Goodbye I2P and Yggdrasil, Welcome Telnet!
📆 2026-08-25 11:43
A small change to the sava.rocks infrastructure today: the site is no longer available through I2P or Yggdrasil.
On the 2026-03-19 I joined I2P and Yggdrasil:
While checking the logs from my Nginx Proxy Manager, I noticed that both of these networks were getting roughly 5–25 hits per day. That's not exactly what you call traffic.
6 months is enough for "testing the water".
Keeping services running just for the sake of saying they're running doesn't make much sense when practically nobody is using them. So, after a little consideration, I decided to shut down the I2P and Yggdrasil endpoints.
The regular web, Gemini, Gopher and finger servers of sava.rocks remain available.
But there is a new toy
I've also created an interactive Telnet server for sava.rocks. It felt like something was missing from the small-web collection. Gopher, Gemini, and Finger were all happily doing their thing, but somehow they were missing a proper Telnet server.
So naturally, the only reasonable solution was to add one:
It's a little more interactive than simply serving a page, and there's some fun stuff hidden in there.
If you're feeling nostalgic, curious, or just want to see what happens when you type telnet sava.rocks, give it a try.
The invisible internet may have lost two endpoints: goodbye I2P and Yggdrasil 👋 but the terminal is still alive - welcome Telnet!
