  • Usenet today on Fedora

    From Keanu Clark@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 16 22:02:24 2025
    Today I have managed to get connected to usenet
    on Fedora by following these steps
    1. Navigate to https://www.eternal-september.org
    2. Create and Account, using existing email
    3. Get login details from email, password included
    4. sudo dnf install slrn
    5. export NNTPSERVER=snews://news.eternal-september.org:563 (added to .bashrc) 6. Add the following to ~/.slrnrc (change info to yours)

    nnrpaccess "snews://news.eternal-september.org:563" "username" "passwd"
    set username "johndoe"
    set hostname "google.com"

    7. slrn -f ~/.jnewsrc --create

    I didn't even think it would post
    I was surprised
    Was my first post
    Surely not the last though

    If you set up a newsreader, you can always use test groups like
    misc.test.

    There is a place to post as many test posts as you want until your
    reader works as you want it.
