Cross-posting to more than three newsgroups? Then you will need to do follow-ups. In other words, if you post to the original newsgroup and
two more, you will need to do follow-ups.

Thanks for the reply. That's the sort of info I was
looking for. Where is this documented> Is there an

Using the reader in SeaMonkey. Freshly made account,
what I found googling is to set the username and password
to null. It let me make a couple test posts, then
I started getting errors like, too many followups, too
many errors, sent too many articles...

I tried ports 119 and 563. Otherwise pretty vanilla
setup.

Have you tried turning off "Always Request Authentication"
with Paganini ? How did it work then ? The setting should
be in Server Settings.

there (can read older articles, nothing new tho) and
thought I'd try paganini. Not sure what might be
the issue. Can't even post to one group.

Paganini has had some outages, and I haven't heard
whether the root cause was important or it was just
a side effect of ongoing work.

Some news servers have been under active attack, so you
don't really know what other load could be on a server.

I've tested every single free news server ever suggested on this newsgroup.

Some have closed due to those aforementioned attacks (e.g., Netfront).
Others have limited usage due to sheer overwork (e.g. Steve's mixmin).
Still others died with the aging of their hardware (e.g., Paolo's aioe).
Some died with their owners (e.g., RetroGuy, may he rest in peace).
Some work just fine, but for a limited group list (e.g., Tambov.ru).
And I could go on...and on... as I've tested every single one of them.

As for Paganini, it popped up a few years ago, and then disappeared almost instantly, with the news admin saying it was to catch a bastard of some
sort (as I recall, so I hope I'm not impugning Ivo's reputation here).

Then, as I recall, the admin said something to the effect of "I'll bring it back" mentioning something about the meaning of "BOFH" in that explanation.

After that, there was no mention of either of those strange oddities.
It "became" a standard login-free Usenet server to all appearances.

With Steve Crook being forced to limit his login-free news server, it's
just about the only general-purpose free news server with full privacy.

However, many other news server admins enforce mostly-full privacy.
They do that by obfuscating the identity of the poster in the header.

As for the Paganini rules, they've changed greatly over the years, since I
used to use it a lot but I've backed off a lot since Ivo limits the number
of posts (understandably) and many other things (e.g., the article length).

I used to get a billion unwarranted "badword" rejections in the bofh early days, but that has been diminished greatly, although it's not totally gone.

I understand why Ivo wouldn't publish his rules, as I'm sure he's being hammered by abuse as much as solani, dizum, neodome & albisani were.

But if I keep a post short (i.e., not my style since I care to help people
and delight in teaching them more so than almost anyone else you know), Ivo seems to forward my posts.

This post is merciful short, so I will see if Ivo let's it thru.

It's not. You have to be observant enough to figure it out.

That's correct. There's a limit on the number of posts from a host / IP address, typically 3, then you must wait some hours. There are ways
around it.

Followups limited to max 3 and they must all be from the same hierarchy,
e.g. "alt.*, "rec.*", "misc.*".

I tried ports 119 and 563. Otherwise pretty vanilla
setup.

It works fine.

Steve is taking a break.

Ray decided to bend over and drop his pants because of whines from a
couple of lefty assholes entrenched in the alt.fan.rush-limbaugh froup,
and limits x-posting to 3 if it's in the group string.

Hilariously, a couple of the whiners had troll accounts on ES so they shot themselves in the foot. Their participation is now limited like everyone else.

Now, that's not true.

Paolo was in a rental COLO.

His progression goes like this.

1) Started in his moms basement (as hinted by Ray making a comment about how it started).
2) Moved to a COLO in Italy (Paolo's home country).

In an unfortunate incident, Paolo made a referral to the
quality of service provided by his Italian COLO. This is the
sort of comment any of us would make about a provider, after
some incident. well, the Italian company scanned social media
and even USENET (via the Google keyword feature at the time),
located the posting in question, and they *canceled* the COLO
rental on the spot. Paolo lost all his data.

3. Paolo moved to Hetzner in Germany, the same setup Ray used
at the time. Paolo would then be subject to German law,
and he would have more recovery options if a similar incident
happened again (as in the Italian COLO). It took six months
for Paolo to write new HTML pages for his server, as well as
set up a new copy of INND and all the peer connections and so on.

