I’m currently contemplating the maintenance of spacecookie and, by extension, the corresponding NixOS module. Specifically, I’m inclined to remove the Gopher server daemon in a future version and merely continuing to maintain the library it is based on. This would of course make services.spacecookie pointless and warrant its removal.
I’m thinking about this for multiple reasons, but one of them is that I suspect that the service/daemon doesn’t have any users (anymore). I haven’t had any interactions with active users in a while and I’ve tried looking for relevant NixOS config snippets in people’s public dotfiles via GitHub code search. However, since there is no kind of telemetry available, I can’t really know for sure. One point of concern is that this is the only Gopher server packaged in Nixpkgs which also has a corresponding NixOS module.
Hence, I’m asking here as well, not sure if someone else has possible datapoints.
