Und was habe ich heute gemacht?
Unter anderem #Leafnode und #slrn installiert.
Ach ja, nebenbei noch rausgefunden, warum die Kugel des Trackballs nicht mehr kugelte. Das Teil hat seit Jahren Staub angesetzt, halt weil die Kugel nicht mehr kugelte.
Eins sollte da ab und an auch mal den Schmodder rausholen.
I wanted to see something new in a daily used apps, I got tired to look at the same layout over and over.
So I changed Mail app layout to match #Usenet, or #FidoNet client, with list on top, content on the bottom. I also tweaked shortcuts for easier navigation and archive messages.
Sure, #elinks isn't built for the modern web, but it serves a purpose. I use #aerc for email, #senpai for irc, #iamb for matrix chat, #slrn for newsgroups and message boards, #ncspot for Spotify, #mpg123 for local media or online radio, and #rbw for my bitwarden client. I really don't need much else. It's not a machine I rely on for serious tasks, but it's covered most of my daily needs. Best of all, without a GUI, it's blazing fast!
I've been enjoying some time on #gopher and #gemini as well.
Ende der 90er war ich viel im #Usenet unterwegs - jetzt entdecke ich es gerade wieder.
In gewisser Weise ist das dezentral organisierte Usenet ein früher Vorläufer des Fediverse. Damals gab es an vielen Unis NNTP-Server, Internet-Provider haben eigene Server betrieben... Sie alle sind untereinander vernetzt.
Es gibt verschiedene Clients (Newsreader), um Zugang zu bekommen, sobald man sich für einen Server entschieden hat.
Ich habe erst #slrn (einen Client für das Terminal) verwendet, teste jetzt aber #ClawsMail, ein grafisches Mail- und News-Programm, das etwas altmodisch aussieht - nach den frühen 2000er Jahren, aber sehr viele Funktionen bietet.
Das Usenet besteht aus einer sehr großen Zahl von Gruppen mit so schönen Namen wie de.rec.buecher oder de.rec.sport.tauchen, die man abonnieren kann. Leider ist in vielen Gruppen nicht mehr viel los. Aber sie bleiben halt lange bestehen.
Leider gibt's im Usenet auch viele Rechtsextreme und Faschistys, die man halt ausfiltern muss.
@pedro #Usenet is using a rather old (but very cool) protocol: #NNTP
It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I *very* much enjoyed it.
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to #federation and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like #slrn (mine), #Thunderbird and other GUI-tools.

I hope it'll get popular again so that people who care could forget all web-based #forums including #lemmy:

@mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet!
This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more.
Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines... 🤔
Übrigens, das #Usenet gibt's immer noch. Und beispielsweise #Thunderbird enthält einen Client dafür (ich nutze allerdings #slrn).
@rss feeds on #usenet <3 with #slrn on the #hispagatos usenet server, part of the new usenet with no binaries, only plain text, no spam, no google only hobbiest, hackers, tinkers and awesome people.
@douglawlor I’ve been using #slrn, but haven’t looked into tin or nn.
#Thunderbird still supports #Usenet too.
#usenet #slrn #linux #decentralized #hackers #text #Anti-Centralization #noBloatedHttp #hispagatos if anyone needs and account in our server focus on #privacy and #antiGoogle we block googlenews let @NerdRat @arcane or @x3r0x know. Happy Hacking
@craigbro @terhechte I'd prefer a general foo-to-NNTP gateway for #reddit #Mastodon and such services.
This way, not only users of #GNUS would profit!
Checking out #Slrn with news.gmane.io. Interesting mailing list interface.
@jackbaty @dekkzz76 @nathell @worldsendless In my personal life, I'm using #mutt with #vim (and #slrn, #zsh, screen->#tmux) since decades on a server. Only my business #MUA (#evolution) is installed on my business host. See also https://karl-voit.at/apps-I-am-using/ #PIM #email
@eludom Agreed; algorithms as the big corporate sites have implemented them are pretty bad. But really, 20 years ago #slrn and other #Usenet readers had scorefiles that let you adjust the score of a post by various pattern matching. It was reasonably effective. Current Mastodon filtering is primitive in comparison. Something that's user-controlled would be nice.
https://www.aioe.org/ Is another #usenet #nntp free/public server that resides in Europe, is as good as http://www.eternal-september.org/ a good cli GNU/Linux client #slrn recomended groups: comp.infosystems.gemini comp.lang.c alt.2600 alt.2600.hope comp.os.linux.security I'm working to add comp.lang.go and comp.lang.rust (this a bit after)
