WIP: ANSI art modem download emulator

Hi again, Geminauts!

I'm playing around with streaming. I cloned a mirror of the ANSI art in
https://16colo.rs and hacked together a streaming server that emulates
modem download speed, converts content to UTF-8 and tries its best to wrap
at 80 columns since terminals are wider nowadays.

Try it with gemget or jetforce-client or some other client that supports
streaming, eg:
gemget -o- gemini://ansi.hrtk.in:2020/ansi/us-birth-of-mawu-liza.ans

The source is available on the site if someone is interested. If someone
wants to build a stable 16colo.rs mirror from that, I'd be really happy. I
care more for hacking than managing stable sites, and that site still needs
plenty of minor enhancements (starting from changing the server port...).

Wow, this is great! The modem speed is a cool idea, it looks very
nice loading in like that on gemget (cool to see you using it!).

16colo.rs is cool site too, nice find.

Could you let us know in this thread if you change the port or domain?


Thanks,

Yep! It's now running in the proper port with nicer routes
(/<filename.ans> for the artwork), properly wrapped as a systemd
service automatically provisioned with ansible so it should stay
running. :)

Now serving over 50k pieces of art now that I also included *.ANS in
addition to *.ans. And includes a (small) curated list of some great
pieces.

PS. While building this I submitted a patch for streaming and
full-domain reverse proxying to gemserv. Hoping to see more streaming
content; maybe people will get ideas :)
