  • new minor version of usenet_reborn nntp client

    From ReK2 Hispagatos@rek2@usenet_reborn.tui to alt.comp.lang.rust,hispagatos.comunicados,alt.2600.madrid,alt.2600 on Fri Jul 24 18:09:08 2026
    From Newsgroup: alt.2600

    Updated **usenet_reborn**: fixed minor bugs and bumped all crates/libs to the latest stable versions.

    More info:
    https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/usenet_reborn/refs/0.2.4 https://crates.io/crates/usenet_reborn

    Next few days I'll add a missing feature: forward/cross-post an article from one newsgroup to another. For example, from **alt.2600** to **alt.2600.madrid** or **hispatatos.talk**.


    Happy Hacking

    ItrCOs exciting to see you doing this!

    If you donrCOt mind me asking, whatrCOs your vision for how yourCOd like it to be different from existing newsreaders?

    or **hispatatos.talk**.

    In most newsreaders you do this just by editing the Newsgroups header:

    Newsgroups: alt.2600,alt.2600.madrid,hispagatos.talk

    ItrCOs just text, right?

    Thank you.

    be different from existing newsreaders?


    Well, I am one of those old hacker unix dudes that think if something is not there, nothing stopping me from making it, is why I am a hardcode free software
    and hacker ethics advocate :)
    and I was looking for a "moderm" non GUI, but TUI with vim keys that will
    only do lite client things, no need for tons of things like SLRN (what I was using before)

    Next few days I'll add a missing feature: forward/cross-post an article from
    one newsgroup to another. For example, from **alt.2600** to **alt.2600.madrid**
    or **hispatatos.talk**.

    In most newsreaders you do this just by editing the Newsgroups header:

    Newsgroups: alt.2600,alt.2600.madrid,hispagatos.talk

    The program already does this, what it was missing was
    to be able to graba an already posted article from someone and forward it to other newsgroups.
