#hackers IS OUT usenet_reborn is at 1.0.0 !!! 🎉
It now has all the features needed to run as a lite TUI Usenet client. Today I added X-post — forward an article you're reading straight to other newsgroups — which is what it needed to be fully usable for everyday use.

Updated **usenet_reborn**: fixed minor bugs and bumped all crates/libs to the latest stable versions.
More info:
https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/usenet_reborn/refs/0.2.4
https://crates.io/crates/usenet_rebornNext few days I'll add a missing feature: forward/cross-post an article from one newsgroup to another. For example, from **alt.2600** to **alt.2600.madrid** or **hispatatos.talk**.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@yodabytz/116974946520627095
Can’t we just fix #Usenet instead?

@jarango I'm on the Internet since 1994. (Same month the Netscape Navigator web browser hit the day of light, making the WWW a much better place to browse through.) So yes, I'm ancient.
I've been an avid information worker ever since.
And I never ever subscribed to any #mailinglist or #newsletter.
It would turn my #email process a miserable place to be.
Any organization doing some auto-signup is begging me to extend my killfile, making it impossible to reach me in future.
(#gmane was my dear friend though as I've very much loved the #usenet. And I still think people should re-adapt it as it solved many problems people are having these days.)

Dear Christian,
You’ve really warmed my heart! It took me right back to the 1970s, when I used 300-#baud #modems and #Usenet. A few days ago, I wrote a post on the subject.
I tried your #server, but I only got error messages (perhaps I need to register?). You can see them in the #screenshots I’ve attached.
I use #Firefox and #Thunderbird (for Linux😀)
I’ll wait… and thank you. -
Thinking back to the days of 20 years ago when my finger macros just automatically typed `trn` and there was always something new in at least one of the newsgroups I subscribe to.
I subscribe to pretty much the same set of newsgroups now, but they're almost all empty.

Amongst the many challenges with the deterioration of traditional web search is the problem of loss of access to usable references. Where we were once able to collect a useful sampling of data and with that, do analysis and synthesis, today we're presented with garbage.
In the past, the challenge was to marshal diverse ideas into a coherent whole. Today, the challenge is to even find one workable source that even vaguely relates to your search.

This listing of alt.fan.* newsgroups from 199? is a provocative reflection of netizens' pop culture at the start of the dotcom boom. (Keep in mind, these were spaces for fandom AND anti-fandom!)
A representative selection from the letter "D":
alt.fan.dan-quayle
alt.fan.devo
alt.fan.dice-man
alt.fan.disney
alt.fan.don-imus

Doing my part to inject weird content as if this were USENET of days of yore, which https://dobbs.town can kind of be.

I think it's time to dust off some #oldschool #usenet / #bbs things online to befuddle #chatcontrol carpet #surveillance.
Adding #lineeater fodder and #origin lines in a #sigfile, but updated to be #AI adversarial snippets and filter saturation #keywords.
And hope no automated decision making based on such #sabotage comes back and bites. WCPGW.

I did some research on #Altos Germany and #AltosChat a few years ago and found many interesting legal documents, catalogues, ads, #usenet posts, and mentions in #Phrack. I also found two locations where the althh server might once have been housed. In one, a seemingly related company still exists. I believe I've also tracked down the #sysop, who now appears to be working in aviation. One day I'll make some phone calls, finish research, and write a proper article on the history of Altos Chat!
