• Sorry for spamming the list

    From Russell Stinnett@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 6 22:40:01 2025
    I didn't realize that the posts would be so delayed, or that they
    were going through at all. I hoped that they would just outright fail
    until one finally went through and that would be it.

    So, again, I apologize for the spam. I don't know of another way to test
    it.

    Hi Russell,

    Maybe that's lesson #1 - email is asynchronous and not necessarily instant.

    So, again, I apologize for the spam. I don't know of another way to test
    it.


    https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/ might be helpful.

    Welcome to the list, by the way :)

    All the very best, as ever,

    Andy Cater

    That's easy: there's a special list called debian-lists-test
    with which to conduct experiments.

    TIL.

    I have been a Debian Developer for going on 20 years and I never knew
    about this list. It seems super handy.

    Unfortunately, that list isn't mirrored to usenet, so it wouldn't really
    be a complete test.

    That doesn't make sense. Usenet and NNTP is a different protocol than

    protocols to cross pollinate?

    Gateways. They live between protocols. In the concrete case, mail to
    news gateways (for example gmane [1]).

    Here's Shoshana Zuboff, quoting Hannah Arendt on accumulation:

    "Marx's 'original sin of simple robbery,' she writes, "had
    eventually to be repeated lest the motor of capital accumulation
    suddenly die down"

    The idea of silos came up with capitalism trying to rob society for
    its own profit (early examples are AOL, the current ones should be
    so well-known that they don't need mention, I think).

    Cheers

    [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane
    [2] Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, chapter 4
    "The Moat Around the Castle".
    Marx's "original sin" are the enclosures [3], Hannah Arendt wrote
    this in "The Origins of Totalitarianism" and attributes the idea
    to Rosa Luxemburg.

    Indeed, SMTP and NNTP are quite different and can't be expected to cross pollinate. However, in Emacs and Linux, all things are possible, in

    was able to use posting-styles and hooks in Gnus and read posts via
    usenet and then follow-up to said post without switching interfaces. I
    can now post/follow-up as if posting directly to a newsgroup.

    Thank you everyone for you patience.
