Nah!
You're hallucinating!
I don't exist!
Every Messner knows that!
So this explains why this page is absolutely empty!
More somewhen later.
I need to fix my Dillo Nex plugin first.
And all I need for that is a test page with a width of 80 chars.

* [2025-08-26]
- My nex: server in Nim seems to run ™good enough™ on my Penguins. No NPS yet,
but on *nixens it easily could be an own process, so maybe some day ...
- My minimal Nex plugin for Dillo got dedusted and a small fix.
* [2025-08-27]
- My minimal nex: server written in Nim seems to happily run on MetBSD and
OpenBSD too, but not yet safe enough for use cases in the global net.
- My minimal nex: server written in MicroPython got fixed. It still is not
restricting the requests strict enough to be called safe, but it is ok for
tests in a single user LAN like mine. I don't grok mPy's async routines yet,
so running it on a micro-controller will block and allow no NPS at the same
time. I've no idea when I will look at that again.
* [2025-08-28]
- You may call me crazy. But only up to three times! Ok? I finally tested
HTML over nex: served by a gopher: server. Will your browser like that?
=> nex://yeti.freeshell.org:70/users/yeti/nex/a-little-secret.html
* [2025-09-08]
- Nope! No mind breaking news.
- I stumbled into Mozz's notes about nex: and I think there still are a lot of
questioens unanswered.
=> nex://mozz.us/nex-protocol-notes.txt
- Mostly harmless are the other things mentioned at Mozz's station:
=> nex://mozz.us/
- I played a bit more with Nim and hope to someday understand MicroPython's
async stuff.
- After half a crisis about the discrepancy between nex's spec and the reality
found among the texts in the stations I adapted my Dillo plugin's rendering of
links to allow garbage following "=> path-or-url". Trailing line contents
will not be used as the text of the HTML link, it will just be placed after
the original link wrapped into "<a href=...>...</a>".
* [2025-11-07]
Moved the NEX served over Gopger test page from ...
!> nex://sdf.org:70/users/yeti/index.html
... to ...
=> nex://yeti.freeshell.org:70/users/yeti/nex/a-little-secret.html
The previous one will contain a hint about this for a while.
The link in section [2025-08-28] was updated.
* To Do List (™Dark Energy Inside!™)
- A Nex plugin for W3m and Chawan. That might even be the same translating
local CGI that works for both browsers.
* Open Questions
- What's that currency (see garden and watering) usable for? Are there already
some ideas?

A bit more UTF-torture which may
– depending on the fonts used –
break the desired effect.

Yes!
