A 486 can get a gopher client. Maybe NetsCape 4.04 has it:

More stuff:

It's useful to reach stuff like gopher://hngopher.com (and read the comments from this site, among the URS's). Also, he can open gopher://magical.fish thru retrozilla, among http://portal.mozz.us with older Mozilla releases (or anything working on a 486), if can do far more things than a 75MHZ machine could do back in the day.
He is using an SSH/Telnet client, but with http://portal.mozz.us opened on old browsers for the 346 he could browse his own blog on it, albeit with a reduced layout:
Write gemini://gemi.dev at the input box from http://portal.mozz.us to head to that Gemini site.
Head to News Waflle.
Enter: https://willem.com/blog/2016-06-23_building-the-blog-in-styl...
The full URL, with with https:// before the domain. That's mandatory. Enjoy.
Never expected it to be a "40K views/month hobby"! Cheers to the 486!
