       Just a reminder that Usenet, the original de-centralised, federated internet discussion forum without companies or governments deciding who gets to post what, is still alive 45+ years after its inception. And no age verification either.It's very light-weight too and a breeze to peruse, unencumbered by malicious surveillance tech and ad optimisation, especially with a text-based UI like tin.#Usenet #decentralised #RetroComputing #PermaComputing

       @tomjennings There's currently some work on inn, one of the (if not the) last nntp servers around on modernising its architecture a bit. Nothing radical like porting it to nodejs or some idiocy like that, but implementing some more modern asynchronous techniques.
