    Effective February 22, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new
    Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new
    content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of >historical data will still be supported as it is done today.

    Rather pointless, but ...

    #!/bin/ksh

    typeset -i GG=$(date -d "2024-02-22 00:00:00" +%s)
    typeset -i NOW=$(date +%s)

    while [ $NOW -lt $GG ]
    do
    echo t-minus $((GG-NOW)) seconds
    sleep 1
    NOW=$(date +%s)
    done

    echo +++ no carrier +++

    return 1

    can't help but wonder if the powers that be might've been advised to command their google2news division to stand down and quietly withdraw from the field
