In: s/gopher

Iโ€™m using MeshGopher (not mine - https://github.com/jmansell90/meshgopher) which has a very basic gopher server built in, the builtin client chats via DM and will chunk text to get around the 200 byte limit. I was thinking about using gophernicus to add a bit of dynamic content (weather, etc).

Iโ€™m pondering about self hosting a small gopher hole on my raspberry pi. Itโ€™s mostly for #meshtastic (Iโ€™m using it as a BBS), but Iโ€™d like to show it off to people without a mesh of their own. Would it be a bad idea to open port 70 on my firewall? Iโ€™m intentionally avoiding any cgi so the surface area of attack in smallish.
