What I miss more is the “rtfm.mit.edu” FTP site, which was a repository for all the FAQ’s of all the Usenet newsgroups. I don’t even know if it was mirrored anywhere.
(I know about faqs.org, but those are frequently wildly out of date compared with those on rtfm.mit.edu, which seemed to be continously updated.)

- teddyh 4y agoNice, thanks! Now, assuming that at least some FAQ’s kept updating even after 2015, where do these new FAQ’s get collected? EDIT: I just found <http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/doc/faqs/ http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/doc/faqs/> (and <ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/doc/faqs;type=d>) which seems to be exactly what I am looking for! It has updates until about 2018, which seems reasonable.
