HTTP mirror

I made a simple tool some time ago to extract the content of an email, and publish it to a gopher hole.

To put it simply, the subject is used as the title, and the body is put into the log entry (optionnaly passed through a command, like fmt(1) for example. The original email sender is verified, to prevent spams from cluttering your phlog. It might not be the most secure method, but that works for me tm.

You can see it in action here:

  • gopher://phlog.z3bra.org
  • gopher://g.nixers.net/7/~anon/twtxt.dcgi
    • z3bra@lemmy.sdf.orgOP

      Yeah unfortunately I never implemented that feature ^^ It would require to parse the email body and add much more logic into Scribo itself, making it very complex and subject to bugs. I like it the way it is now to be fair ^^

      What’s confusing about the mailto item ?

        My usual phetch doesn’t have an XDG web browser set or something I think? Unless I misunderstood that error, hang on. Specifically in phetch, I tried following link 1. (phlog@z3bra.org) and I get the error, “invalid port value”.

          Oh right, then it’s probably just the link format which is misinterpreted by your client. mailto links don’t include the usual “://”, which might prevent them from opening correctly on some clients.
