NNTP stays winning

Yes. It’s Usenet all over again, only this time escaping NNTP containment

Usenet, taken over by Google who has stopped peering NNTP feeds. I learned so much from Usenet and still have the MIDI music I downloaded as multipart files. I'm a dinosaur 🦖

O gopher e fazer download de newsgroups por nntp para ler mais tarde

I ran NNTP servers back when Usenet was the biggest drain on bandwidth networks had to deal with.

Wait… free unlimited storage in Base58 encoded strings? This sounds like a _terrrrrrible_ idea. UUEncoded NNTP all over again.

mutters quietly 'nntp'

Honestly I think that’s how NNTP happened in the first place too

Sorry, my firewall blocks NNTP

NGL, when this site first started, I was reading the ATproto docs & saying to myself, WTF is this solving that the NNTP doc's hadn't already solved, & realised that it was all about plugging Blockchain bullshit into ordinary protocols.

Is it weird or heartwarming to find IBM still cares about NNTP? www.ibm.com/docs/en/tivo...

I'll just run my own NNTP server, thanks.

Yeah. I feel the same about Usenet. I mean I could certainly put up an NNTP server but it would be pointless

That wasn’t the early Internet. The early Internet was raising money for a gopher server, arguing whether nntp replication should block messages not encoded with the right Latin character set, and arguing that SMTP servers that could accept ^H on the HELO were apostasy.

Un bon serveur nntp!

I like D but only because their forums used nntp as a backend

NNTP could live again! I was recently reminded that Stevens’ volume 3 (published in 1994) was titled. “TCP/IP Illustrated: v. 3: TCP for Transactions, HTTP, NNTP and the Unix Domain Protocols.”

The prior era gave us http, FTP, nntp, IMAP, SMTP, xmpp, irc, rtsp and a wealth of client and server implementations that learned and built off each other.

The current era gave us proprietary web APIs, subscription models, features based on quarterly profits and enshittification.

Mastodon came "pre-siloed". And was a PITA to configure.

Might as well just stand up a local NNTP server and post USENET at myself all day...🤷‍♂️

E eu, que ainda sonho com a BRASNET e o NNTP da UOL?