It was while in a Hetzner install, that an (apparently)
RAID failure occurred, seemingly with all data lost.
But we don't really know what happened -- it could have been
a server exploit, and somebody just erased the array on him.
One thing about COLOs, is I have never detected anyone mentioning
a "regular backup" for the disk on a COLO machine. And sending
the machine image to a home disk drive, could use up all the
bandwidth limit on the COLO machine.

After this happened, E-S has since moved from Hetzner Germany
to Hetzner Finland. And I hope poor Paolo is still alive and
well in Italy.

As computers go, there seem to be a lot of failures for a locked
and temperature controlled environment of these COLOs. I don't
know what is up with that. You cannot go into the room where
the machine is located, to "look at" your machine. It's strictly
a hands-off rental.

A few years ago, the original team that ran the project disbanded due to
the project's demise. I took over the project, recruiting the people who wanted to continue, and the server took on a new name (from linuxd to bofh).

Then, as I recall, the admin said something to the effect of "I'll bring it back" mentioning something about the meaning of "BOFH" in that explanation.

Yep, I catch it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_Operator_From_Hell :)

No. Just (great) laziness. I completly ignore anything it's not directly involved on the right management. But I'm solving that too now that I
have more time.

I appreciated the bastard operator from hell's accolade, as even though I'm
in my 80's, there are pimples that I still love popping on my ruddy nose!

It's my innocent eagerness that makes me feel for people like Steve & Ivo & Wolfgang who have to deal with the abuse and rental hell like that which
Jesse had to overcome along with the life changes such as when Roman Racine took over Albasani from Alexander Bartolich & Sabine Schultz long ago.

Some free news servers just drop off without us knowing what happened, such
as with Steen Jensen's Sunsite, e all the time while others are forced to switch to read only such as Steve's mixmin and Alex de Joode's dizum.

I, for one, being a prolific Usenet poster for decades, very much
appreciate that they all allow(ed) us to post our knowledge using their
kind services, as they're all kindred people who care greatly of others.

Perhaps YOUR neighbors should know about your plastic garbage bag floor coverings held stable by turpentine and paint thinner cans on the corners so you can grow and process your "medicinal" dog shit boot floor weed.

I rebut his unsupported allegation that I "have made multiple
intimidating threats in January to "post my pics". "
A proper citation is required. I won't be holding my breath.

"I am not a "hetero cismale"." - Steve K. Hall in <1r5hu1f.z02fkr1t8gjr5N%snipeco.2@gmail.com>

"Claiming that I "refuse to respect pronouns" is dead wrong. I respect them with everyone but "Jen" and "their" ilk, because "they" are a phony." - Scott Doty AKA Creon AKA Vallor AKA Doc Hammerhead declares why he ironically reserves the "right" to misgender others just like his MAGA bigot cohorts are wont to in Message-ID: <l54g7pF27huU2@mid.individual.net>

"You're stupid if you run "make" as root, numbnuts." - Scott Doty in <qgmhQ.8004$v9ff.889@fx42.iad>

"It's just like you to read all that, and come up a sick and clueless response like that one, totally unrelated to the point. It must get confusing to be intelligent enough to "sit at the best reading table in school," and fail to cobble together a basic understanding of what you've just read. The nasty side of you always manages to take control to guard your fragile ego, which explains why you never get along with people, and get visitors like Red Elephant who take the time and trouble to come by and embarrass you..." - <MPG.41696ec8ecc18ea4989796@usnews.blocknews.net> Jimbo responds to a yes/no question exactly as one might expect him to.

"Bullshit! You salivate over every word I write, then beg for more. Then when you realize that I've put you in another hole you can't worm your way out of... even if you did "sit at the best reading table in elementary school," YOU revert to pedo lames, because that's the best you can do. In fact, no one here has any interest in your obsession with pedo lames but you, because you're intellectually weak. In fact, you seem suspiciously obsessed with that topic. Maybe some day we'll find out why." - <MPG.4169de194a070345989798@usnews.blocknews.net> No Jim, I am not "obsessed" with what you did and concealed and continue to backpedal from.

