#usenet — Public Fediverse posts

@ljs I think it's time for some #Usenet-style killfiles!

Fuck Internet, I want my old Usenet back! Or Fido... Doesn't matter. Anything but the Internet.

Worked with @netizenronda to republish the 1994 version of “Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet”

Very sad to hear that Peter G. Neumann, the long time moderator of the comp.risks mailing list has passed.

He not only moderated the list for decades, he provided much needed humour in his comments on events reported.

@itsfoss : Not an email, but an #Usenet post, when Usenet was the #PlaceToBe !

@itsfoss That's not an email, it's a #usenet post! 🙄

I'm starting to get quite annoyed about the amount of time I'm spending trying to repel AI bots from my Newsgrouper website. 😡

@ashwin @minmi @dumpsterqueer

The #Fediverse is a social media system. And when has social media _not_ been political?

I mean, I am old enough to remember #Usenet . There was no shortage of political discussion there. And no shortage of bigotry.

The very _least_ we could do is fight the well-documented bigotry here on the Fediverse in order to make it more welcoming for marginalized groups. I mean, what's the alternative?

Insisting that the Fediverse should be "nonpolitical", which only means "I am comfortable with the politics around here, and am happy to throw marginalized people who do not fit in under the bus"?

@gcvsa There are crazy and intolerant people on Usenet too (which does still operate). However for unmoderated groups no-one has the power to kick you off, and you can block the obnoxious people yourself.

InfiniDysk: More software for streaming video live from Usenet. Evolution of NzbDav, seems to be a friendly fork?

Hey #usenet people. My main Unlimited provider nearly doubled their price this year! I have a block provider as a backup but need something unlimited to be the first server in my setup. Was paying about $35 a year. Anyone have any suggestions they want to DM me?

excited about the Eclipse, in Madrid is 70% that is good enough, some parts of Spain have 100% ! that is a life time event more than a live time, I do not have glasses but I am excited to just be here on the st and walk around when the climax happens, for those of you in Madrid DO NOT LOOK WITH OUT SPECIAL GLASSES #hackers make sure you code something great after! 😆 #eclipse #hackers will be adding more updates on the #usenet astrological newsgroups. https://news.hispagatos.org

USENET - NNTP

NNTP es una parte importante de la internet descentralizada, un protocolo nativo (poco a poco voy a ir actulizando esto), la idea es:

Tener un servidor usenet de Hispagatos (ya lo tenemos)
Hacerlo facil para los que amamos las redes/internet/libertad/descentralizacion y trasparencia puedar usar las mismas tecnologias olvidadas por el capital ( ya creando un portal de hispagatos )

Episode 100 continues with the big 4 first games like Rogue! If only there was some tortured genre name for these types of games…

Lots of fun correspondence from both Mastodon and emails, including a (slightly edited for time) great voicemail message!

Come for the LotR chiptunes, stay for the maximum entropy!

#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.

https://crates.io/crates/usenet_reborn
https://sr.ht/~rek2/Usenet_Reborn

#usenet #rustlang #tui #foss #rust #hackerculture #nntp

note: remember also #reticulum as another mesh decentralized network we run now a RRC reticulum relay chat hub

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_reborn

Next 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**.

Ich kenne es noch aus den Zeiten des Protokolls nntp://, aus den Zeiten des UseNet.

YMMV – Your Mileage May Vary (Deine Erfahrungen können/mögen andere sein).

Ich weiß nicht wann, aber genau dieses Wissen ging irgendwann kurz vor 2000 verloren …

Hispagatos 2025: El renacimiento de Usenet y más allá

Compañeros, este 2025 ha sido un año intenso para Hispagatos. Ya casi terminando el año, queremos compartir todo lo que hemos logrado con nuestra comunidad de hackers anarquistas. Desde el renacimiento de Usenet 2.0...

https://hispagatos.org/post/hispagatos-2025-updates/

Back to Usenet. Learn from them. Retrospective.

Plain text, threaded conversations.
Ideas shared freely, no flashy UI — just thoughtful messages.
Author references propagated over network.
Small, readable, decentralized — lessons in simplicity and clarity.
Echoes today in IndieWeb: own your content, control your identity.

Hello #hackers & #usenet friends, I fixed the rss to usenet bot code https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/rek2_usenet_rss/commit/8625e1209f8aadec7f51b6e7a1bf20082b26b174 so now handles RSS and ATOM and an issue I had with RSS generated from mastodon tags like #hacking #hispagatos #hackers etc, now our newsgroups get the proper information from mastodon alerts and also added exploitdb to our exploits newsgroup hispagatos.hacking.exploits the usenet client is #usenet_reborn TUI #rust client you can find it on my sr.ht or crates.io Happy Hacking!!! #hackerculture

We at #hispagatos revamped our #blog and #gemlog [http|gemini] and posted the #announcement to #usenet check it out! Also created a new entry on it related to most of the #projects we have been working on in #2025 there are more news but this ones are the most relevant!

He subtitulado la ponencia de @rek2 En ella habla la evolución del hacking, da un contexto historico de la etica hacker, las connotaciones negativas que tanto la han permeado y la importancia del software libre.

Article in #Usenet I rather if the conversation is there so is async and sticks, here in Mastodon things just get scrolling up and up and gets lost https://news.novabbs.org/computers/article-flat.php?id=481&group=alt.2600#481 also on the #hispagatos #Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/#hispagatos:matrix.org after joining the space enter room #GamesJuegos is only accesible to members of the Matrix Space like discord etc
We also play #netrunner the card game and #AlbionOnline etc and use #mumble for voice

Geheimwaffe Freundlichkeit: Welche "Netiquetten" gelten heute noch?
https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000262445/geheimwaffe-freundlichkeit-welche-netiquetten-gelten-heute-noch?ref=rss

Ich fand den Umgangston im #Internet zu Zeiten von #Netiquette + Leuten, die sie kannten und respektierten deutlich besser.

Und das hatte aus meiner Sicht kaum bis gar nichts mit dem Thema Sietzen zu tun, wie die Kommentare im Artikel suggerieren.

2/ This is why I have never been a fan of Linux, people should be writing their own OSs 😜

As an aside, I found this #USENET thread with some familiar names from 1987 about porting Minix to the Atari - I assume that would have been the ST then.

1/ Just because, here's my LSI-11 desktop - It works, they used much better capacitors in those days.

Way back when, the LSI-11 was often used to teach people Operating Systems and Compiler Design, and in my CS degree in 1986 we'd fiddle with MINIX on these things, and deal with re-writing different low-level UNIX things. Life was much easier with only 50 instructions to work with.

Well said!
Haven't read the Atlantic yet, but you are right. My third day poking around on Mastodon (via newsie.social server started for journalism pros, profs, etc.), having flashbacks to my 1980s exploring #Usenet, #fidonet #BBSs, #CompuServe, #thewell, #BIX, #Delphi and more.

Very curious about whether the Federated model will get average-person friendly enough in apps, installation and navigation for my non-geek FB neighbor groups, powerful as a local newspaper.

@kino TBH I doubt it. These #troglodytes are too lazy to be a good #troll. I've not seen anyone come within a parsec of the #usenet trolls back before the #greatRenaming
