I run a public Usenet node, it&#x27;s not that hard and is kind of fun:  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;csiph.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;csiph.com</a><p>One of my goals is to eventually build a web frontend that doesn&#x27;t suck.. Google Groups is pretty terrible.  I would love to find a way to crawl and archive Google&#x27;s Usenet archive but they rate limited it many years ago.  Highwinds&#x2F;easynews has complete text retention back to 2003 or so, and I think that&#x27;s the oldest I&#x27;ve seen elsewhere.<p>I released a SaltStack formula <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kev009&#x2F;salt-innd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kev009&#x2F;salt-innd</a> so you can see what an inn config looks like and set up your own.  Without peering, it would be a pretty nice way to do company discussion.. new employees can see all the old topics which mailing lists are often not ideal for.<p>Feel free to PM me for posting access or peering, would be nice to get more discussion and eyeballs in the comp.* space.
