3-16-2023 - Gopher proxy
----

As I continue to build out this gopher space, I naturally want to do
some amount of promotion of the content here.  Gopher affords a
certain obscurity that is more of a feature than a bug, but _some_
amount of promotion is warranted.  I want the content here to find an
audience of _some kind_ -- in order to be useful and worth my time, 
anyway.

I also want to promote the Gopher protocol itself -- to help prove
its continued relevance.  So to that end, I set up a simple nginx
redirect so that HTTP requests coming into gopher.jonsharp.net on
port 80 are redirected to the Floodgap Gopher proxy, proxying this
gopher site.

I may do more down the road to set up my own proxy for this purpose,
perhaps with some additional custom behaviors, but for now, I think
this will serve the purpose well -- allowing non-gopher-native users
an easy shortcut for accessing my gopher content.
