After almost 2 days online I can say that Goophy is doing well. I already have my gopherhole with more content online and I made it bilingual English / Spanish but I don't plan to keep 1-1 translations of everything. We will see.
Some screenshots below for showing it up & running. The client used is Lagrange Gemini / Gopher client.
You can visit my gopherhole at gopher://lucio.albenga.es
A new gopher hole and gopher server are born!! 
Finally the first private beta of Goophy is up and running on the Raspberry Pi with NetBSD. You can check it out with your favorite gopher client at:
gopher://lucio.albenga.es
I promise I'll put more content in the following days, but right now I'm excited to have it online 
Let me know if you find any bugs.
Neuer Blog: „time_t Cast Away: Bits über Bord und der Y2K38 Bug ist zurück“
Die Umstellung auf 64-Bit-time_t gilt als Lösung für das Year 2038 Problem. Doch Direct Casts machen den Fix schnell unwirksam – und schicken uns zurück ins Jahr 1901.
Auf das Wortspiel bin ich ein bisschen stolz 
Mission accomplished!
Config file works as expected and with this I'm ready for a first private beta 
Next step: installing NetBSD on my Raspberry Pi 2 for putting this online and see what happens 
Today I'm working on a config file system for the server. We will see how it goes 
After writing so much software in C# and TypeScript during the past years, I felt a bit burned out.
- Decided I need a little "OOP detox"
- Dived a little into Rust for a while
- Result: great language, but did not fully click in some aspects
So now I am doing the only sensible thing:
Getting back into C. 
Finally I have a working logging system. Yesterday I had almost completed a first version but today I thought, wouldn’t it be better if…? And I jumped at it
There is room for improvement but I'm quite happy with it right now. I hope to have my private beta ready this week.
The do...while() loop is a great and elegant construct for avoiding off-by-one errors. Shame for all the languages that don't have it. Of course C has it
First version of the logging system almost finished. I have to fix a few formatting things but I have a working logfile. Almost all of the debug printf have disappeared
Fixed my very first "buffer underflow" since the 90s , refactored and improved code readability, doc comments, etc. I'm quite happy with the current status.
Next step: adding the logging system and removing all the debugging prints. Maybe I'll continue later, who knows... 
As promised, here we go: #Goophy in action. As you can see it's approaching an usable status.
Next steps: refactor more code, add a logging system and start my own gopherhole to test it in a real case scenario.
You also know you're making progress when valgrind output looks like this:
==32514== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible
==32514==
==32514== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)
Stay tuned, later in the day I'll show you current project status
You know you're not making any progress if you don't get a Segmentation Fault once in a while 
Say what you want but GDB and Valgrind are invaluable pieces of my c programming arsenal 
More progress done. Some code refactor here and there, some security things like avoiding access to not authorized files and paths, gophermaps already supported... not bad at all
Funny story of the day: I was testing the program and I was excited because everything worked fine. Suddenly I realized a thing was working but it shouldn't. Why was it working? 
Because the data I was using didn't cover that specific use case yet

#Goophy DevLog 
---------------------------------
First steps of a pet project of mine. A Gopher server in C called Goophy. I'm making it for educational purposes and to use it myself in the (near?) future.
The test client is elpher a gopher / gemini client for emacs.
I do a lot of programming in C which usually contains a bunch of functions that I create. Just curious... am I the only one that always ends my main() function by printing "END OF LINE."? Just wondering...
