my SDF
address, slugmax@sdf.org. Full instructions are here:

FreeBSD and Republic.circumlunar.space Update
The new republic server is running FeeeBSD 11.2. I haven't worked
with FreeBSD in a long while and I'm enjoying getting my hands dirty
again - I used to run my personal email server on FreeBSD, way back
on version 6 (or thereabouts). I later migrated my server to Debian
where it has run for years, although my last upgrade just a few
months ago was to Devuan, as I could not stomach a switch to
systemd.

Coming Soon - Republic.circumlunar.space
Solderpunk and I have been discussing adding a new server to the
circumlunar.space universe (hereinafter called the verse). It would
be similar in nature to his own server zaibatsu.circumlunar.space.
At first it will offer gopher hosting and shell access, with local
email (just among the circumlunar servers), and fairly quickly
thereafter a shared or federated bbs, so that users can post and
read bbs (gboard) updates from users on other servers in the verse.

Email Providers and Pubnix
Cdmnky talks about email providers. I tried protonmail briefly but
deleted my account, it seemed to me to be a bit gimmicky, and less
than useful without direct imap support.

Cannabis now Legal in Canada
Well today cannabis became legal in Canada. Here in Quebec, it's
legal to possess up to 30 grams for anyone 18 or over. Of course the
news has been full of warnings with stories focusing on side effects
and kids. I sense a bit of discomfort from certain professionals
talking about legally using a psychoactive drug, but I think it will
all be fine. My own experience as a paramedic has shown me the evils
of alcohol abuse, but I don't see any reason to fear cannabis, which
generally makes people mellow and hungry. Not really a recipe for
violence.

(DIR) Tomasino talks about maps and bugout bags.
Paper maps are undervalued as a resource. I've been steered wrong
(literally) by google maps many times, due to new construction or
just plain bad data. The heavy and ongoing construction around
Montreal is a prime example. I've never been sent off course by a
decent map, even in cases of construction blockage it gives you a
large overview and sense of your position that those small
smartphone screens just can't match. And of course topo maps are a
necessity for extended wilderness treks. When we travel we always
have maps of the areas we are traveling to in the glove box, as a
backup.
As for bugout bags, I've been remiss since moving and have not put
together what we had in place before. But this mention of it spurs
me to do just that, especially with winter fast approaching.
