• Looking for peering

    From Elia@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 26 21:14:14 2023
    Hello,

    I am currently trying to start a inn2 news server for a school project,
    and I'm looking for peers to start. I currently do not have any peers as
    i just started. Cleanfeed is obviously used, static IP too.

    Contact me directly if you are willing to peer.

    Thank you,

    Elia

    School project? Is this news server only going to be active briefly, or
    do you have more long-term plans in mind? Brief isn't necessarily a
    problem, I just like to know some parameters.

    Cheers,
    Tom

    I plan on running it indefinitely.

    We need to set up and document an internet service, and then present it
    to class. Chose a news server because it's really unknown in my class

    See https://www.bofh.team/info.txt

    Just write me an email with your info, and your request. Pay attention,
    a peer with me full feed (binary included) it's _min_ 7/10GB/day, only
    2GB/day if you want full feed text.
    If your reduce to at least few hyearchies, the bandwitch will be reduced.

    dumb question but ... is usenet in fact or de facto an internet service?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet


    If you're asking about whether to say it is "in fact" an Internet
    service or the "de facto" service, you should say "in fact". "De facto"
    is technically the same phrase in Latin, but in practice it is used to
    imply an industry standard or what is common. Usenet is absolutely not "common", but it is an internet service.

    When it is being used over IP, then yes. In the past it was used with
    UUCP without IP involved.

    Those binary numbers seem lower than I would assume.

    Those text numbers seem about forty times higher than I was seeing.
    Though the massive spam hose coming out of Google as of late may be
    altering those numbers.

    Aside: I have long maintained that I think it's possible to run a text
    only Usenet server on 56k dial up.

    thanks for the common usage tip; so although usenet was established before
    the internet, usenet is nonetheless actually, in fact, an internet service;
    for some reason it seemed de facto meant "for all intents and purposes" or "might as well be", e.g. "big alphonse capone is chicago's de facto mayor"

    okay . . . so how usenet was used before the internet, i.e. uucp or "unix-to-unix copy", is not the same as how usenet became used once
    tcp/ip or "internet protocol suite" became global industry standard,
    making usenet truly an internet service (except for anyone who uses old-fashioned dial-up to connect directly to an nntp server)...yes?

    Usenet itself is basically the same, regardless of the transport
    protocol.
    Although, for me an internet service is something that uses IP
    (Internet protocol). NNTP is, UUCP over IP is, but UUCP directly
    doesn't use IP.

    The question is how far the term "Internet" goes.

    Are other transmission protocols like UUCP also "Internet"?

    Eh ... it depends.

    Admittedly I was thinking primarily about the amount of text Usenet
    traffic per day. I'm sticking with 50 - 100 MB. I'm fairly certain
    that can be transferred across a dial up modem in less than a day.

    There's also the question of how would client's be connecting? If they
    are over the same dial up modem connection that would imply not always
    on operation which brings it's own set of problems. If it's LAN based,
    well, then the dial up modem doesn't count. Dumb terminals connected to
    a serial port (other than the one the dial up modem is connected to) are
    also out of scope. }:-)

    I don't think so.

    Usenet is a network of news servers. That network is independent of how client's access the news server.

    There are other LAN protocols that clients can use to connect to servers
    across a LAN or even dial up.

    From the stuff I heard, they connected to the server via serial line

    Usenet servers used to be common things in University networks wherein

    We need to set up and document an internet service, and then present
    it to class. Chose a news server because it's really unknown in my

    That sounds fantastic. Would love to see an influx of fresh, new views
