I’d love to hear about it.

Most of my notes about operating system design are in paper, and in disorganized files in computer (some of which have not been updated from my changed ideas), I have written some on Hacker News as well, such as: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40651272 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40651272 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40676995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40676995 (I had also written some on Usenet, and also on IRC.) Perhaps I could set up a NNTP for discussion, that work can be made to write the specifications (which can be changed as the actual implementation is made, in case that reveals problems with the specifications), and to discuss implementations.

  Is it possible you send me an email?
  - zzo38computer 2y ago
    I could, but I would prefer not to. Public communication would be preferable, such as by using NNTP. (I may set up a NNTP for this; I have a NNTP server set up already and can easily add a newsgroup.)
- zzo38computer 2y ago
  Now I have set up a NNTP: nntp://zzo38computer.org/un2.org.zzo38computer.osdesign (at the time of this writing, there are no messages there; I may add one later, but anyone else also may do so)

    Thunderbird chokes on this.
    - zzo38computer 2y ago
      It works with Lynx. I don't know what is the problem with Thunderbird, but I added an article in case it doesn't work for newsgroups that do not already have an article. If you are getting a specific error message, what it is?

        Nearly a week and no reply. I do not understand your motivations here: inventing new Internet protocols, apparently intentionally misusing terminology, etc. ("I set up a NNTP" makes no more sense than "here, try to connect over brown": NNTP is a protocol and the normal usage is to set up a news server over which one communicates via a news client over NNTP.) Maybe this is meant to be funny, or sarcastic/ironic, or performance art, or something else; I can't tell. What it is not is helpful, informative, or clear.

        > It is meant to be helpful, informative, and clear. It is none of these. Please try harder. I was interested in following these links and reading about this, but your strange attitude, opaque and incomprehensibly cryptic responses, and general lack of cooperation mean that I have now lost interest. If you want to play silly games, invent your own protocols and your own unique way of misusing existing language, post "links" that only work using your own client software, and other strange lateral responses, that is of course up to you. Perhaps it is some sort of act. But do not expect everyone to like it or to be amused. I am not. I am just annoyed. I suspect most people won't even give it that much attention.
