But you need to pay for usenet to use a newsreader, right?
- vertex-four 8y agoThere's at least one free Usenet server for the text hierarchies. You only need to pay if you're wanting binaries (i.e. an alternative to torrenting).
- JetSpiegel 8y agoFor text groups, there is AIOE and Eternal September.
- mherdeg 8y agoI just went ahead and logged in to a machine where I had slrn installed, then signed up for an account with http://www.eternal-september.org/ http://www.eternal-september.org/ and configured my .slrnrc with set force_authentication 1 nnrpaccess news.eternal-september.org [user] [password] then ran something like slrn --nntp -h news.eternal-september.org --create and L*nethack to select rec.games.roguelike.nethack then do s "happy to ann" to do a subject search going forward, then read the message. Page down and up with space & b, etc. It's been a little while since I used a newsreader and I didn't use to slrn, so took a few minutes to get used to.
