Sadly #9front is not ready for an intermitent #internet in order to be usable without being online 24/7 in tons of services. You are expected to read all your email and #usenet newsgroups via IMAP/NNTP without reusing a caché. I understand the point of #9front is to be always networked sharing distinct devices on separate machines (one of them can handle storage, the other one auth and so on) but that approach today works better under a LAN. Also, even by reusing nntpfs' cache (with clone(1) ) and set up bind mount points that won't grant you a merged cache a la slrnpull under Unix *but* something akin switching between snapshots as files might be overwritten upon new pulling/pushing.

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.

USENET IS NOT DEAD !!!!! USENET IS STILL FREE FREE FREE!

Usenet is an ever-living, Casper the friendly ghost of discussion networks.

Just a friendly reminder that Usenet still exists and access to text newsgroups is still FREE. Access is provided by volunteer sysops around the world. See links below.

Back in its glory days it seems that just about every academic institution had its own Usenet hierarchy of newsgroups.

Linux was revealed to the world via Usenet.

Open source philosophy gained its steam via Usenet.

Usenet is the original free speech network.

Usenet is the original 'social network'.
