  • novabbs usenet interface?

    From *Hemidactylus*@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 14 23:26:26 2024
    Lawyer Daggett had posted with this novabbs interface and Burkhard has resurfaced using it too. I knew they would return. Has anyone seen Bill
    Rogers?

    Anyway this:
    https://www.novabbs.com/interests/thread.php?group=talk.origins

    I’ve put it through some basic tests:

    https://whois.domaintools.com/167.172.133.81

    https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/00f9592f2e0cd11a1bba924d0de5b35bf0242857ba97ea58b7abf9c3e667629a/detection

    Seems kosher.

    What’s it like? I see something about registering. Is that it? Is it completely web-based?

    From Burkhard’s headers:
    Organization: novaBBS
    Return-Path: <news@i2pn2.org>
    User-Agent: Rocksolid Light

    What’s “Rocksolid Light”? Is that just part of a web interface or is there
    an actual client-server setup involved?

    I see this also which brings https://www.i2pn2.org/ into the picture: https://www.novabbs.com/common/connect.php

    Is that a way to gain access with a traditional newsreader?

    So anyway this usenet access venue seems interesting. Feedback?

    "Rocksolid Light is a web based forum using nntp as a backend. It may be
    run as a standalone server, or may synchronize with other nntp servers
    and other instances of Rocksolid Light."

    It looks like there is a news server called:

    news.novabbs.org

    Which I was able to connect to and view the active file of some 40,000
    groups. I didn't test posting to it.
