Hello Wilfred,

On Saturday December 21 2024 11:25, you wrote to me:

 MvdV>> Indeed. But... in the Z2daily it is in UTF-8.

I can't compare them. I haven't used the weekly nodelist for myself in years, I only use the dailies. And since I no longer am RC and NC I have stopped carrying the weekly on my system.

But if memory serves me right, in previous years only the dialyutf was in UTF-8 and the other two were ASCII only.

 WV> Greek and Hebrew for instance, must be utf8. The version in the
 WV> dailyutf is different though.

The text from the dailutf comes from me. The text in the other two comes from a different source.

 WV>>> "New" node in net 201:
 WV>>> Pvt,4609,Future_Hacker_Central,Dalarna,Joaquim_Homrighausen,-Unp
 WV>>> ublish ed-,300,XA,MO The XA and MO flags are not useful for a Pvt
 WV>>> node, and can be left out.

 MvdV>> JoHo can't set up a real node?

 WV> Who knows...

His NC? ..

 WV>>> In Z4 XA flags were changed to XW which is correct. And nodes
 WV>>> 4:900/107 and 4:902/7 became PVT.

 MvdV>> I suspect that in this case "Pvt" may be euphemistic for
 MvdV>> "Down".

 WV> Could be, but we don't know.

That is why I used the word "suspect".

 WV>>> Remaining binkp connectivity issues in Z4:

 WV>>> 4:88/0  mastodontbbs.hopto.org:24554  191.114.38.190  Error:
 WV>>> Connection timed out And AKA's. Probably a dynamic dns update
 WV>>> issue again...

 MvdV>> Probalby something else because now it connects at that same
 MvdV>> IP: 191.114.38.190.

 WV> I still get a timeout just now.


Now I also get a time-out. The system is unstable.

 WV>>> 4:801/203 tbrasilis.ddns.net:24554  64.181.182.128  Error:
 WV>>> Connection refused

 WV> This one works for me too now...

Same here.
