Gopher is an early and extremely simple hypertext protocol pre-dating HTTP. lain.church provides Gopher 'holes' for users as part of GitLain. A repo named 'gopherhole' in a user's account will be served as a directoru on the lain.church gopher server. For example, tA/gopherhole is served as gopher://lain.church:70/ta. This service is available to all users.
In the future, these gopherholes will also be served over HTTP(S) as gopher.lain.church.
