Met a friend last week, were talking about the days back in the 90s when we were posting in newsgroups and how this was an important source to build our Linux and #BSD knowledge. We were wondering if there is still a usenet today. Research was really disappointing. There are a few usenet servers out there, but they are not for free anymore like they were back then. Remember when every internet provider also provided a news server.
Anyone else missing good old
