My website is very old (1994) and varied in popularity between a little and full-on obscurity. There were times in there when I wanted more clicks etc but now I'm like wut; it's where I put things I want to persist, often written for some target purpose, link posted somewhere, then it remains for reference or whatever. This is all fine.

But the last few years, even for stuff on it that is rarely found elsewhere, and that google would dredge up (FIELDATA character code meanings, Librascope, whatever) has essentially disappeared; search engines mostly stopped indexing stuff that isn't commerce.

(I had a two year period when I did all the SEO shit, figured out it was all bullshit, and stripped it all out; Google owes me ~ $80 for ad income (lol) for those two years but they don't write checks under $100. "Policy".)

So moving to gopher space will cost me (sic) nothing.

In fact it will save me (sic): no security.

There is no way a mere mortal such as I can win at the encryption war. That is a corporate game. I will never win but I will never play a game that's rigged.

All of my websites are pure 100% HTML and CSS. I was fine with http: until the EFF thing. I hate SSL as it makes hosting data dependent on corporate entities, de facto.

So I won't lose any clicks (sic) if I move to gopher. You can get to it with lynx or links. And maybe I'll ditch cloudflare ( Iwas gonna revert to lets encrypt, but etc) and https entirely and just tell people, my site is a mere document, it can't track you. Well it could but it doesn't; look at the page source.