"I think we should destroy every last fucking mosque in America." - "Checkmate, DoW #1" <Lunatic.Fringe@The.Edge> proves for us that white males are violent in Message-ID: <MPG.32c5bfefd18c9a698f0a8@news.altopia.com>

"Yeah, but you think everybody's Greg. There are a couple people here who can't resist responding to everything the aSSwurm or the Pussy Willow says. It does me no good to plonk aSSwurm and Pussy Willow if I still have to wade through a hundred inane posts a day involving those two assholes, so now I've plonked the chronic responders as well. They'll figure it out, and then they can make a choice... exchange stupid drivel with those two, or have more intelligent and interesting conversations with me. I know damned well Greg got sick of all that shit, and now I'm sick of it too. Those who choose to get led around by the lowest common denominator are fucking up AC and every other group they play that game in. If that's the kind of Usenet they want, they can wallow in the same slop as the two retards elsewhere, because they're only contributing to fucking this group up too. I can take or leave this shit, because I have plenty to keep me occupied with my room addition project, and it's a hell of a lot more rewarding than exchanging baby talk with the likes of the aSSwurm. May his fucking worthless AIDS-infested carcass drop fucking dead ASAP and quit wasting oxygen. To sum it up, talk to those two idiots elsewhere, or they'll probably be the only people left to talk to here." One can only presume that Jim and Creon/Vallor have solved this problem and are together in a private chat "having more intelligent and interesting conversations" instead of these "Civil" calls for shunning and authoritative control of discussion.

"I'm pretty sure all gods are fictional, I'm smart enough to not proclaim I know this." - Kwills is only smart enough to doubt himself while arguing that a belief in imaginary made-up gods can't just be ignored as "mental illness" in <mo4q0j9tcqjt68s039loiacrbarihsh9i5@4ax.com>

"If you worried half as much about your own personal life as you do everyone else's, you might almost be tolerable, obsessed stalker." -James "Checkmate" Gorman, in perhaps the most ironic and mentally-challenged statement ever made on Usenet. <MPG.4001ba2c14cace6c98cb6f@usnews.blocknews.net>

"Trying to diminish others doesn't make you look any better. In fact, it does quite the opposite. Why are you always so bitter and angry? Do you have AIDS or something like so many other tranny girls do?" -James "Checkmate" Gorman in <MPG.405409befd41f28898969d@test.blocknews.net>

"You should see my archive on you" -James "Checkmate" Gorman teases us with his "dosser" in <MPG.3eea81b23145043b98c338@usnews.blocknews.net>

"Sorry, nothing to see here. The joint wasn't as bad as they say, but I'm not looking to go back. I'm a model citizen, clean as a whistle. I've owned my own home for 12 years, owned my own business almost as long, don't bother anyone and they don't bother me. You have nothing in any "police report" pertaining to me. Don't you think they would have "come a-knockin" a long time ago if they had any reason to? You're delusional and paranoid, and I have to wonder why.

Oh... I should mention that there are a LOT of trannies in prison. I don't know why, but there are. The State even has to give them hormone shots for their tiddies at taxpayer's expense, and they wear bras and panties. I found everything about them revolting. That's why the whole "Bubba" thing is almost completely a myth, except in cell living. That shit wouldn't fly in a 100-man dorm, but trust me, those little trollops find ways to serve the willing when the lights go out. You see something, you keep your mouth shut about it because that way you don't get in a wreck. I never partook in such activities because the whole idea is just repulsive. I think that's a big part of what I don't like about you. I've seen how they act and I've talked to a few... total drama queens in every sense." -James "Checkmate" Gorman reminisces about prison in <MPG.3ceb37c2eddbaff98b07a@usnews.blocknews.net>

"Not true. I've seen square waves on the oscilloscope from some certain generator. Square waves can be created from other than sine waves. Sine waves aren't everything (or anything you sick pervert %), I think that's the point you are missing. - Mathemagician "Lane Larson" in <939d6741-df96-5f2e-a444-b6dfd77de09e@stoat.inhoin.edu> seems to argue that square wave generators must use Fourier transforms "of course" to generate "almost" square waves... in his feeble attempt to quash my assertion that "square waves do not exist in reality" in post <=3D?U=3D?UTF-8?Q?T?=3DF-8?Q?=3DF0=3D9F=3D8C=3DBA?=3DKWuXdYTXCQ5ApC$@88.203.236.221=3D?U=3D?UTF-8?Q?T?=3DF-8?Q?=3DF0=3D9F=3D8C=3DBA?=3D>.
