miki (nex server)
earlier today i noticed that my nex daemon was the most memory-hungry process on my openbsd server, which felt kind of... wrong? anyway, i wrote a server in c with the same functionality (based on my gemini and spartan servers)

like my go server, it's only active from dusk until dawn (well, roughly) and like my gemini and spartan servers, it's named after a character from the manga and anime city hunter

Like a drout living next to a dam
Like a nex server that consumes all the RAM
Isn't it ironic?
Wasn't it a song in the 90's?

When you need some blow, but all you got is one gram...
I was inspired by this, but wanted an even smaller server that I could run from inetd:

Why does it say it serves files with the correct MIME types? Nex does not have MIME types.
Good point. I need to clean this up. I got much help from an LLM putting this together. The Readme has some remains of its misunderstandings of the protocol.
