I've used news.individual.net for years. I use TB for email and used it 
for usenet too, but at some point the Ubuntu version had various problems 
including formatting issue and I switched to Pan with slrn on another 
machine as a backup.  

https://news.individual.net/

I wasn't aware of it but 'Discontinuation of the NetNews / Usenet service 
as of 30 September 2027'

The cartoon says 'FAREWELL, USENET!  THE ERA OF USENET IS OVER'

I'll worry about it next year. I'm not super fond of either but most of 
the technical stuff I'm interested in has moved to Reddit, Discord, and 
other forums.
