Seems really quiet on netnews lately.. Hope it isn't broken?
Well, I cross-checked this thread (the tilde.meta's one) from Tilde.club against both Cosmic.voyage and Tilde.team; the propagation is still okay.
Cross-checking it reminds me why I liked Netnews (and NNTP) so much;
I simply Netcat'd in on port 119 of each host, type "article ",
paste the `Message-ID` value, press Enter, and voila!
the post is now present before me, readable and verifiable to naked eye.
Hows everyone doing?!
Well I faded into background a bit as some IRL stuff required my attention;
but I popped back in few days ago to send an email over to ~ben
at Tilde.team about a preparation to open `tilde.bsd` newsgroup
on Tilde.team's Netnews server in a planned manner, to not repeat
what we went through at Tilde.club.
I still hadn't gotten a reply, and it's not there yet...
$ nc tilde.team 119
200 tilde.team InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.6.3 ready (no posting)
GROUP tilde.bsd
411 No such group tilde.bsd
QUIT
205 Bye!
$
I check this daily, so until the server's answer become positive,
this would take a backburner for now; but I have drafted a complete
instruction ready to be sent to ~tomasino as soon as I have verified
that it become on.
(Note that even when it actually become on, newsreaders wouldn't
see it in the newsgroups list on that server yet; the phase of it being
a "secret non-postable newsgroup" is a part of new rejection-free
newsgroup addition procedure I'm working on)
