The problem with finger the old protocol is  that is not build with TLS around it 
so I started a rust daemon/client that extends finger so nobody on a coffee shop 
can mitm what I share etc, but then I got busy. Do anyone knows if someone else 
have done something similar? The issue of this is that it needs to be 
backward compatible to allow old client to connect with out TLS and maybe
recomend to upgrade to a new client that supports TLS  kind of what gemini did. 


Happy Hacking
