    I think the google groups filter is working

    There's no general G2 filter, the various news server admins worked hard
    to just filter spam from G2, instead of everything. Individual users
    may have their own filter, mine marks-as-read messages from G2 users who
    aren't whitelisted, but it also tags them, so I can spot new candidates
    for my whitelist.

    It turns out that in the rPi group there's only been one G2 user
    (Nelson) since october (not counting gmail users who don't use G2).

    lots of people just use gmail because it's convenient

    yes, but plenty of people who have a gmail address use real nntp servers instead of google groups, some folks elsewhere concocted their own
    filters binning everyone matching
    from:*@gmail.com
    instead of
    message-id:*@googlegroups.com

    Yes, and as we all know, convenience trumps everything: cost, efficiency, security, even personal safety. (The latter might not apply to Usenet,
    but it does to things like the 737 MAX.)

    I've found that the massive flood of spam which has hit many newsgroups contains a tell-tale "Injection-Info" header. I use slrn, and by adding stanzas like the following to ~/News/Source:

    [comp.*.*]
    Score: =-9999
    Expires: 9/14/2024
    Injection-Info: google*
    Newsgroup: comp\.*\.*

    I lose all the spam while still seeing legitimate messages
    from gmail vict^H^H^H^Husers.

    The only thing that's new is the PI 5 and nobody can get one?

    In stock at my local PiSuppplier...

    https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-5

    Yeah, I just got the email. Maybe things will liven up a bit here.


    I will probably get one, but a 3D printer is higher priority right now... >>>

    I've just 3D printed a couple of padding pieces for the ends of a roller
    blind which didn't fit properly. Probably overkill but you never know
    what you can use a printer for unless you've got one.



    I've had so many pi cases printed by a mate its getting
    embarrassing...and I have at least two more.

    Just unsure what printer to get.

    Ender 3 Pro will meet your needs.
    It's good with ABS.

    You might as well get one with Klipper firmware

    Which from Creality, would be an Ender-3 V3 KE

    You might as well get one with Klipper firmware nowadays, most printers
    have 300°C hotends now so can do ABS (might need a home-brewed shroud
    round it to keep draughts away to prevent warping).

    I'm about to get a Ratrig Vcore 3.1 (the 300mm cube size) thanks
    to an unexpected bonus. I'll report back on it (much) later. It's on topic
    too since it has a Pi to run the RatOS preconfigured Klipper. Not the
    cheapest but it's a brute of a printer.

    Nice ... coreXY models do appeal, as do as IDEX models. But in the end
    I just went for an easy to assemble bed-slinger, rather than a printer
    which becomes a project in itself.

    I have to admit I was considering the V-Minion - until the extra
    bonus appeared.
