![]() As though I had leaked some industry secret!. When I started discussing the loudness war on there, “None” It started in, an audio production newsgroup for the discussion of sound, audio recording, mixing, mastering, and the tools of the trade: mixers, microphones, digital audio workstations, and types of processing. “None” is the handle of a stalker who has been following me around the Usenetosphere since about 2013. I access usenet primarily via Google Groups, and I have a small problem: Greetings! Nice article about the “internet before the internet”. HTTP account includes unlimited NNTP access In the future you can expect reviews for newsgroup search engines, NZB sites, VPNs and Online storage as these companies continue to expand their services. In addition I have lists of Usenet providers that have free Usenet trials and special offers available from my site. So, here it is, my constantly evolving site of reviews of the best Usenet servers and newsreaders along with information on the rest. Finally, I started looking at blogging software, and although it is not a “perfect” fit, it meets most of the requirements I had, plus I have figured out how to tweak it with shortcodes and my old Perl scripts to allow dynamic content. I also tried putting it all into a wiki, with equally dissatisfying results. ![]() So, in an attempt at simplifying my life and being able to allow other authors to generate and maintain my content I have been looking at various CMS packages such as Joomla & Drupal, but neither was a great fit for me. But, much of the content still comes from Perl scripts written over 20 years ago. In the last few years Freenews has evolved further to include reviews of Newsgroup servers and clients, etc. That site quickly evolved to allows visitors to search for usenet newsgroups on free and commercial servers Freenews is the oldest newsgroup search site on the internet and has allowed visitors to browse for news servers with newsgroups they are interested in since before the internet really even went commercial. Those early pages were crude, no search, just a daily result link and black with green text (old monochrome monitor habit). In about 1993 I started converting the Perl scripts that I was using to find and track the free Usenet servers on the internet to display in a web page. ![]() I started working with Usenet back in 1987.
