Sure is alpha so I did not yet give a though to compose a "good" example
file to be honest, every 60m or so I fix/add something new so keep
checking ;)

hmm, wonder what could be different than on my news.hispagtos.org server
we run INN, for the integration test should be for sure related to Auth
I will pick into this tomorrow is almost 1m here here in Europe.
I def will want to make it compatible with more auth types, started with
TLS since we enforce it on news.hispagatos.org so creds are not flying
around in clear form.

I know it may be a lot to ask but this is not 100% related to this post
per se but whoever finds an issue I will appreciate if you post a ticket
or if have a suggestions as well here: https://sr.ht/~rek2/Usenet_Reborn/trackers
TODO is obvios for suggestions/features
Issues for bugs and other issues.

Thanks for trying it! really <3 today I fixed some issues and the
footer/status bar.
git log for more details.

Looks nice. Even if you'd like to see a list of newsgroups alongside
post subjects, I think the client should allow the user to just display
the article taking the entire window: otherwise we waste space for the
article. We should emphasize reading and writing; so when I'm in
reading mode, I should see only the article; when in writing mode, I
should have the entire window for my writing. My few cents. Congrats.

Argh! A near 5MB image downloads when that page loads, causing me
to rapidly hit the STOP button while my internet data runs down the
drain. This is why I'm going to need to write a proxy that scales
images like that down on a remote server before passing the page
on to me (very much complicated by sites like yours that only use
HTTPS connections). Why can't people scale images down anymore?

#usenet #nntp #rust #programming #tui #decentralization #happyHacking #Hispagatos

I'm not looking for new newsreaders, but I went looking at the web
site (now with image loading disabled) to find out what all this #
stuff is about. I didn't find any info on it, but guessing that its
purpose is for filtering articles by topics, why not use the
"Keywords:" header instead? Then the info (comma-separated) can be
used by newsreaders for sorting articles fetched with HEAD, before
they download the article BODY.

Or alternatively, automatically convert the # entries into
"Keywords:" entries before sending the article. Although I find it
hard to read your posts with them in the body like that.

I hear you, sorry as I mention this is still very alpha and doing it on my
free time so I did a screenshot and put it there, I have tried to crunch
a bit the image, I got it 1M smaller, not much but is something.
eventually I will like to add a small 3-4 secs video... maybe...

Not sure of what you mean, most likely my lack of English, my apologies.
this client I started it for myself to replace SLRN and to get more into
rust language, specially for TUI's using ratatui
so step by step I am adding features to replace SLRN that I was not even
using 70% of slrn features, after a couple months I had people starting to
use it, so now I feel that I need to work on it more :)

is not a SLRN replacement is more like a mini-slrn if this makes sense?

Hello, there is one on the front page of the project on sr.ht
someone complained here that the image was to big so I very fast run pngcrunch on it and is 1M less
Do please remember this is alpha, a lot of work still going on on my free time. the repo/project is here:
https://sr.ht/~rek2/Usenet_Reborn/
there is an image there, will make some sort of short 4-5 secs video when I get to release something in beta stage.

Well what I meant was reducing the resolution, for example with
this command:
convert -scale 712 usenet_reborn.png usenet_reborn,s.png

I get: https://objectstorage.ap-melbourne-1.oraclecloud.com/n/axqlf7atlxkh/b/attachments/o/usenet_reborn,s.png

Then you can link to the bigger image so people who want more detail
can click on it to see that rather than everyone have to download
the full-size image file when they visit the page:
<a href="https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/usenet_reborn/blob/HEAD/assets/usenet_reborn.png">

That's fine. I'm just assuming that your software does something
with those # entries (otherwise why post them?). So I'm pointing
out an existing standard for that which will work better if you'd
like other newsreaders to start supporting it too.

Perl's Net::NNTP timeout is 120 seconds, rek2_nntp's is 5. <URL:https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/maint-5.40/cpan/libnet/lib/Net/NNTP.pm> <URL:https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/rek2_nntp/tree/master/item/src/auth.rs>

News.Eternal-September.ORG requires more than 5 and less than 120 to authenticate.
