Welcome to the 4Chan /g/ Usenet General Thread!>What is /usenet/?Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on(http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). TNot owned by corpos, not undergovt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection.They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyedby all.Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http,usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards . Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol:NNTP, aka usenet.>WTF IS USENETLiterally it means the Users Network. It’s an openprotocol for posting and reading messages, organized by newsgroups. It's entirely decentralized, no single server, mpossible to take down.Today it is split between, binaries and text. Thebinaries part is what it’s known for today: piracy. The text part is forgotten and abandoned, until now.>WHY POST ON USENETIts open protocol, you can use any client you want orbuild you own. No costs, no subscriptions, no money. You can sign up through your ISP, or through eternal-september.org. Then you just need to install a client.>THIS IS OLDER THAN MY DAD. WHY TF WOULD I DO THIS?Because its is comfy.Because it’s decentralized. Because instead of feeding some corpo aibullshit like discord or whatever, you can have a conversation with likeminded anons in an uncensored, decentralized, and fun hackerman way.>DO I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING? No, you can use the aforementioned eternal-september.org with any client of your choice, or use the service of newsgrouper.org to access freely online (register to post)>OK I’M IN - WHERE DO I POST! Join us at alt.cyberpunk.techWHAT CLIENT SHOULD I USE?>Pan (gnome newsreader - Multiplat)>Seamonkey>Gnus for GNU Emacs>Mozilla Thunderbird>want to take a peek?Online Based service @ newsgrouper.org is free and allows to post when registered. Also it can be used in any browser, even on android!
good job on the subject field RETARD

Is there any active anime and manga related newsgroup? Are they all ghost towns? MasterKarsten guy pls answer my queries.
>I can't believe he's still trying to shill Freenet>Oh hey, just give us your credit card info so we can tie your ghost key to your identity and give it to the fedsFuck you.

Bump. Just saw the other post on this. I'm actually a little excited.
>>106937825this isn't freenet retard
>>106937664I'm honestly not sure how many are populated, there's binaries groups alive to share new releases I think. You can check yourself the various groups and need be, start something like we did but manga related.
>>106942116Why do you want to turn 4chan into a discord? Jesus christ, go fuck yourself with your generals and namefaggots.
>>106942413>le discord boogeyman
>>106942413I'm totally clueless about what you are up to. Discord? This is exactly the opposite, it's a way to encourage non volatile high quality discussion.But I'm glad you are filtered out, or actually that you filtered out yourself.
I know a great usenet group:4chan.org/g/Faggot

Ignore the haters, though you are being a namefag and should knock that off. I've been enjoying the budding alt.cyberpunk.tech community. I've been reading most every post, replying to the ones where I feel I can meaningfully contribute, and I've thoroughly enjoyed learning from you anons. It is a nice filter, as it takes more than 2 brain cells to install and configure a client and engage in more longer form discussion. Its great.
it's great seeing all these overstimulated retards unable to take 10 minutes out of their days to read about how to set up a free usenet account and a client, getting all upset at nothing.i've been lurking on the group on the OP ever since it was started getting posted here and i've yet to see a single moronic post on it. the kind of post that is constantly flooding all of the popular boards here--typed on a smartphone, without thought, or really any purpose whatsoever other than picking a pointless fight and triggering people.it really shows that all you ever had to do to get quality discussion on the internet back was to make it so it takes just a *little* effort to join a particular group and it just naturally filters all the le funny trolls out and you're left with actually valuable discussion.the threads also don't disappear overnight, meaning that you can take a break for a few days/weeks/months and catch up whenever you want to, it's a great change of pace compared to the fleetingness of image boards.the group posted in the thread (alt.cyberpunk.tech) is active and is high quality, and (You) should get on your computer, install Pan, make an eternal-september.org account, open up the group and start posting on it RIGHT NOW. it takes 10 minutes, costs nothing, and it's really worth it.
>>106945774I'm old, we all choose a nickname back then, but still were anons.I do not use it to get any prize it privilege and if someone is silly enough to pick on an anonymous nickname... It's ok I do not care.That said, I'm glad people are enjoying the place, lurking, reading and contributing. Hope things will keep growing.
>>106937478Kill yourself, retarded nigger.
>>106946549meds
>>106940292lol nice
>>106945800i genuinely wanted to download this but i always feel like im gonna be kicked out just for lurking since i never feel like i know enough to actually discuss it on such niche platforms. Good to know i can just, uh, watch.
>>106950638Even back then most people lurked. No issue with that
>>106937478Why usenet specifically and not I2P, TOR or another altnet?
>>106951793Also what's the focus of alt.cyberpunk.tech? General tech? Development? Privacy tech? Cyberpunk larping?
>>106950638don't think it's possible to actually kick someone off usenet
>>106951840All those beside the LARPING
Is binary news reader still valid; any worthy successor?
>>106952400The troll bucket
Just joined. This is some pretty cool stuff. What clients are you guys using? I got thunderbird working but I don't really like thunderbird
>>106954992Betterbird is, well, better tyhan Thunderbird.Pan is popular on Linux.Seamonkey is also good (which is what I use).
>>106954992I use Pan under Windows, it's perfect.
