I've never heard of Phrack before, but a plain text-based zine is a prime candidate for Gemini/Gopher if I ever saw one.

- Inhibit 5y agoIf you'd like some good dawn-of-time history about the BBS era Phrack came out of (and the people who started it) The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling is available free on Archive.org (book 101!). Fun read, probably even more so if you weren't there. https://archive.org/details/thehackercrackdo00101gut https://archive.org/details/thehackercrackdo00101gut
- utahsaint365 5y agoAgreed, Sterlings book is a fine read. Probably lost on anyone after gen x though.
