| mepy | Do I need a special equipment to join a bbs? | 10:41 |
| mepy | Do I need an internet connection to join a bbs? | 10:41 |
| mepy | What is the difference between BBSes and newsgroup? | 10:42 |
| lkcl | BBSes used to only be available via dial-up modems because there was no generally-available internet | 12:26 |
| lkcl | look up nntp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup | 12:28 |
| mepy | Do we still have dial-up modems? Is it possible to join a bbs again? | 12:48 |
| mepy | I've read the usenet newsgroup article. Still I do not understand how can I connect to them or I can I "use" them, read something or post something! | 12:56 |
| mepy | Do I need a dedicated software? (hardware?) | 12:56 |

| lkcl | nobody runs them any more. | 19:30 |
| lkcl | dial=up modems are only still in use in some of the furthest locations in "rural" america. | 19:33 |
| lkcl | mePy2[m]: basically the question you're asking is about 20 years too late :) | 19:34 |
| mepy | lkcl: I hope not! | 20:17 |
| mepy | I really would like to chat with someone using them! | 20:17 |
| mepy | How can hardware be obsolete? ... (well it could be but...) | 20:17 |
| mepy | I am going to search what a dial-up modem is lol | 20:18 |
| mepy | I finally | 20:19 |
| mepy | (I am sorry, CR key issue) | 20:20 |
| mepy | Anyway, I do not know them, so I should not talk about them, but I feel they were (:() so much easier and faster to use. | 20:20 |
| mepy | And very cool places where to chat with new people and have fun | 20:23 |
| mepy | Speaking about the project, do you have any image to show me? lol | 20:24 |
| mepy | How many images there are in this project ;) xD :P | 20:24 |
| cesar[m] | mepy: Google Groups provides a browser interface to Usenet. A newsgroup relevant to Libre-SOC is comp.arch, accessible at https://groups.google.com/g/comp.arch | 22:44 |
| cesar[m] | Otherwise, Thunderbird has a NNTP client, but then you need to find a public news server, I think. | 22:51 |
| sorear | in the 90s and 2000s your ISP would almost always run a news server alongside their email server | 23:05 |
