Hi folks,

I've been interested in the Tilde idea for quite some time now. I am
wondering if it is possible to peer with (ideally several of) you for
the tilde.* hierarchy over NNTP. I have two INN servers operating and
would love these groups and the extremely high signal-to-noise ratio!
(And don't worry, I wouldn't leak with public Usenet or anything)

Secondly... I don't have the time right now to manage a Unix system
where there are public shell accounts. However, I am quite interested
in the Tilde project and would like to participate in some other ways.
Things I have in mind:

- UUCP peering. I have some UUCP systems up and running and might
possibly have run UUCP over radios from time to time...

- NNCP peering
(What is NNCP, you ask? NNCP is to UUCP what ssh is to telnet, in a
nutshell; UUCP evolved, with modern features and security. See my
post in tilde.services.uucp)
I already run a public NNCP relay; see https://github.com/jgoerzen/nncp-tools/blob/main/docs/quux-relay.org

- Usenet (either public or tilde) peering over NNTP and NNCP
I already offer public Usenet feeds over NNCP; see
https://github.com/jgoerzen/nncp-tools/blob/main/docs/usenet.org

- Perhaps other things that need bandwidth/resources; I have a
dedicated server at OVH Montreal that has some surplus capacity.
Matrix, perhaps? Mastodon?

That would be fantastic. I'm really excited about NNTP and would love to
add you as a peer to cosmic via it. This week is getting pretty busy
with work, but I've got NNTP at the top of my notes for when I get a
free minute.

That's fine! Drop me a note at jgoerzen@complete.org whenever it's convenient for you. Thank you!

Just gave a look at those. Wow. I mean, kudos for factually
reimplementing UUCP in a modern and viable fashion, and for documenting
it so well. It sounds like you're really enjoying and that's what
matters most in the end.
quux.org has always been my go-to reference for gopher; it exists since
I first started experimenting with gopher and it's one of the few
serious servers which I know won't be taken down after the initial
enthusiasm, as it often happens.
Also, UMN Gopher was like the best (and the only?) *nix gopher client,
before Gopher actually started becoming a thing among tech oriented
people.
