[gopher] Should we be mirroring Gopher sites via FTP?

[Mr. Leveck]

Out of curiosity what clients properly handle gophers:// ?

I will have some spare time coming up next week... looks like I will be getting a cert. Maybe gopher.leveck.us (yeah, all my subdomains point to the same DSL router) will be the second TLS gopher site.

Every single free cert I have seen in the last 20 years eventually shut down due to misuse by idiots. I guess I'll grab one while it is still around...
