Newsgroups on Usenet

In the 90's, I was using the newsgroups on

usenet

either from my university or from home. It was easy to access usenet from home, the ISPs had their own newsgroups servers for their customers.

Later the ISPs stopped providing newsgroups server, so I stopped using usenet. I didn't know where to find a good newsgroups server until now.

On

big-8.org

there is a

tutorial

explaining how to access usenet:

eternal-september.org

I checked out some newsgroups and I found some that still active like `comp.lang.c`.

There is a list of News service providers at:

NSP list

These NSPs are free and text-only:

eternal-september.org

aioe

solani

dotsrc

BlueWorld Usenet Farm

Newsreader software

I tried a few newsreader programs:

How to setup and use slrn?

apt-get install slrn
# copy default config file
zcat /usr/share/doc/slrn/examples/slrn.rc.gz > ~/.slrnrc
vi ~/.slrnrc
# set email john@example.com
# set name John Doe
set username "john"
set hostname "example.com"
set realname "John Doe"
# setup news server, use snews for nntps:
# one group list per server
server "snews://news.eternal-september.org" ".jnewsrc-eternal"
server "snews://news.gmane.io" ".jnewsrc-gmane"

# setup authentication user and password for news servers with accounts
nnrpaccess "snews://news.eternal-september.org" "user" "password"

# First start: generate .jnewsrc* files
slrn -f ~/.jnewsrc-eternal --create -h snews://news.eternal-september.org
slrn -f ~/.jnewsrc-gmane --create -h news.gmane.io

# Then start slrn with:
slrn -h snews://news.eternal-september.org
slrn -h news.gmane.io

UI Keybindings:

In group list:
- L     filter groups

Reading mailing lists with newsreaders

There are many mailing lists available on news.gmane.io NNTP server.

The benefits of using an NNTP server for accessing mailing lists are:

The Big-8 newsgroups

The list of newsgroup (

checkgroups

) is posted in `news.annouce.newgroups` once a month it seems, here list posted on 2021-09-15:

List of Big Eight Newsgroups

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

What follows is a complete list of newsgroups in the "Big Eight"
hierarchies (comp.*, humanities.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*,
soc.*, and talk.*) with descriptions.  Moderated newsgroups are marked
with the string "(Moderated)" at the end of the description.

Most versions of news support a "checkgroups" control message that can
be used to help keep your active file in sync with the "standard"
Usenet groups.  This newsgroup list is in the format expected by such
software.  If you wish to process it as a checkgroups control message,
extract the newsgroup list between the marked lines below and pass it
to your checkgroups script on standard input.

A normal checkgroups control message is also posted monthly, suitable
for automated processing by news software.  This posting is intended
to supplement the control message, providing the same list in a
regular news message.  This may be useful for reference, or for review
by readers without access to control messages.
