latest yosnet news: yospos.binaries is created, users fail to properly send multipart binaries. i'm about to try it for myself if i can figure it out edit: it worked, had to install pan because thunderbird doesn't support multipart binaries Pham Nuwen fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Dec 12, 2018 |

meanwhile i got obsessed with getting thunderbird to work with binaries i've never used nntp in any form before (maybe once in the 90s with like outlook express or something, irc was my game then (and now) anyway), so it's like a whole new world but screw using custom readers for  there must be a way to simply upload a .7z of some sorts without doing it 100 % manually in thunderbird. so right noe im trying to concoct a way to do it in bash, using mpack and slrnguess i'll have to make a post if i get it to work for the thunderbirders out there

I had an interview for an internal promotion and one of the questions I got asked was to talk about a layer 4 protocol besides TCP and UDP and I had just read this thread so I said "NNTP for usenet". This is actually completely wrong but it was obscure enough that none of the interviewers knew better and anyway I passed.

Silver Alicorn posted:what does YOSNET do for me, a millennial whom has never used a Usenet? well we shitpost mostly, rotor and stymie seem to be playing tic-tac-toe, and you might like checking out this old-rear end discussion system purely for historical interest. USENET itself was really neat in how it propagated messages, you'd post to your local server and it would periodically exchange messages with its peers, who would exchange with their peers, until eventually your message made it everywhere. we don't do that of course because we only have one server i will play correspondence chess via usenet if you like but i'm v. bad at chess we're experimenting with binary uploads but i don't want that to become the loving raison d'être of the server (also the disk is too small for serious quantities of binaries) it also allows me to steal your social security number and home address with ease so please sign up
