In case you missed it, FSE now supports the finger protocol, RFC 1288. I tweaked it a little, added a big-ass comment block to the beginning. It is fun. You can now finger anyone on FSE as long as your distro provides the old-timey networking tools.

lain added gopher support ( gopher://freespeechextremist.com/ ) and BBS support (via ssh: `ssh -p 10022 username@freespeechextremist.com `, make sure you are using port 10022), and now I've added finger protocol support, making FSE the premier fediverse supporter of 1990s technology. Let's baffle people running portscanners!

The code is trivial, it's one file, it is a ridiculous hack done as a joke in a thread because @sjw complained that he couldn't finger me. Now anyone on the internet can finger anyone on FSE, and it's pretty easy to set up. See the comments at the top of the file: https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fedifinger . You'll have to install Ruby to use it, the short version is you install fedifinger on your instance like this:

$ git clone git://freespeechextremist.com/fedifinger
$ sudo cp fedifinger/fedifinger /usr/local/bin/fedifinger
$ awk 'x{sub(/^#[ \t]*/, "");print "Change \"your-instance-domain\" to your domain and put this line into your /etc/inetd.conf:";print;exit}/inetd\.conf/{x=1}' /usr/local/bin/fedifinger

You might have to restart inetd, but as long as you have installed it correctly, people can now `finger someone@yourinstance`. If you have finger installed (the repo has a ridiculous client in the extras/ subdirectory), then you can do something like the stuff in this screenshot and get something like the results:

Dear President Putin,

I implore you to stop this invasion of Ukraine. A lot of people have put up Ukrainian flags as a sign of support and this has greatly traumatized my girlfriend, who is going mad from seeing blue and yellow everywhere. Now, every time she sees a Ukrainian flag, she goes into a frenzy, starts pointing at the flag and making weird noises. It's gotten to the point that any blue and yellow objects visibly disturb her. Yesterday we saw two blue and yellow trash containers outside and she almost underwent a total mental breakdown. She also says that it's "worse than amogus". If you have any shreds of humanity left, please stop this madness at once.

Sincerely,
john paul grips

@xianc78 @Hyolobrika Nationalism is just as hostile towards both localism and individualism as globalism is. It isn't a middle ground, it's just trading one demon for another.

@xianc78 Just remember the US economy is going to get butt fucked from this too as well in a few months.

@sjw @lanodan Okay, fine, FSE now supports finger, here's a script and some screenshat.
