#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

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.

#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**.

@LaQuadrature : En tant que dinosaure du réseau, je me demande si ce bon vieil #Usenet (que l'on aurait jamais du quitter) sera aussi concerné par cette mesure de "login gouvernemental" ? Après tout, le protocole du #fediverse c'est un peu le même principe que #nntp, et si on veut pousser le bouchon un peu plus loinprofond, qu'en est-il du gazillion de #mailingList où l'inscription est quasiment libre ?

BREAKING: Bueno, tenemos el agrado de anunciar oficialmente la inauguración de la comunidad Tilde Undernet, para poner en alto los servicios de texto plano, para los amantes del minimalismo y la línea de comandos. Estamos en etapa de pruebas, los registros son solo por recomendación de un usuario existente y son aprobados manualmente y la vía de contacto figura en la capsula gemini de la comunidad. Disponemos de capsulas gemini para usuarios, servidor de noticias NNTP/Usenet, IRC, Telnet BBS, clientes XMPP, lectores de noticias RSS y mucho más. Tenemos una landing page en gemini://undernet.uy #gemini #textoplano #tilde #comunidad #commandline #cli #consola #terminal #ssh #telnet #pubnix #undernet #uruguay #nntp #usenet #capsule

I begynnelsen fanns Arpanet men det växte och 1981 bestod nätverket av 213 anslutna datorer. Snart skulle nätet av datorer bli internationellt och kallas internet. Det centrala protokollet var Network Control Protocol (NCP) som lanserades 1970. NCP bestod av Arpanet Host-to-Host Protocol (AHHP) och Initial Connection Protocol (ICP). Dessutom fanns File Transfer Protocol (FTP) för filhantering och Telnet för fjärrinloggning för att användas via NCP. FTP lanserades 1973 och Telnet redan 1969.

Back to the future - Interacting with threadiverse communities through Usenet / NNTP

A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - “what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??” and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn’t go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.

I look forward to seeing someone’s screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.

This will be released as a part of PieFed 1.7, coming soon.

reminder to all the #usenet #hackers #linux tinkerers & terminal #kunfu #ninjas that are in our Usenet #inn2 server that we have local #hackerculture and #security #thread news live that you can check with no up scrolling or getting lost in the void like happens in #mastodon, usenet is #async so you do not have to be all day checking friend toots you can log in once a day, read and reply to articles if you are not yet in our #hispagatos usenet server please ask @NerdRat for help.

@StrawberryWarr Yes! Replace all group #chats with #NNTP.

Proven technology that comes with lots of advantages: freedom of interface choice, many clients available, offline features, community-driven moderation processes, decentralization, speed, includes people with special needs, ...

blog post: death's inheritance and the future of tomo

today, tomo appears to be the only fork of the RSLight nntp server that is still alive. so what now?

i'll be honest: once Thom/Retro Guy died, i was very tempted to trash the project and move on. I have a half dozen other neglected development projects and books and a podcast to devote my research time to.

and then I thought about Thom and the thousands of hours of his life that he put into his final project before he passed away. his dedication was infectious. and in 2026, we need decentralized forum software more than ever.

that being said, I sure as hell don't want to be responsible for taking over someone else's open source project. that's almost as bad as adopting their kid. hard pass.

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.

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!
