Anyone running a text-only #usenet server willing to peer with me? I got a small newssite I had running exclusively via uucp connections, but that's become a bit too fragile, so now I'm looking for #nntp peers.

#fediverse question: Has anyone written a Bridge between #lemmy, #piefed, #mbin, #kbin, or other fediverse software and #nntp? I have #usenet access, and would be happy to bridge some of the various blindness groups on Usenet onto the fediverse.

@harold @bonni208 I'm old enough to have seen multiple great online communities I substantially contributed to come and go: #Usenet, #reddit1], [#Twitter.
At least the #Fediverse has some fine properties that may result in a longer time I'm using it: [2]

An era is coming to an end (at least for me). I had my first contact with the internet in 1992, namely with #usenet. I have remained (more or less) loyal to it to this day. Now the most respected #nntp server has announced that will shut down:

Hey Tech people. Introduce your non-tech friends to #Newsgroups #NNTP. I know, I know. Yaaar! 🏴☠️But fuck these media companies bending the knee to fascists. For $15/mo you can get a newsgroup account that provides all the media you could ever want. Pay for this things you support, fuck the fascists.

I am seeking #BBS software for #Linux that has built-in #NNTP server and can feed with other #Usenet servers. I would like some suggestions and reasoning. A BBS with actually secure passwords and authentication would be best, since a lot of them are not secure by modern standards […]

Playing card of the Jack of Clubs. The Jack is a moustached man in a black top hat and suit in a oval center cameo. The colors are inverted so that everything on the face is black except the lines which are white, like a charcoal cutout picture., giving it a retro digital appearance mixed with retro handicraft vibes.

Since the passing of Retro Guy some volunteers have started a project to continue the Rocksolid Light legacy with a new NNTP server coded in golang. The new platform is named, 'Pug Leaf' after Retro Guy's avatar of a little pug holding a leaf in its maw.

finally managed to get #nntp connections running on my little #usenet server. The snag turned out to be a setting I had turned off specifically because I wanted to have a a #uucp-only machine.
Oh well, now some groups (#ttrpg ones that is) update instantly because the single nntp connection I […]

In the end I took the plunge and decided that maybe having #nntp connections is not all that bad for our #uucp network.
Mostly because despite the beautiful simplicity of the protocol, actually getting uucp to work on modern machines is a whole different matter. It really is made for a dial-up […]

The main issue is of course that even though we like the idea of having an nntp forum, actually checking it becomes sporadic because there's nothing there most of the time

Today I cobbled together a weird construction where I managed to sent updates on our local newsnet (nntp) forum to rss and the have the feed announced as new posts on our IRC server.
And I feel like all this must have been solved before and easier but it's not like you can find this stuff doing […]

olduse.net expands: Now offering 45-year delayed Usenet archive access via new NNTP ports

Keeping olduse.net around olduse.net was an interactive art installation conceived and implemented by Joey Hess that ran from 2011 to 2021. olduse.net was posting the first 10 years of archived usenet articles to a news server, replaying usenet as it happened 30 years earlier. It also had a web interface with an interactive news reader, allowing you to access the news server via the web instead of using nntp. When the project was announced I wanted a way to link to those old articles on the web, so I borrowed some of Joey Hess' code and implemented article.olduse.net, by shoveling the archive into a database. My service hasn't seen that much use, but it did get its own version of "FSF-dotting", when the 30th anniversary of the GNU project announcement was celebrated, and many sites linked to the original article on article.olduse.net. When the art project was over I still wanted article.olduse.net to continue working, and Joey Hess was nice enough to transfer the domain to me. So here we are. Enjoy. Adam Sjøgren 2022-07-22

Dear #emacs #lazyweb, has anyone implemented a #transient interface for #gnus? I don't use it often but when I want to browse #nntp archives I find I've forgotten the bindings again.
