Since my phlog is about half about me reading  C's phlog (nm03),  I have two
shots in the dark for, under openbsd, Firefox not downloading things and BSD
make(1)   issuing   weird  parse errors,  both of which  are  probably,   or
hopefully,  features  and not bugs.  One feature  of openbsd  is  unveil(2).
Unveil  lets you unveil certain files or directories  to your program.  Once
those places  have been unveiled,  your program is not allowed to access any
other locations.   Openbsd patches firefox to use unveil.  However,  I would
expect  that  downloading   to (or uploading  from) ~/Downloads/   would  be
allowed. 

Often we clone/download openbsd's ports tree to /usr/ports so we can inspect
it,  or do the builds ourselves  ->  www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html  I
investigated the unveil thing by going 

```ksh
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox-esr/
grep -ri unveil
```

With regard  to BSD make(1)  failing to parse  GNU Makefiles,  this is to be
expected. Instead 

```ksh
pkg_add gmake
```

and issue gmake(1) (GNU make) instead.

I have opinions on Davide Mitoli's opinions on starting a podcast. I have to
say, I hate the notion  of using web podcasting corporate platforms.  I have
never experienced one, but I have a rough idea of what people mean when they
say YouTube  and I also don't like that.  Time was I did listen to a podcast
named  Very Bad Wizards  which was two psych teachers  shooting  the  breeze
about what they saw on television  lately  spliced  with psych101.   It  was
available  to download on their website, though  their moneymaker  was Apple
Podcasts. 

] This profound negativity  is by way of saying please make any such podcast
available   as gopher  item type 9 or else gopher+  < (audio  file)  or  the
occasionally used s (sound / wav). 

Itemtype  9 is also somewhat suitable  for streaming,  since the rule is for
the client to read the response  until the server closes the stream.  If you
had an eminently streamable  file format I guess you could  do that and just
open the file.

So far I think only I have ever queried my i2p (invisible internet protocol)
clock utility, or my i2p amazing lynx gopher chat Experience.

...Y'know...    I'm pretty  sure my phlog  post works  out of the box  under
openbsd... 

What I did eventually look at was actually-looking-at-i2p. The only way that
obviously presented itself to me to try was to go to 

```ksh
proxychains4 lynx identiguy.i2p
```

Which is the default collection of pet names i2p normally ships with.  Since
i2p addresses are long and random-looking  cryptographic strings, there is a
pet name config to give them local short and memorable names:  The canonical
ones being the ones at this address having the petname identiguy.i2p itself.

I simply tried looking at every petname address and got to somewhere  in the
Bs. About one sixth there were lynx-visitable  public web pages generally of
the cybersecurity tech blog variety. Half were in English. I came across one
i2p search  engine, where I searched  for gopher which found a bunch  of i2p
bbs results  of people talking about setting up i2p gopher forums.   So they
are there... They are just... Underground...
