  • Peering NNTP (& joining tildeverse)?

    From jgoerzen@jgoerzen@tilde.team to tilde.projects on Tue Sep 7 00:48:15 2021
    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.
