Hello all,
Hope you are all staying safe in this weird world we are living in right now.
Out of all this we all still keep on keepin' on .. We have now setup a news server on tilde.club which also peers with many other tilde server news servers. You can connect from anywhere by pointing your NNTP client to:
news.tilde.club Port: 119
It's still a fairly new service however there are people posting. So come on by and add to or create new conversations :)
Thanks

That should probably be incentive for me to set up a VPN-ish on one of our permanent-IP servers, or else to set it up in alpine (and check alpine more frequently), I guess.
Of course I thought "well I should poll one more time before deleting the config" and it worked so :shrug:
Hey,
This sounds super cool. What software do people use to connect? Any favorites? Any second choices others might prefer?

Pine (and alpine) can handle NNTP; that was my retro in-the-shell choice during first-gen tilde NNTP. This time around I'm trying out Pan (http://pan.rebelbase.com/) because I discovered I tended not to leave a shell logged into tilde. Liking it so far (though it doesn't minimize to systray and that makes me sad).

I'm using Thunderbird, since the server is public to the internet.
The wiki page for usenet news has some suggestions (I wrote the Thunderbird section):

I use thunderbird normally.. I use alpine when I’m using it on tilde.club.

I always forget Tbird does that. Couldn't make it work though. And now Pan won't connect either.
Oh. And now the browser can't connect to tilde.club either, nor ssh. But if I ssh in from a linode I get through.
... I feel like I should take that personally.
I cleared the recent firewall bans.. Try again it should work.
Let me know if it doesn't work for some reason.

tin?
1) tin [invoke at the command line] 2) S [to subscribe to groups by pattern] 3) * [gets everything local; not too much]
only 1 will be required in subsequent sessions. this is as memory serves. please correct if it's wrong.
