Liar. The nym-shifty trolls (you) are tiring. You'll have to nymshift again. [blocked]

One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:

Donkey Button == Ass Key == ASCII

Your juvenile and race-slur language and profanity are unacceptable, dumb savage behavior. You might think you are being 'edgy'. You're just a spectacle of stupidity. [blocked]

DarkMX is old-school and very retro:
https://darkmx.app/

It also has a debian package downloadable from the site. One can run it in a container and forget about it.

The link looks fishy. 'ytmnd.com' looks like a spammy domain.

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "f*** around and find out." Brutal.

What is it with these perps carrying machetes? A machete is for toting around in the woods and brush, not downtown. And threatening police with a machete is a real stupid move and removes all sympathy for the suspect. Just dumb.

On the same site a Canadian suspect fled across the border into USA and was captured by the Washington State Patrol. This genius also had a machete. What gives?

I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.

I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?

Last week I used transmission-GTK to download a Linux ISO. I occasionally use LibreTorrent on Android, but only when I need to grab something away from the Desktop machine.

I misunderstood. I assumed you meant plan9 from Bell Labs. There was a long lull of activity on the child project that is now maintaining it.

== Usenet: Network News Free Speech Network ==

  4. Rough traffic count

Do you remember Network News, AKA Usenet? At over 40 years old, Usenet is the original 'social network'. Usenet is the oldest bastion of digital free speech networks.

Usenet is highly resistant to censorship. For decades Usenet has served as a free speech haven. It has also served as a platform for secure and anonymous messaging.

I suspect that many of GenY and GenZ have never heard of Usenet. We can change that. We can alert them to this censorship-resistant network as an alternative to highly censored social media.

## Ways to access Usenet ##

There are multiple ways to access Usenet:

- web front ends
- dedicated graphical clients
- dedicated terminal clients

## Links to Usenet hosts and software ##

Users can access Usenet to read and post by installing free client software or by visiting a host that provides web browser access.

* Free Forum front end for Usenet: https://novabbs.org

* Free Usenet servers list: https://sybershock.com/#usenet

* Free Usenet reader software:

- Thunderbird https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
- Betterbird https://www.betterbird.eu/
- Claws Mail https://www.claws-mail.org/
- Sylpheed https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
- Seamonkey https://www.seamonkey-project.org/

## Rough traffic count ##

A few days ago when I counted, more than 16 thousand articles were posted in Usenet threads in a 24-hour period. I checked today as of a few minutes past midnight GMT, and almost 12 thousand articles were posted in the past 24-hour period. At this rate about 4.4 million articles would be posted in a single year.

Share this information with your friends!
