    Check out the original social network with finger kirch@tilde.town and if your server is running the fingerd daemon, try creating .forward, .plan, .project, and .pubkey or .pgpkey files in your home directory (check man finger) and see what happens when you finger yourself.

      Michael Lazar has written a nice little finger daemon implementation for a single user installation ⌘ https://github.com/michael-lazar/finger2020

      It’s written in Python 3 and is very easy to set up.
