debian-user over NNTP: linux.debian.user (was mailing list vs "the futur")

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I really really want to abstain from that thread. So a new one:

Gene Heskett wrotei in 'mailing list vs "the futur"':

But not because of the transport protocoli or message format. NNTP belongs
to the same breed of reasonably concise protocols as the mail protocols
POP3 and SMTP. The message formats too are very similar: A list of header
lines and a message body.

Of course, if it is about newsgroups with videos or many large pictures,
you get clients sucking data for hours. But a news server which imposes
the same restrictions as most mailing list servers would not cause
more traffic or storage need.

While googling for debian-user as newsgroup i found
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/10/msg00735.html
where Miles Fidelman points to
  nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user
i.e. newsgroup

  linux.debian.user

which should be on most news servers (because it is of modest size).
Newest message on the server which i can use:

  638790   <wleoV-8vW-7@gated-at.bofh.it>

My mail box seems to be about half an hour ahead of the news server.


Have a nice day :)
