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.

Trump intends to liberate Iran by bombing it "back to the stone age"

For the past week or so, it’s felt like we’re stuck in an airport lounge while the Trump-ocalypse unfolds, or more accurately, in a spaceport, hoping to escape the madness of the world.
